movement?

[mom2be2010Gem]

Hiya girls, I need ur help!?

I am 26 weeks and 3days. I have felt the baby move but she isnt moving a lot, eg: kicking as much over the last 3 days. I really dont no what to do, i am a little worried. Do i call the hospital and ask them about the movemments?

Thanks Gemma xx

Do you have a doppler you can use at home? if so use that for peace of mind but you could always call your mw and ask for a reassurance scan just to put your mind at ease.

I would go to the hospital if I had reduced movements. My baby has quiet days though, I only feel him/ her a few times a day and sometimes movements are hard and other days its just a tapping.
But in a few weeks when the movements pick up pace and I start to see a more regular pattern I would go to the hospital if movements were obviously reduced. Everyone worries in different ways so its entirely your decision to go to the hospital or not - Im a worrier so I would!!! x

hi, Thanks for the replys.

I didnt call the hospital, as the baby started moving like before. I think when i'm at work all day on my feet i dont notice her move as much. I will keep an eye on her movements, got midwife on monday 28th, so will ask her what she thinks. I also find if i drink a lot of water i can feel her move better.

they say count the kicks... if your experiencing less then 10 a day... then u need to call

I would say i get around 10/15 movements a day. i will keep an eye and see how things go. seem ok today. x

When I am active, cleaning the house and on my feet he doesn't really move at all, I'm pretty sure that the movement puts them to sleep

Glad your feeling better and bubs decided to have a little play

I was the same last week, i normally have LO kicking me all day everyday, and the day we put the cot up i didn't feel her all day and then we went out for a meal where i had a bit of travel sickness and i didn't feel her in the evening. I got a bit worried but once i'd relaxed and lay down for about an hour/2 she started kicking! I think because i was active all day i just didnt feel her moving, or i wore her little bum out bouncing her around all day while i was on my feet! Take advantage and rest as much as you can hehe

I'd always call the doc with questions, but if it's been a few days I would call. Not that there is anything wrong, but because it may give you peace of mind.

They say drinking cold milk or a cold sweet drink, or eating a snack then relaxing, can help you feel baby move. My friend who is a lot further along always eats an ice lolly if she wants to check bubba is ok in there - always makes him fidget!
