hi everyone,

im a little worried, i havnt felt LO move much today. i dont know if its because i havnt been taking much notice or what.

LO has moved a little but i havnt had many big kicks.

can i do anything for it to give me a good kick so i know its alright. x

You can try to drink a glass of cold water, and lay down on your back for a bit. I find my LO always wiggles away after a meal.

i have drank loads of water today.

ill have to give it a go and see.
i would go and lay on bed but i might fall asleep. x x

Well, hmmm, maybe your LO is jsut having a lazy day. I know mine did the other day. Just a bit of wiggling back and forth.

I always go for a glass of fizzy drink or drink a coffee really quick to get mine going on days like this.
Failing that ice cream works a treat and im addicted to ice lollies lol

I'm addicted to ice lollies too. Usually gets LO moving

Eat a big meal, and then if this is your first child lay down on your left side, that should do the trick. If not maybe a ringtone from your cellphone will wake him up? Try putting it right against your belly and moving it around.

ok thanks girls ill give them a go.

LO is moving abit but not kicking me as much.

glass of caffine coke really quick. worked when I got worried.

You are supposed to be able to feel 10 wiggles/flutters/kicks etc in one hour. if you don't try eat/drink and then try again. If after several hours and several attempts you still havent got to ten, then you should call your mw.

Official advice i got from my MW.

Hope he/she perks up!

oh and a normal baby stops kicking so much after 28 weeks because of lack of space. Most babies have quiet days too, so I am sure you are fine!
