Hey I just turned 27 weeks and I was worrying about the same thing a couple of days ago (he was being less active than usual) but he's back to being active again. So try not to stress too much.

Have a snack and drink some cold water or juice and then just relax and sit back. See if your baby moves and responds.

Now if you are really worried, call your doctor and make sure everything is ok.

Look up on the web how many kicks or movements you should feel at however may weeks you are and keep a "kick chart" and chart how many kicks you feel in an hour to a three hour time frame. And if you think that there are too few call your doctor and advise him of how many for that time frame. If he thinks its too few he will order an us.

Hi there, my midwife said if you could feel regular baby movements within the day, she said as long as you feel the babe move a min of 10 times/day its ok if its less than that you have to see your healthcare rep coz sometimes we get too bz that we dont realize that baby's moving, try drinking a fizzy drink or a hot choc it gets my baby dancing most of the time.
Good luck

When it gets closer to the end of your preg the little one moves less because they have less room to move,so its ok,as long as you feel somrthing everyonce in a while,your good!

U most liely just have a lazy baby...Lol
my baby moves alot all the time and ive pretty much figured out his/her sleeping times lol just move around more.. Its kinda cruel but put a small pot on ur belly and hit it with a spoon or something if u get to worried... The baby should jump just to make sure everything is good. Also remember the bigger you get and ur baby the less movements cause it gets pretty cramped in there

I'm the same as buddah....My baby's pretty predictable....But not all babys move a lot. I am a very paranoid person and I do the kick count as well!! It eases the mind! Lol...Or you can just drink a coke and feel the baby start to party!!

Have the movements decreased? By now you should be feeling a good amount of movement. Drink some oj and lie on your left side and do kick counts. Look for about 10 within a two hour period. "kicks" are considered to be kicks, punches, rolls, but not hiccups. If your movements have decreased or you aren't feeling 10 within two hours, call your doctor.
