When do you worry?

Question

I’m 30 weeks today with #2 and let me start by saying these pregnancies are WILDLY different.
The pregnancy insomnia hit recently so the last 4 days I’ve barely slept at all. Yesterday i was in pain all day, and it wasn’t contractions really, maybe mild ones. I was just achy and sore very uncomfortable with back aches and the baby’s movements were hurting me, I mean tear-producing kicks. I thought he was going to rip my stomach open and the spot he kept kicking at so hard is sore and feels bruised from the inside today. 
I finally took Benadryl last night because I was so tired and I just needed a good nights sleep to regroup. Today, he’s moving but not as much as usual. Would you worry?

Answer

As long as you’re getting your 10 kicks I wouldn’t be too concerned. My little miss is being a bit on the quieter side today as well. It makes me nervous but I try to just focus on the fact that I’m still noticing her movements every hour even if they’re not a abrupt as normal.

Answer

I take chlorpheniramine and it doesn't affect my baby but helps me sleep. There are several safe antihistamines to try, so you could try a different one to see if it works better.

Answer

I've noticed my baby doesn't move as much after benadryl. Since medicine goes through the placenta, I assumed it made him sleepy. He was back to normal the next day. I never asked my doctor about it, so maybe calling would be more helpful.

Answer

I’d try some cold water or something to eat he Iikes to make him more active. Maybe he’s sleepy from the Benadryl too? If that doesn’t make him more alert I’d call just to ease your mind:)
