Well, I was just wondering at what point you should start counting movements. I was feeling my little man everyday, at least 30 times a day last week, and for the past few days.. about 3 days, the movement has subsided, and I only feel him like 3 times a day.. He doesn't even kick me when I lay on my belly and he doesn't wake me up at night anymore, even after I eat he doesn't kick. I'm not worried, I know he's alive I feel him sometimes just very rarely, I was just wondering if he may be in distress.. Should I go to Triage?

I'm not sure myself. Really haven't counted movements personally, as long as I feel her moving at least once a day I'm pretty okay with it (a lot of times I find myself tuning out the movements, especially when I'm busy).

Oooh.. okay thanks.

I am not sure what to say to you as I am in the same situation.....my beanie seems to moving less too in the past couple of days. I am getting movements but just not as much as before. I was at the midwife yesterday and heard beanies heartbeat and I have felt some movements today but they are less. I am trying not to worry (difficult though). I think if I went for a whole day without movements I would go to the hospital and get it checked out.

to you. Perhaps our babies are having a wee rest?

I've also been worried as my baby has been moving around less the last couple of days (although I have felt him/her move at least a few times each day). It's really hard not to worry, isn't it?

It's still two weeks till my next scan so hopefully baby will start wiggling lots again soon and put mummy's mind at ease.

Guess what - my baby just called me a lier by doing a little dance! Must have liked the maple danish I just ate.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your little ones perk up too

I had the same thing... Non stop movement for like a week (all day every day) and then three days of next to nothing..

Everything is basically back to normal now though

Can you buy or borrow a stethascope? Maybe having one and being able to hear the heart beat will help ease your mind?

I think baby sometimes goes through growth spurts that make them a bit sleepy. Then they get so big that they can't move around as much as before. As long as you are feeling baby once a day I think it is fine. I don't remember worrying so much about it, but that could be my preggo brain not working as usual. Oh yeah, they do the same thing when they are born. They will be really active for a day or two and then sleep a lot for the next few days.
