And Another Movement Question!

I don't want to be crazy, but I have barely felt any movement the last few days. I can feel her moving once in a while, but it is so subtle and sporadic. I am 26w, and have been feeling the baby pretty consistently from about 19w. The kicks were much stronger before. I even just drank a big orange juice (fresh squeezed so super sweet) and nothing. I work in the city and my doctor is in Manhasset, so it is not so easy to just pop over. I don't want to ignore a problem, but I also don't want to be crazy.

Do you think I should call? Also, we two nights ago and I had very lght spotting after and the next morning. I didn't call my dr bc I know that is normal, but now I am driving myself crazy and wondering if everything is ok. Thanks!

I'd say if you're concerned, call.

I would call and see if they can get you in for a late appointment today even if you have to leave work early. It's better to have peace of mind instead of spending the weekend worrying.

I wouldn't worry too much though, there were definitely times in the mid-20's where I didn't have much movement and now this kid is acting like he wants to bust out through what was once my belly button.

Thanks. I don't think they have any evening appointments on Friday.

Glad to hear you had some periods where it slowed down too.

i agree, i would call just so you have peace of mind.

But... in the early 20's I definitely had days where he really didn't move that much and other days he was going crazy in there!.
have some OJ!

Re: And Another Movement Question!

Barely feeling any movement is not the same as not feeling any movement at all. Have you felt the baby at all?

You are supposed to feel more consistent movement after 28w, so you still are under that. It's possible you've just been busy or moving around a lot. When you're active you tend not to feel the baby - and you also lull the baby to sleep through the movements. Try sitting or lying down and having some sugar. That should perk the baby right up.
