Fetal movements?

Question

I've had to do movement checks twice today because I haven't felt the baby much. She's still moving but the movements are so little. Does it matter? I'm using to being able to notice her movements way more and it's making me nervous that she's so subdued.

Answer

It never hurts to error on the side of caution and call your dr or go to L&D to get checked out. When I had my OB appointment on 4/20 I mentioned a slight change in movement and that set off alarm bells in my OBs head. She said one of the most common things that women notice the week before a stillbirth is decreased movement, so it’s something drs take very seriously. Ultimately that was the big yellow flag that had my dr send me to L&D to move my planned c-section up a week early. I can’t tell you the relief I have now knowing that she’s outside and safe because I shudder to think how things could have gone so differently if I hadn’t mentioned her decreased movement! Most likely everything is fine, but I wouldn’t take any risks this late in the game. Good luck!❤️

Answer

Any decrease in movement should be checked out just be safe ❤️
Did you try eating something sweet or drinking something cold?
