This past weekend, the babies heart beat was fine, blood tests were fine. The baby did measure a bit on the small side and an ultrasound supported that. The lack of movement......what is this? could something be wrong with the baby? I am feeling fine, I do not feel sick or pain. Please what do you think could be wrong?

The baby should move everyday now... I would suggest going to the ER or your doctor because even though it might not be anything wrong its better safe than sorry... There is nothing that really says how much a baby should move each day.. but you should know your babies habits and if that cycle changes i would tell me doctor at least... I know when my ex was pregnant the mid-wife said if you dont feel her move all day eat something sweet and wait on hour and the baby should move atleast 5 times... within an hour.. so i would do that eat something relax and put your hand on your stomach. Because sometimes we are so busy we dont realize that the baby is moving... Hope this didnt scare you to much but two days without movement would worry me...

when i was pregnant with my daughter, i had similar problems. The doctor confirmed that her heart beat was fine and all tests showed good. But when i received an ultrasound, they were concerned about how small she was. Turns out that my placenta was 42 weeks matured where as my baby was only 37. Talk to your doctor and ask them to check the baby's weight every 2 days to make sure that the baby is doing good and getting the right nutrition. If my doctor would not have cought this then i would have lost my little girl.

When I was pregnant i was told that if the baby didn't move for any more than about 12/20 hours to call the midwife and nip down to be put on the machine (that logs the movements and heartbeat etc). If your a bit worried (even a incy bit) call the midwife and nip down to get checked, all the times I did it the baby was fine. Call now though and hear the heartbeat to feel fab again. (in the meantime a tip could be to drink an ice cold glass of water...dunno...but that's what the Midwives once told me to try). Happy Mummyhood.

If your not feeling your baby move at all for days then that is a problem you should feel your baby move everyday....if you have been busy and moving around alot you could be missing the movements.....you should eat or drink something (this wakes the baby up if the baby is asleep) lie down and pay attention the baby should move kick or squirm at least ten times within an hour if not then you should go to your doctor asap and tell them the sudden decrease in the baby's movements

at this point in your pregnancy the baby is getting bigger and has less room to move so they will move less than before.but if they do not move at all for a long period of time you need to call the doctor!!its always better safe than sorry!my sister was 8 months pregnant and hadnt felt the baby move all day and figured things were fine and would wait till her doctor appt the next day to tell him about it.when the doc tried to find the heartbeat it wasnt there.her baby had died.lack of movement can be nothing but the chances of it being something are enough to make you call the doc!!good luck and im sure all is fine but if theres ever a time to be paranoid,pregnancy is that time!!!

Your baby might be growing and running out of room. When I was pregnant the last 2 months I could never feel my baby move at all so I would go to my doctor and get a non stress test and it will let you know rather your baby is okay. I would still go to the doctor just to make sure you was okay. My baby was 9lbs10oz and 21 in thats why she wasn't moving she didnt' have no room at all!!

I had the same thing happen to me. I was really worried so I called my dr and they sent me to the ER. I was there for about 1/2 hour when all of a sudden he started kicking really hard. I felt kinda silly but like the other person said better to be safe then sorry. The nurse told me he is probably running out of room and won't be moving as much. Or is just sleeping. Good luck!

I'm sure nothing is wrong, but here is something you can do to put your mind at ease...it's called a "kick test."
Drink a full glass of orange juice...then lay on your left side, quietly. If you count 10 kicks in one hour, everything is fine. If you get 10 kicks in the first few minutes or so, you can go ahead and stop the test.
Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

I'm sure everything is okay. I'm 7 1/2 months and for awhile, I would only feel my baby move one day and then nothing in two or three days. Everything is okay. The baby is just running out of space to move around. He/She will start moving around everyday soon. Try to relax.

At 7 months there isn't very much space for the baby to turn around and kick and so forth, so that is why you will sometimes not feel the baby for a while. That is normal. It happend in my 1st pregnancy too.
Good luck.
