Anyone else feeling less movement?

Question

18 weeks here and I’ve felt consistent, strong baby movements since 15 weeks. All of a sudden they just stopped completely. It’s been 3 days without any movements. I’m not too worried about it since it’s still early but just curious if anyone has experienced this.

Answer

Medically speaking if you've had no movement in 3 days you should be assessed to be safe. Likely baby is being lazy but still better safe then sorry. Drink a ice cold sugery drink such as lucozade lay on your left side and you should feel movements.

Answer

Call your Dr just to be sure. With my 2 yr old my placenta was in the front so I struggled feeling her until I was well into my pregnancy and she was a decent size. Even then it wasn't as much as my other children. But honestly a call to your Dr is best...they are the professionals and will be able to give you solid advice.

Answer

I did. I started feeling consistent movements around week 18 and then around week 23 it sort of stopped for a big. I’m almost 26 weeks now and baby boy is right back at it! Healthy as can be. 
I have heard that until you are closer to week 28, movements tend to be much more inconsistent. 
I also know some people get the home fetal heart rate monitors to be able to check on their baby.

Answer

Hey girl. I absolutely did. I’m almost 25 weeks now. But from 15-21 weeks I’d go in spurts. Sometimes he’d wake me up kicking and other days I think either he 1. Was being a turd 2. Hiding away since there’s room for them to do that or 3. He’d have a lazy day.  I was told that you can’t stress about it until 28 weeks but EASIER SAID THAN DONE!! I am starting to notice a pattern now that I’m further along. I wouldn’t worry but.. what worked for me personally was about 6oz of OJ and laying down on my left side. Then he woke up!
