Why isnt she moving?

sit down and drink some OJ or somthing with lots of sugar to see if you can get her to move around.... its probably just cuz she is running out of room in there that you dont feel her as much. You will start to feel her pushing at you soon instead of moving around freely tho.

I would call the doc after you rest for awhile to see if she will move around in there :)

Will try to get some OJ...I'm at work but I think the caf might have some. I hate this worrying crap!

when you are active its hard to feel when they are moving around - its so hard having to worry about that stuff. I think if you dont feel anything in a 24 hour period you are to call the doctor but thats only after trying to make her move around with sugar and/or rest position.

Let me know how it turns out.... she probably just all cramped up and cant move around much :)

Try the crushing the can trick

it works for me everytime

whats that trick?

what that?!?!?

you just take an empty pop can and crush it next to your belly. The baby will move right away. The doctor did this to me

im not strong enough to crush a can with my hands LOL

just sideways ha ha ha

Its very easy....

wow, never heard the crushing the can trick...but while I was reading about it she began to flutter away in there. Only for a second, but enough to reassure me for now. Thanks ladies for the advice.

I think she has a major growth spurt of the past couple of days because my belly grew a lot...so I wouldnt be surprised if she is just getting squished! Lets hope thats all it is.

I shall keep you all posted. Thanks!

Hi Erin!

Dont worry hun! Your little girls is just fine! I know what you mean about all the worrying! I feel like worrying is my full time job, lol! I guess it's just preparing us for motherhood! Erin when did you start feling movement or even a flutter? About how many weeks. I'm 14w2d and people are asking me if the baby is moving alot?! I'm like uhh I dont know, I havent felt it yet! Please keep us posted but I'm sure everything is just fine:)

Hey sweetie.....I think this is common, but hard to be ok with. My little man has off days and then I worry! But OJ or milk can help. Glad to hear she moved some when you were posting. It is true to that she is just getting bigger and can't be doing flips like she used to!: ) Hugs to you and her.

Thanks Maria and Fran. She has had little movements every now and then for the past hour or so...I'm going to try not to worry. I went down and got some OJ too, havent started drinking it yet (doesnt exavtly go well with my cheddar and broccoli soup!)

Maria - I didnt feel definate movements until about 20 weeks. I had gassy feelings every now and then from about 18wks though, and i think that may have been her!

praying for moving baby dust to you Erin!!!! love you dear!!!

Definitely try drinking the oj/milk or something and laying down trick...

To ease your mind a little.. I've had a few days where my baby has been like that. I figure he's just having a sleepy lazy day. My dr told me its normal.

But as always, don't hesitate to call your doctor, if only for peace of mind! :o)

Dont worry at all..

My daughter Carleigh (who is 5 now) really slowed down her movement..i even wnet to the hospital b/c I was so worried but all was fine :D U will be too :)

STICKY GLUE!!

I always read about how the babies are just like us. Some days they're full of energy, others, not so much. Point being, no need to worry.

Psmcmm--thanks for the crushing can trick.

thanks girls. I had some OJ and she got moving for a little bit. Think she is sleeping again. I feel much better to have felt her for a few minutes though.

Glade your feeling better ..STICKY GLUE @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
