Baby movements - little worried

Have you tried lying on your side ? sometimes that will make my baby move, (he kicks the side im lying on )

Often when you are busier, you don't notice them as much
also remember baby has sleep /wake cycles in the womb, she may just be resting , but you will know her best , and If you think by now she'd be moving , call your mw and she may be able to get you in to hear babies heart beat , to give you some peace of mind

My babies only ever seemed to move when I wasn't so if you have been busy this morning and moving alot then maybe baby was just enjoying the ride. Have you been sitting down for long? Maybe if you sit down for a while baby will start to move.

I think generally you should have 10 movements in a day which for me wasn't very many as Jack would often give 10 movements in one go. So you really do have all day to get those movements.

In saying all that though I do know how worrying it can be when you don't feel them move for a while so . If it will put your mind at ease then I would definately suggest calling your mw

ETA: for shocking spelling!

My rule (that I'm hopeless at listening to) is that if you're worried, call the MW. They'll probably say 10 kicks in 24 hours, but when you're not feeling any when you normally would feel them, 24 hours is a long time to wait. Often you can just pop in for a doppler and that relieves the stress. Hugs - I know how stressful it is.

Definitely call your MW, Kaz. I'm sure things are fine in there but there's no point in worrying

Kaz it's not usually anything to worry about but it is very relieving to go have a quick doppler/scan check and hear the heartbeat again.

Kaz- I had this just the other week and was freaking out....my normally very active bubba went very quiet indeed so I went to see my mw...and we heard  nice strong heartbeat! Just turned out she had moved and was probably facing inwards kicking me lol. It was very scary though and you're totally doing the right thing getting it checked ASAP.  I hope everything is ok!

Im really glad to hear that Kaz.
Welcome to motherhood, its forever having your heart walk outside your body , they are adept in the art of scaring us

MW at hospital found it quite funny with how quickly baby woke up and protested! - she did tell me off about worrying about coming in though and reminded me that they would rather see me than have me sitting at home worrying - lovely lot they were!

Guess i dont need to go on the hospital tour on Monday - got a accidental one :)
