Worried about fetal movement?

Question

Should I be worried if I havent felt baby moving as much recently? I’m 32 weeks and she used to move like crazy all the time but now she doesnt. I read that just because baby is bigger and running out of room does not mean they will stop moving. All I ever feel is little presses here and there. A press on my side once in awhile and then it goes away but she never just moves amymore... Not sure if its something to be worried about or not. I’m a FTM i’m not trying to bug my doctors and go to ER for no reason..

Answer

Your doctor will tell you to go to Labor & Delivery. If you are worried about ANY fetal movements or lack there of, you need to go in and get checked out. Always. 
Don’t call. Just go to your hospital’s labor and delivery. Not to the ER. 
The baby doesn’t “run out of room”. 
You should be feeling at least 3-4 movements per hour or 10 every two hours. If you don’t feel at least that, then you need to go in.

Answer

I will be 35 weeks on Friday and some days my baby moves less than others and the next day or two I will feel her like crazy again! I think babies sometimes have lazy days in there like we all do! Lol

Answer

You should get 10 movements in 2 hours once a day, if you don't at any point if the day go get checked. My doctor told me to count the kicks at the babies most busiest time (should be the same daily) on the count the kicks app, then if anything ever changes when tracking daily to call the doctor right away.

Answer

It’s always best to go and get checked! 
If I feel like I’m worried about movement I drink some cold water, eat something with sugar and lie down. Also put your hand on the baby, because at this point some movements I don’t feel from the inside but can feel with my hand!

Answer

My guy takes a day off doing pretty much anything every other day. They usually have a sleep pattern by now, so that very well could be it. That being said, if your girl is usually very active and suddenly stops it might be worth the trip to L&D. I like to think better safe than sorry. Also try drinking a cold glass of water or OJ and lay on your left side for a while. Could just be she needs a little nudge from Mom.

Answer

I’m 34 weeks and some days my baby moves a lot and others not so much . Whenever I’m worried I drink something cold, Lay down on my left side and poke my belly a few times . I count her kicks and if I feel 10 within an hour or less I know she’s okay.

Answer

I think the bigger the baby gets, the less room he or she has to move around, so you might not feel such forceful movements.
