should i be worried?

I've been really busy today and just thought about it and don't remember feeling baby. I am 37+4. I drank some orange justice and felt her. But its not as strong as normal. Should I be worried?

I also was told that when u move around a lot and are very active you tend to not feel the baby move because ur not paying attention to him or her. Also they get tired a lot the farther along u get with them. I read that out of a really good medical type baby book that I have. The kick count is all ur ob will tell you to do probably.

Just two days ago that happened to me. I was having a really busy week n I guess I was just not paying much attention to the baby's movement.  When I realized that I hadn't felt him move towards night time, I started to get worried.  I didn't have orange juice so I drank kool aid.  I when to rest on my left side and sure enough baby started to move but not as strong as before. Vy the next day that I wasent as busy I notice alit more movement.

Lay on your left side & do a kick count I believe its 10 in either an hour or two. If still nothing call your ob, baby could just be lazy today. I'm 34w2d and I haven't felt him move till now, when I ate lunch

She moved a bit after the orange juice like I said, it was just..not as strong. I am so used to her being such an active mover...CONSTANTLY...just thought I'd get some extra input since it's different.

When I am scared about him not moving I eat something and prop my feet up. For some reason he always goes crazy when I do that but it makes me feel better. You are  2 weeks ahead of me so I am not sure how much wiggle room your baby has.

No it should be ok since u felt her once. she prob has been moving u just haven't noticed because u were preoccupied and u get so used to them moving in there it doesn't grab your attention as much anymore.  Plus the babies slow down a lot towards the end of pregnancy and they can't move very much which might be why its not as strong. If she doesn't move again in an hour or two I would probably call the doc just in case
