Apparently "feeling wrong" can be a really good indicator. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-100099 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 11:46:24 +0000 Crisark 100099@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@EloiseKE: So glad all is well!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-100094 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 11:44:10 +0000 tequiero21 100094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@EloiseKE: glad to hear baby doing well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-100024 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:37:03 +0000 Mrsbells 100024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It happens sometimes for no reason that they can be very quiet on some days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99997 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 10:13:35 +0000 EloiseKE 99997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: Which I did :)<br /> All is well! Baby was just having a low key day for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99972 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 09:55:23 +0000 Goldilocks1107 99972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had that happen one day and was really nervous (about to call my OB), but I had some juice, shook my belly a bit and laid on my side. That woke her up. My OB has me checking for movement between meals (did she move between breakfast and lunch?, lunch and dinner? after dinner?). If I miss one of those, I'm supposed to relax and lay down so I can pay attention and then do a kick count (I might have been too busy and missed the movement).<br /> Hope everything turned out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99867 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:35:23 +0000 LivsMama 99867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What did the midwife have you do? Like @msmini said, my OB and all the L&amp;D nurses told me that they would prefer you to come in 100% of the time when you think there is reduced fetal movement. I went to L&amp;D at 30, 32, and 34 or 36 weeks because of reduced movement. Please PLEASE do not ever hesitate to go get looked at when you think there is reduced movement. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99843 Fri, 23 Mar 2012 08:16:11 +0000 volksgirl64 99843@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc told me to lie down and do a kick count for an hour or 2. I think @artbee is correct, should be about 10. Change of position always seems to wake up my LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99704 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:51:44 +0000 MsMini 99704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>All the LDR nurses I work with have told me that they would rather have 100 false alarms of decreased fetal movement than have 1 person hesitate to come in if they are concerned in the least. It takes no time at all for them to hook you up to a monitor and make sure all is okay. I think if ever you have doubt you should just go in and be checked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99691 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 20:24:10 +0000 heffalump 99691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drink some oj and.lay on your side. Usually wakes.them up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99487 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:13:36 +0000 tequiero21 99487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>there were days when i felt the babies all the time and others where i didn't feel much. so it may be normal. but if you haven't talked to your midwife yet, i'd check how many movements your baby's doing in a span of 2 hours (should be about 10)?</p> <p>i'm 37 weeks and my baby girl isn't moving much today, so i'm a lil nervous too....(boy is still active)... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99486 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:13:30 +0000 birdieputt 99486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i def had days like that. sometimes i would drink cold water, eat an orange, or listen to loud music to get the babies kicking again. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99485 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:13:23 +0000 cyndistar3 99485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Perhaps! I know it scared me pretty bad but I figured since she was still moving she was fine, I was just about to call my midwife when she became active again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99481 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:09:43 +0000 EloiseKE 99481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe she's just having a lazy day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99477 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:06:51 +0000 cyndistar3 99477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am just shy of 28 weeks and the same exact thing happened to me yesterday and the day before but then she went back to her normal active self. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/28-weeks-hardly-feeling-any-kicks-today#post-99474 Thu, 22 Mar 2012 17:01:59 +0000 EloiseKE 99474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a quick inquiry before I call my midwife. I'm 28 weeks 2 days today, and the baby has been very inactive today. A few weak kicks very spaced out. I feel her moving periodically so it's not making me too nervous, but the kicks are nowhere near what they usually are. I'm going to call, but I guess I'm just looking for a little input while I'm on the phone. </p>
