Question

im 31weeks pregnant and 2day my babies not been moveing as much as normal...............i feel some light turns in the bottom of my belly but thats it should i be worried?

Answer 1

As long as you can feel 10 movements in an hour, however small those movements are, your baby is fine.

If you are worried though, don't ignore mother's intuition and always call your doctor if you aren't sure what's normal and what is not.

Good luck!

Answer 2

There's not much space in your belly especially with 2 babies. You will now need to do fetal counts. To do the counts, eat or drink something sweet and lay down. Then count the movements for an hour and it should be 8 to 10 movements.

Also remember that your babies probably have a pattern now. My baby sleeps during the day and is active at night. Try to see if you can see a pattern and do your fetal counts then.

Answer 3

The rule of thumb is to see if you can feel 10 movements within an hour's time. It helps to drink something with sugar in it (juice, pop, etc) and then lie down quietly for a while to do this little test.

Any movement counts - turns and rolls and flutters and kicks.

If the test doesn't give you the reassurance you need, please call your doctor just to be on the safe side. Although babies do have less active days (just like we do) you should feel some regular movement each day after the 28th week.

Answer 4

If your worried go get checked out ... go with your instinct as no1 can tell you if the baby is ok....however id say your nearly ready to giv birth so your baby is now much bigger and has VERY limited space that becomes more restricted everyday so it probably doesnt have the space to do the acrobats it used to! Towards the end of my mums pregnancy (last 11 weeks or so) my sister didnt move at all she was just way to big! so dont panick to much ... howeva like i said if you want go see your doctor just to check or give them a call there let you know if this is normal

Answer 5

Try eating or drinking something sweet then lay down and concentrate on baby. Most babies start to react to what you have eaten or drank within 30 minutes sometimes sooner. If you dont feel anything call the DOC.

Answer 6

try waking your baby up. Right now I am 31 weeks and sometimes I feel like my baby isnt moving. So I drink a cold cup of water and that usually does the trick. I have a stubborn baby so just prodding him does not wake him up.
