I dont feel her move at all when I am at work and yesterday that started to worry me, but I laid down, had a Popsicle, and felt her move again.

I am 34 weeks (just about). I know that the movements can slow down or not be as intense. I asked my OBGYN and she said as long as I can lay down, relax, and feel some movement then the baby is ok. I just still get worried after what happened to my mother and dont know what is instincts and what is paranoia.

So sorry for your mums loss.
I think while you're at work you're probably rocking baby to sleep with your movement. I think as long as when you do stop and rest that you feel baby you'd be ok. But, honestly if you're worried ever then ring your doctor xx

If you are having less movements then yes you should be seen, remember your health care providers are there to provide reassurance.

I am so sorry for your Mum's loss, and for your anxiousness. I think being busy means she may be moving but you are just too busy to feel her. I ust want to point out that at no pont in pregnancy should your baby's movements slow down, you should be getting as many as you were before whether you are 28 weeks, 31 weeks, 35 weeks, 39 weeks or 42 weeks. The movements will feel different at different points, later on they may feel lie nudges rather than kicks but they should always be pronounced, strong movements as regular as ever

All day i have been wondering "is he in there"
I can feel him hick-up,
and every once in a while i will feel a weird bump...

he is usually VERY active.
I am 30 weeks today, and can always see him make my belly move.

I tried water (lots of it) laying on my side, eating sweets, drinking juice, Everything.

I finally felt him move a little more.. but not much, felt like he was knocking on my cervix.

i phoned my mother, asking her what i should do, she told me to calm down..

everyone thinks i just worry...
maybe i do, but if something isnt right i need to be seen!

i woke up feeling VERY sick, sore throat, weak body.
Im wondering if the two are related.

i would drive myself to L&D but dont have my own car

...
it makes me feel so useless,

I did phone labor and delivery, they said i should be seen by a doctor...
unfortunately i am in the process of switching doctors- i feel like i have no one taking care of us! its not a nice feeling!

at 30 weeks, I had a few days where i felt very little movement if any... My rule of thumb though, if ur worried, or even consider being concerned, call. Better safe than sorry.

zbaby you really need to be seen, by anyone even if it means going to a ER/A&E.

zBaby · Apr 12th, 2012, 10:27 AM

This morning he seems to be moving around more.

I find it so hard to get the balance between being paranoid and listening to my body!

Our LO has a bit of a pattern but id not set my watch by him! some mornings he gets up at 4/5 am and will wake me- others he wont! only thing that is consistent is i should feel him between 9-11pm. i wouldnt call him a very active baby but will move every day. sometimes he has a mad day (like thursday after my US) and then he needs a dya or two of quiet time to rest! during the quiet time he does still move.

he reminds me a lot of DH who could sleep for 24 hrs straight if left to do it but get him started and he works hard, LO is same- lazy days and mad days!

sorry for the ramble- not really making much point other than i find it hard to monitor!

did worry about him today as didnt feel him for ages but i was on a long walk- had a good few kick since ive come home tho! xxx
