Movement at 24 weeks?

Question

Ive been feeling the baby move for a while now hes usually very active and strong "kicks"...yesterday i didnt feel him as much and now today i havent felt him at all yet and i was wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Is it normal? Should i worry? Im already worried but any advice helps. He was totally healthy at my anatomy scan at 21 weeks.

Answer

Babies have lazy days (or a few in a row). My little girl didn't do much moving for almost a week, but she gave me little flutters every now and then. I knew for sure everything was ok when she kicked me hard in the belly button and then settled back down for another 12 hours.

They sleep up to 16 hours a day so chances are LO is moving while you're sleeping or walking and you haven't recognized it.

Drinking something sweet usually kick starts my Ellie-belly moving (or holding my pee, then she kills my bladder with some kicks.)

Answer

Yes it's normal at this point still to have days he doesn't seem to move. He's tiny. And depending on the way he's positioned, it might seem like ur not feeling him...also they do sleep alot.

Answer

Try going to a dark quiet room and lay on your left side. After relaxing he should start moving around. My lil man changed positions this week and I have been feeling less kicks than normal so I do this and I can usually feel some movement to ease my fear!

Answer

It does happen. Eat or drink something cold/sweet. That should get them moving. If not, I would call your doctor.

Answer

I went through the same thing. Sometimes they just change their patterns. In addition to sweet and cold foods, try some activity. Jumping jacks, push-ups, jog in place. My little one usually starts to move after i move her around myself. I'm sure you are totally fine, these little babes are just on their own schedule :)

Answer

If you haven't felt him at all today, maybe you should call your doctor. I don't want to freak you out, but I've been feeling mine continuously since I woke up around 3 hours ago. I got a nudge first thing. She is particularly active when I eat and right after I pee. I'm 24+5. Obviously pregnancy isn't universal but if it's been a few hours, and you've tried eating, it might be worth checking out.

Answer

Try to find patterns when he moves the most. Like I know during the day I don't feel my girl too much because I'm constantly on the go. But I feel her at around 9am until around 11. 
Then I feel her again at 9pm until well she doesn't really stop keeps me up all night. I'm 26 weeks :) if you still aren't feeling movement when you know his pattern is I'd call the ob.
