I'm 28 weeks, and I just don't feel that much movement. Never have. Several factors could be contributing to this (first pregnancy, anterior placenta, long torso, calm baby?).

I told my OB and high risk OB, and neither was overly concerned, as I haven’t really felt a decrease in activity (there hasn’t been enough of an increase to ever feel a decrease). My regular OB was a little more concerned though. She suggested kick counts starting at 28 weeks and then to go to hospital if I’m not feeling enough movement. Today has been a quiet day. No way have I reached 10 kicks during any one hour since breakfast. Don’t even know if I have felt baby at all today.

I have had two ultrasounds and one NST in the past two weeks, and everything looks fine. NST took a while longer than normal, but once I drank some cold water and ate a sugar cube, he was plenty active. I have another NST scheduled for next week, which I can choose to attend or cancel based on how much movement I am feeling.

Did anyone else experience this? Is the solution just to attend weekly NST’s for the remaining 3 months of pregnancy? That seems like overkill, and every time I go, they say everything looks great, but maybe it is better to be safe. I have a few days until my next NST, but if I continue to not feel much today, should I go in over the weekend, or rely on the fact that the baby looked great a few days ago?

I am just at a loss. I just don’t feel that much movement and don’t have a way to gauge whether baby is doing okay (like most women). Also just feeling down (though thankful the baby seems healthy thus far) and jipped out of one of the most fun pregnancy symptoms (baby movement). Also sick of random people asking me if I'm feeling baby all the time. No, no I'm not.
