I'm glad you called though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928760 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 12:13:15 +0000 Pepper 928760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad things are picking up! If you have any doubts, don't hesitate to go in. I went in for monitoring 3 times, and each time the nurses told me that they were glad I came and that they always would rather you be overly cautious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928724 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 11:24:37 +0000 sarac 928724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go in for monitoring if they don't go back to normal soon. I had low amniotic fluid, and this was how I knew that it was becoming an issue. That was way at the end, not so early like you, but still. I would be concerned, personally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928699 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 10:56:05 +0000 delight 928699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: I was going to say definitely call, but I read that you did. I'm glad baby's movements are picking up. Doc told me this week I should be noticing longer periods of no movements because babes are establishing a nap cycle (35w for me). Do you ever poke or shake your belly when you don't feel movement? Maybe I shouldn't be doing this, but when it has been a few hours since I've noticed movement, I poke around a bit and usually it'll move out of the way. Like I said, glad babe is moving for you now, what a relief, but keep monitoring! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928680 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 10:34:02 +0000 .twist. 928680@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: great news!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928678 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 10:28:37 +0000 LovelyPlum 928678@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: so good to hear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928667 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 10:19:02 +0000 Alivoo01 928667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>While drinking something sugary/cold to see if you can get your baby to move, I'd also call just for peace of mind. I'd feel better getting monitored and knowing for sure everything is okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928665 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 10:14:14 +0000 StrawberryBee 928665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: whew, good to hear! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928659 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 10:10:04 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 928659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've started getting more kicks. Still not what she normally is but there is definite movement. I talked to my nurse line and since her movements are picking back up they just want me to keep track of them and ball back in a few hours. If it still isn't where it needs to be then I will be going in. They said it isn't unusual for movement to slow for a day or so and pick back up and since there is movement they aren't super concerned at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928621 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 09:36:59 +0000 sorrycharlie 928621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd get checked out - even if all is okay, you'll have peace of mind :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928576 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 08:56:55 +0000 StrawberryBee 928576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with everyone else; please get checked out just to be on the safe side.

They delivered LO a few hours later. BUT I had IUGR and high blood pressure, which contributed to the situation so please don't freak out, just go get checked out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928557 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 08:48:26 +0000 .twist. 928557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would also call. If I wouldn't have called, I'd have been in a whole different situation.

I would definitely call. I'd want some fetal monitoring to make sure everything was fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928505 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 08:05:40 +0000 regberadaisy 928505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: how is she this morning? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928504 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 08:03:55 +0000 cmomma17 928504@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: I'm glad she moved around a little for you! Please still call your doctor, and try to take it easy today. I had a couple days when I thought my LO wasn't moving enough, or I couldn't remember how long it had been since he last moved, and I freaked out! The FTM worries are totally normal! Listen to your gut, you know your baby best! (((Hug))) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928435 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 07:01:14 +0000 bpcmarj 928435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to me at about 38 weeks and for peace of mind, I went on for monitoring. Like others, she started moving riiiight when we got there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928429 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 06:55:02 +0000 mamimami 928429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: call! For your peace of mind and for the baby. That's what those people are there for. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928414 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 06:41:13 +0000 doodlepoodle 928414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Hedgehog: it's okay to be paranoid, your ob and nurses are paid enough to take care of you, that's what I think! I wouldn't hesitate to call, better to be reassured sweet mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928404 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 06:29:55 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 928404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So after a huge soda and sitting in a quiet room I did feel some pressure which I usually take to mean she is stretching. I decided to wait and see if it happened again. About an hour later I got one big wiggly movement and a couple small jabs. Nothing since. If her movements stay this lacking I will be calling but feeling her stretch and the big movement was reassuring at least. </p> <p>Now that I know she CAN move I do worry about her extremely few movements. Ugh... maybe I am just being a paranoid FTM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928402 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 06:28:47 +0000 doodlepoodle 928402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sending you love, hoping all is well and that LO is alright. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928401 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 06:27:08 +0000 MapleMoose 928401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hoping all turned out fine and you got Lil Baby to move </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928399 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 06:22:59 +0000 illumina 928399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would go in for peace of mind, regardless of the time of day.

Any updates? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928388 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 05:56:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 928388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would do the above suggestions but also call. Like everyone said its probably nothing but weta only worth te call now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928384 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 05:42:19 +0000 anbanan15 928384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to me with DS. They told me to drink OJ and lay on my side. If that didn't work to do the same after eating a lot of sugar. I still had no movement so they brought me in for a non-stress test. Turns out DS was moving around just fine, I just couldn't feel any of it! I was even having some mild contractions and I felt nothing. Anyway during the test, as part of their attempt to get me to feel movement (and lower my anxiety), they banged large metal spoons really close to my belly, hoping the noise would get DS kicking around. Maybe you could try that, but in all honesty I would be calling your OB/midwife/on-call doctor now just to be on the safe side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/no-movement-for-over-18-hours-at-34-weeks#post-928376 Sat, 13 Jul 2013 04:21:21 +0000 Cherrybee 928376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to me a few nights ago and they told me to come to hospital straight away for monitoring. All was fine but they said it was a very good thing that I called - if a baby is feeling poorly (and there's a host of rare but serious reasons baby might be), their movements reduce, like us lying about going "ugh, im ill". Your care team need to know this. If they monitor and all is fine, you feel better and everyone is happy - no damage done. If they monitor and all is not fine you will be SO GLAD you caught it on time. </p> <p>Keep us in the loop. </p>
