No Fetal Movement freak out

A

I felt (what I thought) was no fetal movement for 48 hours (with the exception of fetal hiccups- which I was told don’t count) so was advised to go in and get monitored for a bit. All is well. And I am SO happy we went in because now I know what movements to feel for- over the last couple days his movements have transitioned from surface level jerky kicks to now deep stretches deep inside. When I was hooked up to the monitors I could HEAR his movements and correlate that with the feeling I was getting...if that makes any sense. 😆 i was told if I’m having any less than 10 per 2 hour period, per day, to go back in. Set aside some time after a meal and just lay there and count movements. The name “kick count” was misleading too- it’s not “kicks” I’m counting, just any movement! What a relief.
