    Baby is getting bigger and doesn't have as much room anymore. As long as your are feeling fetal movement you should be okay. If you are really concerned then see your doctor, no need to stress yourself out, get checked and put your mind at ease.

    You only have 3 months to go, so rest, eat healthy, and get ready for baby, it all changes once that little bundle comes home. ;)

    Congrats.

    As Altenweg said, check with your doctor if you are concerned. He or she will possibly suggest doing what is called kick counts when you get a little farther along. There are several ways to keep track. Some women find drinking something cold will sometimes get baby to be a bit more active. Baby's position, the location of the placenta, baby's size, your size, amount of amniotic fluid at the time, as well as how far along you are can all play a role in how much you may or may not feel.
