(Rant, kind of) I know my little girl..

And she is VERY lazy!
Her not moving for a day doesn't worry me atall.
However I keep getting asked "has she moved 10 times?!"
When I say no people say I should get her checked out
but she's NEVER moved 10 times in a day,
I can't possibley go down the hospital everyday.
If I know she's alright that's all that matters, right?
Obviously if she didn't move once in two days I'd get her checked out.
I know my baby better than anyone else I guess.

Bethanie was the same, she'd not move that much.. then some days she would be all over the place. It's nice that you are confident and laid back with your baby, but if you do get worried, don't hesitate in getting it checked out.

midwife told me that you should start counting 10 movements fom 28wks. when i was 26wks i hadent felt any movement for 4 days and i got checked out and everything was fine the mw said between 24-28wks they go through a quiet period and still have alot of room to 'hide'.

yes i suppose you know her best, but then if it's your first baby you might not fully know what to expect.

I think you're doing right to not panic excessively, but do also listen to advice of those who're more experienced. Just in case!

Mine is the same. He can go for at least a day of hardly moving. I might feel a little wiggle but that will be it. Then other days he's really active.

My little girl is exactly the same and some days all i feel is maybe one or two wriggles. Compared to my other 3 this little one just loves her sleep. Takes after her Daddy is all i reckon lol

My Peanut is the same. She'll move like crazy for a day and then the next 2-3 she'll be quiet and only move a teeny bit. You're not supposed to start kick counts until 28wks anyway!
