Anyone who can help... I dont want to call the DR for no reason!!
I am 30 weeks on Wednesdsay...
Here is what is happening that has me concerned:
I usually feel her move a lot.. last night into today, I do not feel her as much. Also, the top right and left parts of my abdomen/uterus keeps tightening and its so painful it stops me in my tracks!!!! Its usually when I am walking.. or standing.. they arent consistent, or anything, but every now and again I get the pain and its awful!!!
I am guessing they are braxton hicks. but I dont know... is it too early? should I worry? I am going to the dr on Thursday.. is it okay to wait?
Thanks.. any advice is appreciated...

My peanut always responds to sugar. When I eat it he moves around a bunch. Is there anything you can eat to get him to respond?

Tightening sounds like Braxton Hicks to me, so that's normal. And decreased movement as you get farther along is normal as well...the baby has less room to move around. If you want to jumpstart her, try chugging some OJ or something else sweet and lay down...I'm sure she'll perk up!

I would call the doctor... it may be nothing but my nurse just told me today that the way to tell the difference between braxton and real contractions is that real contractions are painful whereas braxtons usually tighten and release without all that pain.

There are some days when i only feel the baby once or twice, just when i think to myself- oh crap i didnt feel the baby move today- it wiggles. So if you are still feeling, thats good. As far as tightening- if its consistant id call the dr. Just start keeping track.
If ever you have a concern, always call the Dr. Its better to have your mind at ease, than to worry all the time.

I agree, APPLE JUICE usually makes my little guy do jumping jacks!!

Those sound like BH. I get them constantly too. Try drinking TONS of water & laying down for a little bit. That ususally helps. I find I get more of them when I've been doing too much activity.
