    I was going to say the same as Beema, she has given you some good advise there. I had the same thing with DD and it all worked out ok.
    Once again as Beema said if you are worried it's always good to have the resuurence of seeing your Dr or talking to your midwife.
    Lets us know how you go with it all.

    Thanks Ladies,

    My Ob called me back & he didn't seem to concerned as I am still feeling some movement now and then, just not as much as before. He wants me to monitor it over the next 48hrs and if I'm still concerned he will give me a ref for an U/S.

    I think I will try the red cordial now, hopefully that will give bubs an energy burst and let me relax!!!

    Thanks Again

    i've had this happen to me as well.. sometimes they can change positions and start whacking somehwere where we can't quite feel. EG, He/she might have flipped and be punching at your placenta, which you might not be able to feel much.
    Try the red cordial and keep an eye on it, definately keep your ob informed! And good on you for being so intune with what your little one is up to in there!!

    Jaffaz I am due the same day as you

    While pregnant with my first son in NZ, I used to hassle my midwife as I was constantly worried about his movements or lack of. She told me thast anything over 10 movements is considered normal. So she suggested I make a kick chart and closely moniter the movements I felt. Sure enough it was more than 10 but it is something I still follow now when this little lady decides to have what I think is a quiet time.
    Anything icey cold works for me as well. Fantastic excuse to put your feet up on the couch with a big bowl of your favourite icecream I say. But then I hardly need an excuse!!
