decreased movement 27 weeks

So last night I dreamed that someone crushed my babys head, which wasn't very nice. Woke up today at noon with no movement, which isn't abnormal... I don't usuallty feel her for a few hours when I get up. But normally by 4 pm she starts bouncing about. Haven't felt her today and its 8:30 pm now. I've poked my belly a bit and nothing. On lunch break now and wondering how long without movement before I should worry? She usually is most active between 11pm and 3pm but I still usually feel kicks now and again.

Call your ob if you dont feel any movement for 24 hours.

I meant active between 11pm and 3am.  OK 24 hours. That seems like a long time to wait! But ok. At least I guess it will wait til I get home from work in 4 or 5 more hours.

You can also drink something really sugary. Normally that will kick them high gear.

I'll drink a soda and see if that revs her up :)

Do you have a Doppler? But personally if it was me I would call my ob or go to l&d. Hope all is ok with lil baby.

You can drink a cold glass of something. Lay on your side and count movements. First hour you should have at least 1. Then by the second hour have counted 10 movements.
