I'd get to the doctor to check up on her - she could be on her way soon, but she might not... Gawd, I sound so horrible and jumpy, don't I? I suppose I've heard/read too many stories these past few months...
Ah, it's stressful when they get all difficult and don't move for you!
Cold sweet drinks and poking are all I know. I know ther were times that DS went quiet for several hours and I worked myself up into a right mess. then, just as I was dispairing, he'd start up again.
Maybe call your doc/midwife and get some guidance, just for reassurance at least. Hopefully she'll be kicking up a storm again stoon.
They can go a little bit quiet before birth, kind of resting up I guess! But you should still be feeling some movements at least a few times a day. If you are concerned hun, ring your hospital/midwives and talk to them. They may want you to come in for monitoring or just tell you to lay down for a while and see if you feel anything. If you're worried though always better to get yourself checked out, I'm sure they won't mind.
it can be a little nerve racking when this happens. my bubba did that alot close to her birth, sometimes i could feel little hiccups instead of moving... goodluck with the bath, try and stay calm. And certainly a call to the Dr if you feel unsure, so you can feel reassured.
I used to drink ice cold strawberry milk - got her moving every time!
I was 26 week pregnant on boxing day and remember lying crying on the couch for most of the day because she didn't move at all - all day! Boy, I paid for it in the evening though, she came to life that night and I didn't get a wink of sleep!
The worry they put us through before they even make an appearance hey?
Oh i remember this with DD It makes me feel abit sick just thinking about it. I was about the same amount preg too....... They sure do like to worry us and that worry never goes away even after they are here lol
Firstly I cant tell what a relief it is to know others have struggled with this too- If my 'bubbles' doesn't move in a 2-3 hr period I begin to get stressed and anxious and can;t do anything until I feel movement.
Definatly cold water and lying down on my side works, but of late (past week or so) sometimes this doesn't even work. My theory is that bubbles legs and arms are facing my back now and seen I'm due now theres not much room for much movement, so now I feel for the hiccups (which happens daily)..Going for a brisk walk also works well.
HTH
I had this with Miss S. BU made me drink 500ml of ICEY cold water as quick as I could.
They say you should still be able to feel 10 really strong movements in a 12hr period towards the end give or take a couple.
Ways to get bub to move?
