@jmariegarbaloff, see my dr never said anything about counting his movements before

@jmariegarbaloff, me too! I’m a ftm so I might have freaked out more then I should’ve but I’ll definitely look that app up!

Thank you ladies!!! I drank some water and I counted the kicks and I had at least 10 since I posted this. I just want to thank you ladies. Like he moved a little today but not near as much as he was all week and it was freaking me out a little bit. I really do appreciate everyone who commented!

There’s a difference between feeling movements that aren’t as powerful, and not feeling movement at all.
If you’re not feeling movement, it’s not normal.

@ambrerumph1440, got it! 🤗

@lizology27_bb no doctors are not always right I don't listen to them all the time o listen to my body and I also told her to try the kick test

@lizology27_bb yes that's what my doctors said to me I guess they all have they own saying I listen to none of them and if I don't feel right I go straight to the hospital no hesitation.

Agree with @lizology27_bb, you need to feel the baby move , if you don’t feel them move you definitely need to go in just to ensure nothing is wrong do not wait 24 hours ! U need to monitor your kicks

@ambrerumph1440, I understand. My doctor told me that baby would have less room BUT the movements should still be the same. They stressed to monitor the movement closely.

@ambrerumph1440, I doubt that’s what the doctor ACTUALLY meant... and if so.... you know how doctors are always right 1000% of the time.... OP please follow the advice that me and some of the other mothers posted. Drink some juice, count the kicks, if less than the suggested amount, call L&D. They could do a non stressed test and put your mind at ease. Better safe. I wish you the best!

@lizology27_bb @cams I'm not saying this cause if it was me yes I would be nervous and scared I'm saying what my doctor told me I'm not gonna say nothing is something if I don't know or haven't experienced cause I'm not the type to be like o that's normal I stated what doctors have told me and different ones and different states cause my kids have been born in different states

My son's movement definitely slowed down during the last few weeks. If you're concerned definitely talk to your doctor.

@lizology27_bb my doctor clearly told me the further I get the bigger baby gets the less room he will have and I won't get as much movements as I am now my other three pregnancies they also told me the same as well but the baby should still be able to make the kick count test now if nothing for 24 hours they instructed me to go in

@cams my doctor clearly told me the further I get the bigger baby gets the less room he will have and I won't get as much movements as I am now my other three pregnancies they also told me the same as well but the baby should still be able to make the kick count test now if nothing for 24 hours they instructed me to go in

@ambrerumph1440, yup. BUT less room DOES NOT EQUAL less movement. Baby should still be moving

Like @cams said... it’s not normal... I would drink some apple juice and lay on your left side. Count the kicks. I believe it should be 5-10 in a 30 minute timeframe. Call L&D if it doesn’t happen

@ambrerumph1440, while it’s true that there is less room, that should not effect movement.

The further you get the less room they have. Have you did the kick count test babies also go thru REM sleep stages per the Dr say cause I have called in a couple times and gone in for this

@jmariegarbaloff @cams, thank you

No. Drink something sugary and lay on your left side. If still not much movement you need to go to L&D.
