Baby isn’t moving like he has been?

Question

Is it normal for a baby to just have an off day and move as much as he normally does? Or should I be going to doctor ASAP? 
I’m 28 weeks 2 days. I can get him to move a little with light or if I shake my belly for awhile. But I’m not getting the kicks I was getting ALL of the time. He would kick around for a solid half an hour or so and then nap for an hour or two and kick around for another half an hour and then sleep again. That isn’t what is happening now. 
Advise please! I am a very worried mama!

Answer

Go get it checked. My midwife constantly tells me to call her if baby stops moving like they usually do. Your always better getting it checked.

Answer

Any reduced movement hun you should contact your midwife , try drinking a really cold drink and laying on your left side of a while works for me x

Answer

Yes it’s normal but a back of movement should always be investigated as it’s one of the only ways of telling when something is wrong. Always call your midwife/doctor any time of the day or night if you are worried that your baby is not movement much. They will check if everything is ok. Never ignore reduced movement or put off calling your healthcare provider :) x

Answer

When i went to the hospital for this they told me if I wasnt feeling baby kick to lay on my left side for 1 hr and go to the hospital if i still didn't feel movement.
Chewing on ice always got my baby moving a ton.

Answer

Thanks ladies! Everything is okay with baby he just had an off day. The doctor on call me said he is probably just going through a growth spurt and needed extra rest.

Answer

My midwife wants to know about any reduction in movement. I’d call.

Answer

Reduced movement should be brought up to your OB/midwife.

Answer

10 movements withon 2 hours is what you need to look for. Tell doctor about decreased movement they will check.

Answer

Always get reduced movement checked out...better safe than sorry.

Answer

I was advices to check for movement if I was worried. Lie down, poke belly, drink something cold and then baby should move. If that's the case, you are probably fine.
But, if you feel like something is off, call in an hear when they would want to check you. Like basically a when to worry kinda call. I'm sure they'll be happy to check if you need that.
You know yourself and baby the best.
I will say that I've had several days of less movement when being extremely tired, feeling ill or stressed. And baby is fine so far 😊
