My baby isnt moving enough today

July 15, 2008

Ok, I may be being paranoid...but I dont think so. I am 40w1d - and today I feel like the baby has not moved nearly enough. I felt her move around a little bit much earlier (around noon) - but since then I havent noticed any activity. I drank a big cup of sweetened decaf ice tea about 25 minutes ago to try to get her moving, but so far, nothing. I am poking and prodding my belly with no luck. Is this normal??

Erin u need to see ur Dr. I had the same thing going on. On May 9th, the baby wasnt moving at all and I went in for an NST and biophysical profile. All was normal but she still wasnt moving as much and she was born 2 days later. Sometimes amnio qty may go down and that is worrysome so u have to call ur Dr right away, dont wait.Im sure all is fine.,but better to call her.

Erin- Definately call the doctor.. I also had this with jacob.. 35 weeks.. no movement for hours.. I tried it all.. went to L& D and they put me onthe monitors.. thankfully he was moving, I just could not feel him.. I am sure Alayna is too..but always better to call :) Keep us posted

Erin, I agree please call your doc asap, I did not feel my daughter move at all and went in and had run out of amniotic fluid and had to be induced...it just happened it was on my due date anyways, but def call them.

I agree also but at 40 weeks there is so little space for them to move..I had this with Carleigh at 32 weeks I went to the hospital cuz it was a sat nite and had an ultra sound all was well..good luck can't wait to see pics

Erink Please go in to your doctor....

I DO NOT want to scare you- or anyone else on here- but a friend of mine who was due July 9th noticed that her son was not moving around very much- but decided to wait a couple days before going in and when she went in they found the baby had died. Just two weeks before her due date a nasty blood clot got caught in the umbilical cord. So please go in- I know that what happened to my friend is not very common- but it's better to err on the side of being overcautious...

Hey everyone - after I posted I called my doc and went to L & D for a NST. All is well with Alayna, she just had a really long quiet time. I am home now and so relived everything is okay. Thank you all for your advice.

PS. I LOOVE the name Alayna- that's one of me and my hubby's picks for a girl... if we have a girl!

Hey Erin! Sorry to hear that you had a scare! But great that you found out all was well. How are you feeling otherwise? I'm sure uncomfortable and frustrated! Please take care and know that I'm thinking about you!
