I have tried the fetal kick count and still nothing. I can feel where the baby is sitting and it hasnt moved at all. This is my third child but this prgnancy is way different then my other two. Thank you all

PLEASE GO DIRECTLY TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. DO NOT PASS GO! DO NOT COLLECT 200 DOLLARS!
If you are not able to feel the baby move within a 10 hour span it is said to go directy to the hospital. I have done this many times before. sometimes the outcome was good.. others not so good
Please go to the ER for a doppler and U/S.
you are in my prayers

How long has the baby been moving ? It is quite possible that the baby changed positions and you can't feel it.
Try drinking a tall glass of milk or oj and lay down for an hour and try doing a movement count. That way the baby gets a burst of energy, you relax and focus on the baby so that you can notice the movement.
If you do not feel anything, see if you can talk to a nurse / doctor. You must due for your ultrasound anyways, so you can see the baby on the u/s too.
good luck and relax.

Has your doc's office had you start a fetal movement tally yet? I can't remember when mine started, but...
... call your doc's office as soon as you possibly can and let them know. Sometimes when you don't feel well, the baby doesn't either, and movement slows. It's no reason to panic, but you really should tell your doctor about it. They may want you to come in to check the heartbeat just to make sure everything is okay (and most of the time it is so don't worry).
It's a good thing you are paying attention.

I'd go on to the doc. if it's normally very active and went to suddenly not active I'd be on my way to the ER. I'm 18 wks. right now and I can feel this kid moving every so often. Trust your gut if somethings telling you something isn't right then something's not right. I pray that you're gut is wrong but most of the time a womans gut isn't so please go get checked out.

Try eating something preferably sweet such as mountain dew,tea,chocolate,oj,cookies etc. afterwards lie down for at least an hour or put a little pressure on your lower abdomen and sit and wait..if u dont feel anything with an hour call a nurse,otherwise i might just feel your little one move again...Sometimes babys move at different times..baby may be in a comfortable position and it is still early on so theres still a lot of room. good luck!

Try the drinking something sweet and laying down method. But they are right, if it doesn't work then you need to go to the doc right away. That happen to my sister and the baby died inside her. She just stopped feeling the normal pregnancy symptoms that she had been and felt something was wrong. Not to say that is what's wrong with you though so try not to panic. I would like to know if your ok though or if the laying down helped.

Why have you waited 7 days ??That is dumb!!!At 18 1/2 weeks your babies are still light.It could be moving and you not know it.I would go to the ER ASAP and get your a** off the computer!

If you are getting no movement at all it is best that you go into the doctor asap.. Something could be wrong.. I hope nothing is, but you never can tell.. My prayers are with you.. Best of Luck..

So, I'm no expert, but I'd be freaking out if I didn't feel my baby for 7 days. It might be nothing, but I would call the dr ASAP!!!
