    as a guide...

    you ought to feel one movement per hour
    when midwives ask how many movements...we mean all of them

    28-32 wks is when the baby is noticeably really active...lots of room to move and big enough to be felt by mum

    when you are laying low so does your baby...some days when we are busy we feel less as we are less observant and also a busy mum rocks a baby to sleep...

    if at any stage you are concerned or worried you have not felt your baby move...have a sweet drink (unless diabetic) as this gives the baby a sugar rush and boosts subsequent movement...if nothing or worried still, ring your DR or just pop in to the hospital to have a listen to your baby's heart beat

    if in doubt Yael, act on it

    hope you are feeling better
