Baby girl hasn't been as active the last couple days and I know she has lazy days and she's always back at it a couple days later but it drives me nutty and I have to lay here with a flashlight or poke at her to get wiggles. 🤦♀️🙇♀️ this paranoia though... I hate when it comes back.

Any decrease in movement this late in the game should be reported to your doctor.

@cams @monavidaa thanks, mommas.

Yeah definitely don’t wait a few days! Whenever you notice she’s not moving you should drink a glass of cold sweet juice, lay on your left side and count kicks. If you don’t get 6 kicks (I think that’s the number) in one hour then call your OB or midwife and go in

@mommytok does the kick count actually count if you are forcing baby to make movements? I've been unsure about that. She does move everyday it's just not very much every so often.

@alice-quinnsmommy, yes it counts. A cold drink, especially something sugary WILL make baby wake up and move. I’m a nurse. Please do it and if you’re not getting any kicks plllllease go in. All they have to do is throw a monitor on you to track heart rate for a little bit to make sure everything’s okay. Don’t want to scare you, but it’s important to take it seriously and not wait a few days for her to get active again.

@mommytok Okay, thank you. I'll get some sugar in me. 😊

@alice-quinnsmommy is she still havent moved after having any sugar then i would go in and get checked

@adri8192 Thank you, momma. I got the movements. I think I was just being too paranoid because a little while later she was doing fine, being very active and very forceful, like she was trying to leap out lol.
