Should I call my OB? Read description 👇

Question

I'll be 18 weeks tomorrow. This is my 3rd baby. Since 16 weeks I have consistently felt baby kicks, at least once every single day, usually multiple kicks a day.
For the last 3 days I haven't felt anything... not a single one. Even when I lay down and poke around I get nothing in return.
I'm starting to get worried. I don't have another OB appointment until August 21st. Should I call my OB and tell them or am I just overreacting? I haven't ever had a pause in movement this long in any pregnancy.

Answer

UPDATE: was waiting until this morning to call the OB but ended up feeling a few kicks and nudges in bed last night! All seems to be fine ❤

Answer

Give them a call, it will give you piece of mind so you don’t lose sleep worrying!

Answer

Happy to know everything is alright! Actually my doctor told me to count kicks only after 25 weeks or so? So at this time, even if you don’t feel kicks it’s fine, the baby has a lot of space to jump around and it doesn’t have to be aiming its kicks at your belly 😬😬😬

Answer

Drink come caffeine to see if that gets baby moving.

Answer

Any update?

Answer

I would call your dr and talk to them! Could be nothing. My mom drank caffeine regularly with me. One day later in pregnancy (3rd trimester) she didn’t feel me move all day she called her dr and he told her to drink OJ and I’ll be fine. Sure enough i started moving afterwards
