Should i be worried?

I'm currently 28 weeks. I haven't felt her all morning long. The last time I felt her move was yesterday evening. I keep trying to move my tummy to see if she will move but nothing. I'm starting to get worried. Is this normal?

Have you tried drinking cold water or drinking/eating something sweet?

At 28 weeks you should be able to feel her at least 10 movements every 2 hours. What you can do is go to the ER and tell them and they should do  non-stress test. Doesn't mean that anything is wrong, but its always good to have checked. She may just be in a position where her movements aren't easy to feel but will be noticed on a monitor

I know how you feel, my booger has been waking me up in the mornings with his kicks, but not this morning. I sipped on some water and laid on my left side to get him moving.

Eat something and drink some orange juice. If you dont have movement within an hour call or just go in. I had that problem at 37 weeks and rhey ended up inducing cause of low heart rate and amniotic fluid. It may be fine but you should be feeling at least one movement an hour.... good luck

Not to worry alot I was the same way with my baby boy like sometimes I feel him like crazy and some days I don't even feel him. They just tired and some days they sleep more than some other days also my doctor told me sometimes you don't feel them because they don't have alot of space to move and you will only feel them when they trying to move and change position.  Only be worried if a week pass and you haven't feel her but trust me she should be ok

@Dariix, only be worried if a week has passed and you feel nothing?!? You've got to be kidding me! Smh.. that is some of the worst advice I have heard. @CaviChamp, glad to hear you felt her and all is well. :))

With my first I hardly ever felt him. And he was fine. I found out he was up moving all night while I was sleeping and he slept during the day which is why I only felt him like once during the day.
