Kick Counts

[Kayrosa93]

So ill be 20 weeks on Tuesday and ive started to feel my baby move since about 16 weeks . Some days she moves alot and some others only a little... but last night and this morning she hasnt moved at all :/ doctors said they dont count kicks till way later so i hope shes okay. Any suggestions?

You are still early . Babies move a lot some days and the next not as much. Especially being early like that. It's normal. Drinking cold water and laying on left side . Eating sweets or having a little caffeine should help some too. If not just wait about an hour or two of trying and if nothing you could always call the doctor . But it's very normal in early stages for movement not to be constant. Even know , I'm 32 weeks and my son has days like that.

I'm 34 weeks and my baby goes days without moving, atleast to where I can feel. It could be a sleepy baby, or the position of your placenta. Try not to worry too much! If no other symptoms little one is probably just relaxing.

Okay well i wont worry about it to much. Thanks for the info

Even after 20 weeks my doc would say if I don't feel her every 2 hours  (i think) to go to the hospital. It really isn't that serious, my baby didn't always move every 2 hours, she was most active at night and early morning and in between the day not so much. I was never concerned, she is currently 6 mo old and was born healthy as can be!

I'm the same.. 20 weeks today and I haven't felt much movement today also experiencing light cramps in my tummy but my friend said it could just be my tummy stretching.

You're still early. Its common to not feel regular movements until around 28 weeks.

I'm 27wks and sometimes baby just wants to chill. its been days before then I get beat up later when baby starts unusuallyat 3am (I work full time and my sleep is all I do other than work)

Okay ill try to eat something sweet and @meshe1234, what is I&D? And when i called the hospital where im delivering, the emergency part, they also said they dont count kicks right now because i asked if i should come in and thats when they said no . So i just didnt know what to do,

[Meshe1234]

Just to be on the safe side I would go to l&d just to make sure everything is ok I'm surprised ur Dr didn't tell you that

Try and eat something sweet then just lay down and focus on her..
