Silly question...but need reassurance
The past two days baby has been moving around a lot less. Last week he was bumping and bouncing in there like crazy and now I am only feeling the occasional kick. That's normal right? They go through periods where they move less and move more? After our rough start, everything makes me a little paranoid!
Re: Silly question...but need reassurance
OMG I can't believe how far along you are!!! How is everything going?
I don't know the answer to your question, but I think that as long as you are feeling some movement everything is ok. Of course, there is no harm in calling your doc if you are worried.
Totally normal. I would go through days when I didn't feel anthing all day long until I lied down to go to bed.
Just have a snack or a drink, have a rest and the baby should get excited and start moving around in there.
It can be normal for sure.
DD didn't move much. ever. Sometimes I had to really concentrate to get the kick count in for the day.
I had 2 non-stress tests because she scared me so much. She just wasn't a wriggler (turns out, it's because she was folded like a pretzel inside of me - her feet were locked into a position so she only moved her knees and arms!)
Whenever I was worried I would drink a giant glass of Juice or eat a bag of Skittles and wait a few minutes. ?She would usually kick a few times. ?I never really felt her move a lot especially once she started losing space. ?My GP told me to lie down and rest for an hour. ?Make sure she kicked 5 times in that hour. ?If not eat something sweet and try again. ?If not after two hours call my OB. ?Never had to make that phone call.??
