When should I be worried about less movement?

Question

Last night and today baby has moved a LOT less than normal. He’s still moving, but its like 1-2 kicks here and there, when my kick counts were at 15-20 kicks an hour just a few days ago. I’m 29w3d. Should I call my doctor, or just wait a little longer since he’s still kicking?

Answer

I feel the same way. I went in to my Dr and the heartbeat was strong. I have an anterior placenta and apparently that can still block movements. I've been doing kick counts so trying not to worry as long as those are ok. Never hesitate to call your doctor if you have concerns.

I’m in the same boat but I have an appt Friday so im not going to freak out yet. I’ve read that it’s normal around 28-30 weeks to feel less movement because they have less room and are in a different sleep/wake cycle. But! It wouldn’t hurt to call labor and delivery. They might have you come In and monitor the baby for a few hours. They will probably first suggest you drink something cold and lay on your left side or back. Give it about 30 min and then see if any of the movement increases. Feeling any movement is better than nothing :) I’m sure everything is fine !

Answer

I had this happen to me a week ago! Usually baby is super active but one day she just wasn’t, and wasn’t meeting kick counts. They had me to go L&D for a non stress test and everything was fine! She was just having a lazy day. My obgyn said it’s better to be safe and than sorry. I would go ahead and give them a call
