Movement

I haven't felt my baby move at all today. Last time was before I went to bed last night around 9:30. It's been almost 24 hours. I'm about 32 weeks. Should I call my doctor or am I just overreacting?

You should feel 10 movements in 2 hours. I would go get checked and do a NST to make sure everything is fine with baby

With my fisrt baby I never counted movements and she didnt move a whole lot nor did she move so many times an hour.

I got into a warm bath and drank ice cold water, works for instant movement every time. Don't scare yourself too much!

I would definitely go to the ER so they can check on the baby and make sure all is ok. Just to be on the safe side

I have a very lazy baby, which scares me as my first was very active, my dr said to try to count 10 movements throughout the day and call if I notice a decrease. At 24wks I hadn't felt it for 24hrs so they did a scan and as soon as they started the ultrasound it tried to wiggle away. Then at 28wks I hadn't felt it for 12hrs so they put the ctg monitor on and got me to chew on some ice. Now we know its not a terribly active baby my dr isn't too concerned about not feeling it every hour but definitely call if its a sudden decrease in movement. Nothing like reassurance!

My doctor said always lay on your left side and you should feel 5-6 movements each half hour he said if you haven't noticed feeling anything look at the clock,  relax and time it
