When to call doctor

Question

I’ve been feeling movement pretty regularly the past few weeks and the past few days it’s decreased quite a bit. 24 weeks with an anterior placenta. Today I really haven’t felt baby move at all, I’ve eaten, poked, and I’m currently in the bath to see if that helps at all. I have an appointment on Thursday so I really don’t want to call if I don’t have to, but it’s really stressing me out. If I do call, what should I say?

Answer

That's still early enough that it's movements aren't as noticable unless you pay attention because it still has room

Answer

Usually 3rd trimester is when they recommend kick counts, just because baby is still small at this point and esp with an anterior placenta, you might not feel the activity as much. 
That being said, I’m the biggest advocate for “trust your gut”. If you feel something is off, call tour doctor! That’s what they’re there for!

Answer

They don’t typically start NST until 28 weeks for kick counts etc because it’s very hard to get a 24 week baby on a monitor and consistently . They will most likely have u come in and do a Doppler check for heart rate . But again they don’t do kick counts until 28 weeks because at best 24 weeks is unreliable
