Decreased movement?

Question

Im 20w1d (FTM) and  have been feeling my girl since 16 weeks and especially strong since 18wks. Today she has been very quiet, just a few little movements as opposed to her usual active self. I've even tried my tricks of drinking something sweet and laying down.  Should I be concerned and call my Dr? Or is she just having a quiet day?

Answer

I mean I really wouldn't worry baby will be really active then won't be as active the next day for me. I'm 20+1 day but only around 28 weeks is when you should start counting baby's kicks and making sure baby is quite active.Other then that baby is still very active but most you won't even feel. If you get nervous due talk to your doctor. I been feeling mine since she was 14 weeks. A  trick I use is to drink something cold maybe a sip of soda or tea or even cold water and lay on your left side and relax for a min. You will be able to feel baby:) but don't worry mama everything will is fine.

Answer

My doctor said consistent movement doesn't occur until about 28 weeks, so I wouldn't worry. My little guy has mellow days too.

Answer

Don't worry about movement until 28 weeks. I just talked to my doctor about that yesterday. Right now it's too early for you to feel everything. They may still be moving just not enough for you to feel a lot of it.

Answer

I posted the same thing a few days ago. Nobody responded. I'm still curious. He was really quiet for 2 days with light kicks. Normally he goes crazy all day & night long. I have been feeling him since 14 weeks & I'm 22 weeks now. But he's Is deffinetly going back into his active phase since yesterday which makes me feel like he was just having some lazy days.

Answer

I have read that they go quiet whilst they are going through a growth spurt. My baby went quiet at 20 weeks but is fully active again now at 22+5! Hope this helps 😃

Answer

Baby sleeps 12-14 hours a day at this point, usually soothed to sleep by your movements throughout the day, so it's not uncommon for there to be still periods. Especially if you are out and about or working. I wouldn't worry too much. Start counting kicks at 28 weeks. Baby tends to be more active when you are still or laying down for longer periods of time.

Answer

I wouldn't worry too much. My baby is always super active, but I have days when I barely feel her at all. Haven't been feeling her too much lately and it's because she's moved into the transverse position, where as before, she was breech, and I felt her all the time.

Answer

My dr told me that it is okay if I don't feel baby daily until 24 weeks. She said I could go a week without feeling anything. If you a re concerned please contact your dr

Answer

Thanks ladies, I feel better ☺️ I'm sure she's just having a lazy day !
