OK. I used to feel my little man move a lot, especially at night sitting in my recliner. Now, I am lucky if I feel him 1 time a day or even at all. Is this normal? Do babies go through growth spirts that affect there movement? Or maybe he switched positions? I am nervous and dont know what I should do. My doctor is at lunch and I dont want to call the emergency number.

Don't panic but do make sure you get a hold of your doctor.

Hi. You need to go to the ER. You should be feeling at least 10 movements per day. Don't feel bad about going to the ER. They will put you on the monitor to check the heartbeat and make sure everything is ok. I just had a baby 5 months ago and had some of the same concerns.

try not to panic, at 20 1/2 weeks i stopped feeling my lil man move and then one day he booted me so hard it made me jump,he was kicking away for a good couple of weeks and then he stopped.I could barely feel flutters at 24weeks and was worried that what i was feeling was gas and not my baby.But im 26weeks now and am feeling really strong wriggles and felt a kick again for the first time last night.Im not saying that you should ignore the fact that you are feeling him less as you do need to get in touch with your doctor but there could be a number of reasons why. Like you said he could have just moved to a place where you cant feel him.
Good luck and make sure you talk to your doc today xxx

As long as he is moving some(kicking and squirming around) a few times a day where you can feel him, I THINK he is fine. The furthur along in your pregnancy, the less room you have in the uterus. He is a growing baby and he is taking up a lot of space. If you feel like you should call the doctor, then do so. That might make you feel better in knowing that everything is ok! Good Luck!

Ok, you need to do a kick count now. To do this: Eat or drink something--juice, a cookie, something like that. Lay down on your left side in a quiet room. Lay your hand on your belly for 30minutes and count the movements. Anything from 5-10 is perfect.
If it's any less than 5 then call your doc.

Very regularly occurring and as long as you're nonetheless feeling some flow each thing could be nice. the toddler has a lot much less room to go now and your physique is on the factor of help you push that wee one out. somewhat some the situations they flow yet we don't word it via fact we are faraway from mattress and not paying interest and then it dawns on us, wow i've got not felt my toddler for hours. in case you're stressful, eat some thing small and lay down. day trip an hour and pay very close interest to make certain how a lot flow you sense. once you're nonetheless stressful after that factor, purely call the wellbeing care expert and tell them. they could have you ever come back in and examine to make helpful each thing is nice. i does no longer hardship nevertheless, with all 3 of mine i did no longer sense them a lot the final 2 months and that all of them have been born suitable. ~hugs~ good success and prepare, she would be in a position to be here quickly!

drink cold orange juice, and see if that gets the little guy kicking. thats what my Dr. had me do when mine stopped moving. also get real still, the movement of your body tends to rock them back to sleep thats why they tend to kick more at night. if you still dont feel him after about 10 mins I would not waste another moment waiting he could be in some kind of distress...

Yes this is very normal. Just as you at times are more active he may be growing and tired. As long as you do feel him move even a little it is fine. Relax and enjoy.

TRY THIS PLEASE...
DRINK A FULL CAN OF MOUNTIN DEW AND EAT A SNICKERS BAR. OR TRY A FULL GLASS OF ORANGE JUICE AND A CANDY BAR.
AFTER EATING THIS LAY ON YOUR BACK ON THE COUCH AND WAIT ONE HOUR. IF YOU DO NOT FEEL ANY MOVEMENT CALL YOUR DOCTOR. GOOD LUCK.
