Should I be worried?

Question

I’m 38+2 and for the past couple days my baby boy hasn’t been moving as much as he normally does. He was extremely active all times of the day, especially at night, but these past couple days he hasn’t been moving as much. I still feel him, but not nearly as often as I used to... is that something I should be worried about?

Answer

If you don’t feel baby as much - DO YOUR KICK COUNTS! Make sure you feel baby move 10 times in 2 hours. And focus on this closely. As long as that happens, my OB says baby is fine. Drink something cold AND sugary (real sugar) and lie down on your left side. You should get some good movement once you do that.

Answer

Ive been in for this last week. As soon as they put the monitor she went wild! It was because she had moved. And i wasnt used to feeling her there, shes always head down on my left hand side. She was still head down but at the back so all her movements felt limp. Hope this helps. But i did try drink, chocolate, laying on side, star jumps etc

Answer

No. But you should still tell your midwife or doctor. They will want to look into it.
I had this and went to the ER. Baby went wild as soon as the ultrasound started, so actually I was just wasting their time. Still they told me to ALWAYS come in with reduced movement. Gave me a lot of confidence.

Answer

I went to the hospital for this due to low fluid. Don’t sleep on it. My doc said any changes in movement should be monitored just in case
