SS question, possibly...

[lc1158]

I realize this isn't SS question day but I wanted to see if anyone else has noticed the same thing. Got my Tdap on Tuesday. Up until then, Peanut was rolling and tumbling up a storm. Since the shot, she hasn't been quite as gremlin-like in terms of movement. Still does her 10 in an hour but no more roly poly antics. I really miss them! I know that fatigue is a side effect of the shot for moms so was thinking: well if it can make me sleepy, maybe it can do the same thing for Peanut. It did not make me sleepy but my arm has a noticeable red lump and is rather itchy so I did react some to the vaccine. Maybe she is just going through another growth spurt, maybe she just doesn't have the room
to squiggle anymore and maybe (probably) I'm just being an SS.

Thoughts?

I have a feeling it's just due to the fact that even babies need a break sometimes. Especially active ones. Every now and then you'll end up with a day where they rest up from all that activity. If you're still getting movement, I wouldn't worry too much about the ferocity of it. (I know, easier said than done - I had something similar last week without a TDAP to blame it on!)

I would agree with billyhorrible. Maybe baby just needs a rest, a lot goes on in there. As having a not so active baby, can't really give advice but I am sure all is fine!

Thanks ladies. Needed a reality check there. Seems like I need to find something to stress about these days - probably anything to divert my attention away from the fact that this is really happening and I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm a big fan of control - hello type-a personality. Lol.

I think we all do it. I definitely have been. I always seem to focus on something I can "control" when I start stressing about what is about to happen! Idk what I am doing either. Right now I am freaking about getting all if baby's laundry washed to make me feel better. After that's down, Idk what I will stress about!

If it makes you feel better, I am overdue for a teeth cleaning and have spent the good part of the morning researching gum disease in pregnancy and am now concerned with baby coming early. I have an appointment for 5/19 and no issues to speak of but that's just the kind of SS I am...

I agree with PP about baby just taking it easy. I had the same thoughts the week I had my TDAP too because I noticed she had quieted down but now she is back to rolling and thumping around in there and it's gotten even stronger. I completely understand the control issues, I'm having them too!
