how long to wait for fetal movement??

Question

I just realized I haven't felt baby move in couple hours. I went for a walk earlier don't remember any movement. I've had water. Juice. Laid down. No movement. I'm trying not to freak out. I have been having contractions but nothing near close to time worthy. Need advice plz

Answer

So baby has started to move now that I am hooked up. He has always hated being monitored even at appts he moves away when they try to get his heart rate lol but I am having contractions that they are picking up on monitor as well. They wanna monitor for a while to see what's going on but glad he has moved a little

Answer

My nurse said try putting music on the phone and put up to baby. For that doesn't work and it's been 2 hours I would call.

Answer

I spoke with my nurse today and she told me to count at least 5 kicks an hour , even with me starting contractions last night. I wouldn't freak out but I'd definitely try to see or speak to someone given that no one answered your call.

Answer

The rule I have used is 20 kicks per hour. It is rather concervative compared to the standard 10 per hour. I would eat a small snack, preferably something sweet and start counting. I would use it as a rule to go into the hospital.

Answer

check out kicks count website. u should know whats notmal for ur baby. counting how ever many kicks means nothing as not everyone baby does that. u need yo eat something and drink sugart cold stuff or like apple juice and lay on ur side for 2 hours and then count movemebts if its still not right for u then go ij x

Answer

This was me yesterday...I called the hospital and had them transfer me to L&D and then went in and got monitored for about an hour...babe was great and moving around but I'm glad I went in and made sure

Answer

I called doc office no one answered it just said leave a voicemail and they'd get back before end of day. That's like 5 hours. So I'm seriously debating going in

Answer

Can you call the L&D triage and speak to them?

Answer

How are things going are you and baby ok?

Answer

10 kicks in 2 hours is what they tell you and if you don't feel that you should definitely go in.
