Movement Question

Probably a silly question...

I went to the doc a week ago b/c she wasn't moving around as much, and thankfully all is well, and I went for my regular appt. yesterday and heartbeat was great and all. My doctor asked how her movements have been the last week, I said I feel her more now than when I got freaked out...he said to just make sure you feel 10 movements in an hour when you're counting.

Now, does that include 'bulges'? She's not much of a kicker, but I do feel movements and stuff, but lately, what I mostly feel is her leaning outward against my skin, making a bulge. I'll feel it in just 1 spot and she'll move, or I'll even feel 2 different bulges at the same time, like butt & head, etc.

I'm guessing they count, but just wanted to see what you say. Of course I forgot to ask him this yesterday.

Re: Movement Question

I believe it's any kind of movement, flutters, kicks, etc...

Re: Movement Question

I dont think I get 10 movements an hour...but maybe I am just not concentrating enough on counting. I am concerned my baby isnt' moving as much as it should. I am going ask at my next appt. Each time I go, the heartbeat is fine and I am measuring on target.

Movement is movement....and hiccups count to by the way!
