Anytime! Hope that was helpful for you! Just make sure the baby kicks at least 10 times in a row. Check at any hour in the day and chose a timing that you know he's awake and just monitor it. If you don't feel him all day try laying on your side and tap on your tummy and see if he moves. If he doesn't then get checked out! Thank you very much, and likewise to you! :)

Thank you! I was getting really worried but he does move after I eat or when I lay on my side like right now he's moving. I hope everything goes good for you and your baby:)

Hello, I experienced the same thing. I am currently 34 weeks and it's my first pregnancy and about 1 1/2 weeks ago I went to the labor and delivery department at my hospital and they monitored my baby. The doctor spoke to me and told me to not be scared if the baby doesn't move as much as before but to also be concern. She said as you get bigger and bigger and weeks get closer to your due date the baby has less space to move. Also, she mentioned how I should check after every meal if the baby moves. She recommends laying on the side. Another thing she mentioned was that you should lay on your back when sleeping. That causes you to get less oxygen to the baby since you have a muscle pressing on your back that doesn't allow as much oxygen to flow through. So you should always sleep on your side and your baby should be moving.
