question re: movement

so at my appt monday it was noticed that my fluid levels are on the low side of normal so i get another sono this coming monday...however, my doctor was like be watchful of how much you feel the baby move, etc...

well tuesday she didn't move around too too much (but for some reason she is always quiet on tuesdays) - i got worried in the middle of the night, drank OJ and then she totally was awake and moving all over the place and was very active the rest of the day, well now today she isn't moving around as much (no kicks to the ribs today)...

so when do you worry...like tomorrow if she's not active two days in a row? because she does have her quiet days but is never quiet two days in a row...

Am i just over thinking this? Thanks! BTW i am just shy of 37 weeks

**update - I think baby girl was just messing with me because since i posted this and was "worried" she's kicked me in the ribs several times **

Re: question re: movement

Why don't you try drinking more OJ or something really cold? If you are worried, please call your doctor.

Re: question re: movement

I would only worry if I felt no movement. has some veyr active days and other days he/she is very lazy. One day I didn't feel anything so I used my heart monitor to make sure everything was ok. The HB sounded fine and he/she moved around a little later that evening. I think they all have busier days than others. But if you are worried, call your doc to put your mind at ease.

Re: question re: movement

I would call your dr, I wasn't feeling the baby move too much this past weekend, and they brought me in when I called, and at 6 1/2 months they said it wasn't much concern, but at 8-9 months low movement could mean that the placenta is starting to fail, and they're conserving energy because they're not getting enough blood flow and oxygen. So I would definitely call this late in the game.
