Answer 1

everyone is crazy!!!! not feeling your baby move for 2 days is not a good sign you should feel your baby everyday even if it's not as active one day as it is another you should still feel something my doctor explains it to me all the time to count the movements of my baby and that if i eat or drink something and lie down i should feel at least ten movements in an hour so i doubt not feeling anything for 2 days is a good sign go see a doctor now or as soon as possible!!!!

Answer 2

If you are 22 weeks pregnant and have been feeling your baby move, and now you are not and haven't for 2 days, that could be a problem. It is NOT normal. First make sure you are not just missing the movement. Lay down and really focus on your baby for at least an hour. If you don't feel the baby move you should get it checked out. At 22 weeks there is not a lot that can be done if your baby is having a problem, but you never know. If you were my patient and you didn't feel the baby move I would send you immediately for a sonogram and evaluation.

I am also 22 weeks with my third child. I have gone maybe a day with out feeling the baby move. Try drinking some OJ, that usually makes mine move. I think you are doing the right thing to call the doctor, Remember though that the baby is still small, and if you have been active and moving around a lot than you may not have felt it when the baby has moved.
I wish the best of luck to you and your baby.

Answer 4

Yes! I started feeling movement pretty early, and by 22 weeks I could see these awesome waves that would roll across my belly. It was amazing. After a while I would be able to pinch the body part and tell if it was a foot, the back or what. I'm only 16 weeks pregnant this time, and can't wait to feel/see that again! It truly is my favorite part of pregnancy.

Answer 5

Try eating some sweet candy or drinking soda to get the baby moving. If you really feel like it's an emergency, go to the hospital and demand a sono so you can hear and see that the baby is ok. Good luck..

Answer 6

I do not remember (and I am preggo with my 4th) movements everyday that early into the pregnancy. Try not to worry, call your Dr. like you said you were going to do. Have you tried drinking something cold (OJ works for me) and lying on your left side for awhile to see if you can feel movement? Try it and see if it works.

Answer 7

this happened to me while i was around the same amount of weeks along. i was so scared.what you could try doing if you haven't already is laying on your left side and moving your belly around. to stimulate the baby. but don't go worrying to much, your child feels the stress you feel. call the doctor as planned.

Your baby is fine. This can be normal. Try drinking some juice or a little soda this might wake him/her up.
