When should you worry

Question

So I'm hoping some of you girls can ease my worries. I'm almost 33 weeks and I still feel my baby throughout the day but I get in my head that it feels like decreased movement... Like three days ago was a really active day and since then I feel her but they are light movements and not as frequent as that one day so I sit here just getting more worried but okay so what I should call the on call doctor and go in l&d? I've already been in there twice because I worry and I feel dumb like oh here's that girl that comes in here all the time and worries... So I'm basically asking do you other pregnant moms notice these decreases in movement?

Answer

Make sure you count "kicks" (movement). Choose a time when baby is most active and see how long it takes for you to feel 10 movements. As long as you feel 10 movements within 2 hours, you should be fine. Of course, you should call your doctor anytime you're concerned about baby's health. Better to be safe than sorry. Good luck hun!

When they thought I was going into preterm labor, they gave me this...hope it helps. Not everyone is the same but it's worth trying.

Answer

I'm with you too. I worry myself too much. Like you said it seems like some days are really really active all day long and there will be a day I hardly feel anything. I just feel like any other human our babies have days of "laziness" and more active days too lol. I haven't been to the doctor when I feel less movement though. Currently I am 33 weeks and 2 days. But all in all don't worry I know easier said than done even for me

Answer

Keep kick count like everyone said. Depending on what you eat, what you do and how you feel, can determine their movement. Also if you're super busy you really might not feel it as much during the day. Or if they've hanged positions it could get lighter. Drink apple juice or orange juice then go lay down and count the baby's movements. My baby likes to kick at a flashlight if I put it on my stomach lol

Answer

You're baby is growing so her/his room is getting smaller, she/he doesn't have much room to move anymore. She/he should be okay.

Answer

Yeah I know that's what I tell myself. I hate all the websites that say if you notice "any" decrease in movement go get checked. . Um ok so I'd be going in there to get checked like every other day. It's like I feel like she's okay but what if because I'm so afraid to look like a dumb worry wart I don't go in and something happens to her.
