Can I relate to anyone?

Question

My baby is just not a active baby. And it scares me every day he will go a few hours a day without moving.
Mostly I get his kicks in the evening. How am I suppose to do my kick counts if I have a mellow baby that will go hours with our kicking? When should I be worried? I have a Doppler he has a strong heart beat everyday. I just don't know what's normal. Also I'm 30 weeks.

Answer

Some babies are just more laid back than others.

Answer

As long as you feel kicks throughout the day and there's no drastic change, you should be okay. If you're really concerned drink something super cold or sweet (like lemonade).

Answer

I had a non stress test a few days ago he was just fine. I thought I was suppose to be feeling him 10 times an hour but he never does that during the day so how do I do kick counts then? Is it just 10 movements a day is good?

Answer

Do you have an anterior placenta? I just found out that I do and that's why I don't feel as much movement!

Answer

You want to count 10 kicks/movements over a 2hr period each day. During the time of day when baby is most active have a nice cold glass of water, relax and count.

Answer

My son is the same he doesn't start kicking until like 5 pm and even then it's not 10 an hiur
