I'm worried...

[x__amour]

I don't want to jump to any conclusions or stress myself out but I haven't felt my LO since this morning... And even this morning it was weak and only a couple times. I haven't felt her since then... She is such a little fishy and is constantly moving and I... I just don't want anything happening to her, you know? Do I call the hospital or just keep it cool? I know you're supposed to lay down and count how many kicks, which is usually supposed to be at least 10x per hour and she just hasn't kicked at all... What should I do? :/

My doctor told me babies can have their chill days where they really won't be active at all and others where they are moving constantly.

I personally would just wait till tomorrow to see if anything changes. But of course you could call your doctor to be on the safe side, can never be too careful!

my baby girl did that too.
my doctor told me to go to the most relaxing place in your house.
Drink some juice with ice in it and relax
if you dont feel 6 movements in 2 hours then call the Mat ward.
But dont worry baby could just be farther back or having a lazy day.

My midwife said not to worry about regular movements, at all, until 28 weeks. As long as you don't go days without feeling movement, I was told not to worry.

I'd drink some juice or something else sugary and lay down for a bit, completely relaxed. You should feel at least a little something, and feeling -something- from them means they're fine!

If you still feel really uneasy about it, just call your OB/MW and tell them everything. They'll tell you if it's normal or not. At least then you aren't guessing, and it should probably put your mind at ease.

If you're worrying, then call your MW as she'll be able to put your mind at ease

but try not to worry too much about it as my LO had days where he/she would hardly move at all x

If you're worried call them, they can reassure you and possibly get you in to check bubs heartbeat xxx

hey sweetie, dont worry im sure everything will be fine, baby may be laying towards your back.
Must be different from the UK because we're told 10 kicks every 12 hours before its anything to worry about, after 28 weeks.
but if you are worried call your MW just to reassure yourself, its what theyre there for xx

personally if it was me i would rather go and get it checked out than sit and stress myself out

Thanks everyone for your great advice
She's kicking a little more now. Maybe she was just tired or towards the back.
But I'll bring it up at my next appointment.
Thanks again!
