I just did a kick count and got 1 in 3 minutes. Last time I did one, I got 7 in a minute and a half.

Babies sleep 20-40 minutes at a time now. Doing a kick count for just 3 minutes is insufficient for accuracy (though I do them for about 15 minutes and if baby is moving a lot I stop) and certainly nothing to worry about! 10 kicks in 2 hrs is what my OB said!!!

Baby is quiet here today, too. I just ate some chocolate to see if it kick starts him! I he pressure where he is laying against me but no punches.

I'm excited for my internal next week to find out where I am!! Yesterday I was driving home from work and had some really sharp pains in my lady parts. When I got home I noticed in the mirror that my bump was way lower. He's been sitting lower anyways but yesterday was crazy!

I found this website that might help!

It could be that baby is just having a bit of a growth spurt and some down time. After a couple of hours though if you haven't met the kick count requirements, I would give the doctor a ring and have them check things out. Try and take it easy.

Baby is always very active all morning and today, nothing. I've gotten maybe 3 or 4 thumps since I woke up this morning and that's not normal. I tried chocolate, cold water, laying on my side... I called my Dr. and he is sending me in to be monitored. I asked about the cramps and he said that sounds pretty normal, but he's concerned about the sudden decrease in movement.

Well definitely keep us informed! Hoping everything is ok!!

My baby has been super active this morning. She woke me up so I'd eat some breakfast by kicking me in the ribs and elbowing my hip.

Its very common for them to get less active now. They are running out of room. 10 kicks in an hour during an active time of the day for the baby is what I heard is what to look for, but honestly, if you are feeling them move even less then that, but still feeling them move, you still don't really have anything to worry about.

Yes, please let us know! My doctor said any major deviation from the norm is a reason to call!!! Hope it's just a growth spurt and a lazy day!

These babies are going to make our hair grey before they even come.

Hope everything is ok ducky, my midwife says anything that's not a normal pattern for you should be looked into, so I would have been concerned too.

Had my dr apt today. Baby is head down and internals started as well and my cervix is med n soft!

Hi ladies.

Hope everyone is ok?

Blossom - yippee! Great news!

Melly - not sure on Friday, will know more once have seen consultant but I'm working on the basis that I am any joy with your son's party?

Well today I thought thinks were happening! The pain was intense and the pressure so ended up thinking baby had turned. Had a listen this afternoon once home and nope he is definitely still high up. Heart beat is about 2/3 up from my belly button towards boobs. Wonder if he turned and then turned back. Guessing he doesn't like it down that end x

 

[ARuppe716]

Ducky- I hope all is ok!!

I had some chocolate and chugged some water and now little guy is having a field day. Apparently he just wasn't in the mood to be a morning person today! But I hate when he gets quiet... Can't help but be nervous.

 

[mellywelly]

Party wise, I think we have about 7 now if I can change it to the Saturday, just a pity it has to be so late, but there are so many kids having free tennis lessons, I have no choice. Will go straight there after my scan tomorrow and keep my fingers crossed! I think 7 kids plus the birthday boy is quite enough for bowling anyway!

 

[Soniamillie01]

Yea that's a good number, fingers crossed the venue are ok with the day change,
I am sure they will be x

 

[jrowenj]

oh, thank goodness!!! They could tell the position of the baby by the internal?

 

[Soniamillie01]

Ladies in the UK - most NHS hospitals don't offers the strep b test, are you having one privately? I've ordered a kit online and wanted to know what others were doing x

Melly, it's not that hard to check your own cervix! Since I check cervixes all day at work it's a bit easier for me but I found a site to explain it.
