A little concerned

[Djan2011]

So I usualy feel Brayden move and kick constantly throughout the day but the past few days I barely feel him at all and I'm starting to get really worried. I'm only 23w 3d but I've been feeling him on a regular basis for a long time now. Any ideas??

Anytime you feel a difference in babys movement that is cause for concern.  That said, 23 weeks can be a little early to feel consistent movement which is why kick counts aren't recommended at this point.  However, each case is different and if  you have noticed a big change and it has you worried I would either call your dr or go in to be checked just to be on the safe side.

call your dr and see if they may want you to come in and have the baby checked to make sure that every thing is ok

The same thing happened to me with my second. My Ob had me come in and they hooked me up to the monitor and he was kicking away and I did not even feel him! He had moved into a spot where his kicks were being "blocked" but after a few days he was right back to kicking me on the side!

For a peace of mind go have yourself checked out!

I would call your Dr. and ask them, but if anything drink some orange juice... That usually get's them moving.. He/she may be in a spot where the kicks are being blocked and you can't feel them....

thanks everyone I'm going to call tomorrow because it's just not the same and I'd rather make sure than just guess.  rdh1981 I hope it's the same thing with me!

Movements will become more consistent at about 26 weeks.

I talked to my dr and she had me do a kick count and then told me to come in. They did a u/s and he is fine. He's breech right now and the placenta  is in front so that's why I can't feel him as much. Thanks for the input!

Shall I go and see my doc then??
Because 2 weeks ago, I started seeing him move, and now Harry doesnt move that much...

I would def at least call and tell them. See what your midwife says. But it's most likely him just in a diff position like Brayden was. Cause I started being able to see his kicks too so it really made me worried. But yes I would even if just for peace of mind!

I got docs on the 7th... shall I wait till then or call my midwife, cause I dont think she has remembered about Friday... LOL

I would call your midwife just to be sure and to be able to stop worrying. I'd drive myself crazy waiting lol.
