Baby movements... not feeling them?

Question

I’m 21 weeks and over the weekend the baby was very active. On Sunday I felt her a couple times almost every hour, but I had a very lazy day that day. Now during the week where I’m moving a lot (I’m a waitress) I don’t feel her that much. Is it normal? It gets me worried...

Answer

It’s normal not to feel consistent movements that early on... my midwife recommended doing kick counts no sooner than 26 weeks, and most Obs don’t recommend doing them until 28 weeks. 
Baby doesn’t have an established schedule that early, but if you’re feeling uneasy at all you can always call your care provider to see if they will do a check to easy your mind.

Answer

Hello. This needs urgent attention. It could be nothing but it can mean there is an issue. You need to call your hospital as soon as you notice that your baby isn’t moving as much and you have tried getting them moving. I would go straight to hospital now and call them on the way so they know to expect you. I hope all is ok :) x
