Just give it a day, then go to see your doctor if it is still not moving. As long as the heart is beating, all is fine, but the doctor can do an ultrasound and get the worry out of you.
Probably it is just tired - and also, remember that it moves less as it grows, because there is less and less space in there... hehe.
Good luck and enjoy! its all fun (except for the loads of upcoming work.... )

It's possible he's kicking around at night when you're asleep. Maybe you're sleeping right through it.
Also, maybe you've done something that's keeping you very calm which is keeping him very laid back. Maybe you've cut out caffeine or are watching less TV or you're doing Pilates instead of aerobic exercise?
If you're very, VERY concerned, you should have an ultrasound done. Your midwife can run one.
Don't start worrying! You could eat a big dose of chocolate or other sweets (a milkshake-YUM!) which might get him really stirred up! He's moving, just not hard enough for you to feel it!
G-d bless you both!! You're doing great! Three months to go!!!

I would do a "kick check" Eat something sugary, and lie on your back. If you dont feel 10 kicks in an hour, see your OB for an utasound. At 6 months, you should be feeling that little guy all the time. Good Luck!

Sometimes the baby gets quieter & or changes when they r more awake. If this is now during the day then maybe u r so busy u haven't noticed the acivity during the day?
Don't EVER feel foolish about worrying about this! Try to notice if the active time is now during the day. If you are still concerned...after a day or so...go back in and have it checked again. "Moms" all too often know best
Maybe they need to do a stress or non-stress test on the baby. Sometimes wome require a number of these during their pregnancys.

if the heartbeat is fine... then u probably have nothing to worry about
what u can do to ease your mind at home, and it only takes about 1/2 hour:
drink a glass of apple or cranberry juice and lay still.
make sure you have a watch w/second hand
w/in 5 or 10 minutes, you should feel your baby kicking
if you feel at least 1 movement a minute, your baby is just fine
if you are really concerned, perhaps you and your midwife and perform a non-stress test in a clinical setting, just to ease your mind.
Congratulations!

If you're not feeling fetal movement, it could be that your baby is in distress. Maybe it's time to lose the midwife and go see an ob/gyn, who could possibly save your baby if something drastic happens. I'm sure midwives are lovely people, but they're not trained medical professionals...they deliver babies. That's it.

I'm no doctor but your diet might have something to do with it. Eat more energy food, and stay away from the non nutrient stuff like white bread. Have you tried music for your baby, get him/her stimulated. Don't worry too, all will be good.

When my son didnt move for awhile I used to eat a big bowl of icecream, then lie down flat on my back. The coldness & sugar used to make him go nuts in there! Try it......hey.....if it doesnt work it was still a good excuse to eat icecream! YUM. All the best :)

You must rememberthat babies have days like us too. Somedays we are very active and others we are tired and even wiped out adn soemtimes thsoe little ones will switch it up (their sleep cycles) it may be the way your baby is positioned too..sometimes you wont feel them...get still center yourself and ask your baby if he/she is ok.
i used to have dreams of going in thre and x raying my baby it was like he was telling me he was ok and growing very well...just ask your baby he.she WIll respond
