movement

I'll be 39 weeks tmrw. I've felt her move yesterday. but definetly not as much as normal. I've downed two classes of cream soda and Im trying to get some sort of kick or jab out of her. How else can I get her to move? I'm seriously freakin out

Even my boyfriend last night asked why she wasnt moving. He normally puts his hand on ny stomach and she goes crazy! A Doppler would've eased my mind a lot faster. Now I feel sick from all that sugary crap. But at least she's moving!

I love feeling my bubba move. And yeah I get worried to when it doesn't for ages and the doctors always tell me to call if the pattern changes but I feel silly ringing and then everything is normal. So now I just use the Doppler I don't know what I would do if I couldn't find the HB though. Ice and sodas have never made my baby move more so that makes it harder for me to get my baby to move I have to like push around on my tummy to get it to move. And even then that sometimes doesn't work. I don't worry to much though this is my meant to be baby haha

In totally with you babydue I'm so worried about the cord wrapping around my baby's neck. My baby has slowed down SOO much to hardly moves at all. But I have a heart Doppler I brought early in my pregnancy so I just put that on my tummy and check when I'm worried. Best $20 I ever spent! I'm 39+4

Well moat drs say if ur not feeling baby move around much and you feel less movement its best to ho to er just to b on safe side because anything could happen. But I'm sure your little girl is fine and she's just getting ready to go into labor and stuff. Play it safe n go to er. I hope the best for you hugs n just stay calm.

hmm. it doesn't hurt to be safe so I'd probably go to the er. but the other day he started to worry me cuz I hadn't felt him move much at all then like a day later he was kicking the crap out of me. I've also heard that it can be a sign if labor cuz they're saving their energy. but I hope everything is ok.

I would try a piece of candy and glass of orange juice. Then go lay down on your left side for 30 min. If still nothing go to l&d right away.

have you tried just pushing on her or anything like that. sometimes when he doesn't move a lot I do that just to make sure he'll still move, but he's slowed down a lot here lately.

It's 1:30 am here. Anyone got any suggestions on how to make her move before I head to the er?

She normally wakes me up and soda makes her go crazy. I'm laying here on my side and nothing. Seriously about to head to the ER. I've felt maybe 5 movements since yesterday and nothing since 7pm
