no movement???

Ok so I am now 37 weeks and my baby hasn't moved at all in well a good two hours. My drs told me if I don't feel him move at least 5 times in a hour to go to the hospital. Come to think of it I've been up since 430 am and haven't felt any movement and it's 8am now. Does anyone have any advice to get my son to move even a lil I just drank some apple juice, chocolate milk and ate breakfast burritos.

Sorry... 3 movements in a half hour. He said any tiny movement counts. Good luck mama

My doc says drink something cold and sugary then lie down in a quiet and comfy place.  3 movements in an hour or else call the doc!

Get checked. Better safe than sorry. I am going thru the same thing. 3 days till my csection and if I don't feel her move I go and of course she moves after I get hooked up. My doctor said she just doesn't have much room

Drink cold water.  If he doesn't move within 10 min. Go... u know what? Skip the water or drink it on your way to ER. Don't wait for home remedies here. Better safe than sorry

Try soda and/or orange juice and lay on your left side. If that doesn't work then ice cold water. If still no movement then go to the hospital. I hope all is well and baby is sleeping.
