Baby movement...

If you felt movement around the same time every day but then had a day where movement was minimal would you call your doctor or wait a day to see if it picks up again.

Normally I feel this LO right after lunch and then he gets really active between 4-5 and then again around 9 at night. Today, I rarely felt him at lunch time, late afternoon was close to normal but again I haven't really felt much since getting home.

Am I just being paranoid? I have an appointment for the fetal echo on Thursday, would you just wait to see how tomorrow is and wait for Thursday or call your doctor tomorrow morning? I guess it's not like I haven't felt anything, just a lot less than normal...

Baby movement...

Not paranoid at all imo!! I was running around Saturday and doing a family party for Ds's 2nd bsquare and at the end of the night I realized I didn't feel the baby that much. I drank a glass of soda to see if I could jump start it a little!

Some times babies are more active then others, I would wait it out a little bit. If tomorrow is the same inactive movement I would put a call into your dr just to see what they want you to do.

Re: Baby movement...

I would wait. I'm also super paranoid and if I lay down on my side and start poking around I can normally get Chat Icon all riled up lol.. Some days I barely feel her at all. I just consider it a growing day.

Since you have fetal echo coming up, I'd definitely wait.

I am getting like that now. Did you try drinking orange juice and jumping around or coaxing the baby? Sometimes they're just being sleepyheads.

Baby finally woke up last night around 10:30 and then I felt him a little this morning at 6am... so he's like his mom and can't keep a schedule Chat Icon I also had a dream that DH and I were in an airportand some random brat kicked me in the stomach so I wonder if he was kicking me in my sleep Chat Icon or if I just had that dream because I was worried...

Re: Baby movement...

I would wait a day. It happens with me too...there will be a day where I don't feel Chat Icon at a time when I usually do but then the next day I feel the pattern of movements again. It could be the baby's position. I am not going to lie...I do get nervous also Chat Icon

As long as you feel movement I wouldn't worry. If after a day you feel like the movement has decreased a lot then call the doc, they can probably just have you come in to ease your mind Chat Icon

I have totally had days where he has not moved as much or missed a time where he is usually very active. Then he totally makes ups for it. As long as I get atleast one little punch or kick, he keeps me calm!

Re: Baby movement...

i was told if I felt like this to drink some juice. go somewhere quiet and lay down on my left side and to count for 10 kicks or any kind of movement within the hour. If i got atleast 10 movements then not to call. If i didn't to call.

Re: Baby movement...

I've found my baby is usually active during certain times of the day, but some days he's just sleepy or active at different times. Also, when I'm really active during the day, I tend to notice baby's movements less. But when I haven't felt well and spent 2 days on the couch, I was really cognizant of extra moves.

Unless you don't feel your baby at all, I wouldn't worry. Any movement is usually a good sign.
