Lack of baby kicks

shelby

Does anybody else freak out when their LO just doesn't move??

I may or may not have spent the whole night last night and whole morning worrying sick about mine.

I am 37+5 and he is a SUPER ACTIVE baby!

Last night I got home and couldnt remember the last time I felt him move. I could feel his body in its usual spot but he just wasnt moving. I stayed awake as long as I could trying to get a good kick count but I only felt him 2 times. That was enough to ease my mind enough not to call labor and delivery.

Then in the morning he usually will wake up and go crazy when I get up and use the bathroom. Nothing happened. Then I poked and played with a flashlight. Nothing. Then ice cold water, nothing. Then coffee. . . nothing.

Everything that usually gets him did NOTHING. So I told my husband if i didn't feel anything before leaving for work I was going in. As I finished that sentence he moved one time. I could breath.

But then as the next hour passed, more nothingness.

So I called my Drs office. But she and her nurse are not in yet. So I left a message for them with the front desk lady.

***He has kicked ever since. ***

Was I overreacting???? I'm so not used to this mommy panicky heart of mine!
