decreased movement???

Question

okay so I will be 36 weeks on tuesday and the last few days I have noticed a decrease in movement. normally my little guy is very active. when I was around 28 weeks i called because I was having decrease in movement and was told I was fine and didn't need to come in. so I guess I'm not sure if it's normally or if I should go in to get it checked out. what do you all think? I also have a doctor appt with ob on Tuesday.

Answer

any change in baby's movements means a call to the OBGYN or a visit to labor and delivery it's better to go and have nothing wrong then to not go and have the baby not make it

Answer

Decreased movement is still a concern even if it is still moving! Get yourself checked. My son was still moving but decreased, when I was checked he was out 20 minutes later by emergency section as he had the cord round his neck 3 times and was not only choking himself but starving himself because the cord was so squished. He was born 4lb 7 at 37 +5  and is now a healthy 6 year old. I don't mean to scare you but this is the whole point in going in! He never ever stopped moving, but his movements changed

Answer

sit or lay down after you eat or drink, could your movements , you should have 5 within the hour . if you have 10 that’s awesome if not go in and get checked . i’m high risk (baby has a heart defect) and i have a sheet they gave me to count kicks daily and those are the instructions! hope everything works out !

Answer

😬 I would go in & ask to be checked. I’ll have to take a pic next time but at my hospital they have a poster that basically says if you have decreased movement to come in immediately for further testing. Have you tried drinking something cold or sweet, laying down on your left side and waited to feel any movement?

Answer

If you’re worried get checked out hun, nobody knows your baby better than you do! Any decrease in movement should be reported to your healthcare provider/midwife
