Question

im 28 weeks and my doctor says that my son has a very high heartbeat and is perfectly healthy based on his heartrate but i just dont feel him like i should i do the kick counts everyday but i maybe migh get 4 in an hr or a few here and there the doctor says everything is fine but why isnt he moving like he suppose to should i request an ultrasound

Answer 1

im 26 weeks and was having the same problem and according to my dr you should normally feel your baby move only 10 times a day. so you feeling him 4 times an hour is great. my dr also say he could be facing your back and he is moving but you dont feel it. Also, the baby is getting bigger and getting less room to move around so he may not move as much now as he did a month or 2 ago.

Answer 2

Your baby could also be moving at night, when you might not feel him. When I was 26+ weeks pregnant, I would come home from work and pass out on the couch. I wouldn't feel anything, but my family would watch my son move like CRAZY! They would tell me how my stomach would just look like it would just go in waves non-stop. Also, like the others said, there is definitely going to be less and less room in there! :)

Answer 3

have you ever had an ultrasound to make certain each thing is okay? im specific that's because of the fact the dr says the middle beat is physically powerful. in case you're somewhat demanding approximately it ask your dr if he can do an ultrasound to place your recommendations relaxed. it constantly enables being waiting to verify your toddler on the reveal screen moveing around and doing summer time saults. good success.

Answer 4

Most boys have markedly higher heart rates than girl fetuses.

It is possible that you have more fluid than normal....so the baby is still floating a little.

You should be feeling the baby soon. Don't worry.
