Babies Not Moving Posted: 02-28-06 01:10am
Well I am 29 weeks and so far before
yesterday the baby has moved non-stop.
Now for the past 48 hours I felt the baby
move one or two times... Whats going
on??!?!?! Is this normal?
No not really... Have you tried drinking
some cold water or juice and laying down
for an hour and counting baby movements?
If you do it and only feel a couple or
nothing call your doctor right away.
Good luck!

Well, at 29 weeks I don't think that's
normal. However I am not sure....If it
were me i'd call the doctor and see what
he says. I know when you get around 37/38
weeks the movement slows a bit due to lack
of space....But at 29 weeks I think they
are supposed to move quite a bit. Like I
said i'm really not sure, but i'd call
just to see. Better to be safe than
sorry. Good luck and I hope everything is
ok!

I am pretty small though, so maybe hes
already starting to get crowded in
there... I don't know. But when I lay on
my sides he kicks the side i'm laying on
so I know he still alive in there.. I
will still call my doctor tomorrow morning
just to see if everythings okay. If I
don't get some reassurance then i'll end
up freaking myself out.. Thanks for all
your help..

Hi i'm also pretty small but my little one
moves about in routine like when im lying
down or during nights. Sometimes we don't
notice the babies movement because we're
so preoccupied with what we're doing. My
midwife said that the least movement you
could feel per day should be 10 if it goes
lower than that within 24 hours its best
to ring your doctor just to be safe. Take
care

Sometimes you just don't notice the
movements, that happened to me a few times
and they'd hook me up and say "didn't u
feel that?" and I was like ummmm, no.
Lol
we got a chart from 28weeks on to chart
movements and if by 6pm we had felt less
than 10 movements we were advised to have
a coke and lie on our left side for 1/2
hour and then track the movements.

Well I laid on my back last night and I
felt him move quite a bit, then I turned
on my left side and he was kicking me in
the sides all night. I guess I really
only feel him while i'm laying down. I
swear he was kicking more about a week ago
though. Who knows?!? Thanks for your
help girls!!

Even though you feel him moving in there
and know he's "still alive"... Lack of
movement could be a sign of fetal
distress. If you're feeling him move
frequently when lying down, though that's
a good sign.
When you're up and moving around, the
movement helps lull the baby to sleep.
When you're just lying there still, they
tend to wake. It sucks for us, because
it's when *we're* trying to sleep, but
it's the truth!!
Isn't the general rule of thumb 15+
movements per day? Anything less call
the doc immediately? I can't remember.
I could've completely pulled that figure
out of my you-know-what, but really. If
I barely felt the baby move in 48 hours my
arse would be in the er! Lol it's best
to actually concentrate on it. Like
someone else said, sometimes you just
don't notice it because you've kind of
gotten used to it. But if you start to
think he isn't moving enough, stop what
you're doing and lay down and count.
Just to be save.
