I am around 20-21 weeks pregnant. I have been feeling the baby move every night for a few weeks now. Today is Thursday and I haven't felt baby move since Tuesday night. I called my doctor and he is supposed to be calling me back. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and what was the problem...Thanks.

My daughter would move for a day or two and then rest for a day. Try having some juice and crackers, then lie down for about 20 minutes to see if that wakes 'em up. Good luck. Your MD may want you to come in just to be sure.

Yes I have. I got so worried I went to the hospital to make sure the baby was fine, which he was. I think that the baby had a growth spurt. Even though you did not feel the baby move that do not mean that it's not moving. Trying drinking something cold and lay on your left side (this may help). If the baby still do not move after a couple more days and your gut tells you something is wrong then go to the hospital but for now everything is ok.
Good luck!!

It's still early to be feeling very regular movements. If you have been busy then maybe you just haven't felt the baby moving, or the baby could have turned to a different position, such as facing your back.
Drink a glass of very cold water and lie down for a while. That should get the baby kicking

Lay down on your left side and do a kick count. If you don't feel the baby move at all in an hour then you need to go to the doctor...if he's not calling you back call the office back and tell them you NEED to speak to the doctor or a nurse and you would like to come in to the office.

If the Dr. is'nt calling you back you should go in and get checked your self. It could be really serious or it could be that he is moving and you just don't feel him because he is making little movements. When I was at that stage I remember seeing how much he moved around in the ultrasound and being shocked that I could'nt feel it. Either way you should take steps on your own to make your concerns heard. Your baby needs you to be proactive. Good luck and congradulations!

sometimes the baby gets into sleeping habits..like for instance the baby might be awake when ur sleeping and sleeping when ur awake..try some sweet stuff..i worry about that all the time...because some days my baby boy will move a whole lot and then other times not as much...but try some chocolate , oj, anything cold..move your stomach just alittle. and if that dont work then try the doctor again..good luck..

The baby moves alot normally but every baby is different. Also depending on what u eat drink and medicine affects how the baby moves. Its prolly nothing why u havent felt ur baby move.

nicely i felt my toddler transferring at about 4 months. i understand by 26 weeks you should have a minimum of 15 moves an afternoon. Any a lot less and also you've were given to call the document. What i 1st felt change into like flutters kinda like a butterfly in my abdomen, I also felt the bubbles kinda like gas transferring by your intestines yet diverse. wish this allows and dont worry you'll experience it quickly!

It happens quite often. It's good to see your Dr., but don't worry yet. Sometimes the baby gets in a weird postion where it's moving, but you just can't feel it. At 20 wks, I had an ultrasound, we could see the baby moving all around, but I couldn't feel it!
Soon, as it grows, you will feel it more consistantly.

Yeah, it turned out that the baby was turned in a wierd way. Don't stress. The doctor can probably check heartbeat or do an ultrasound. I'm sure everything is fine.
