How long should you leave it before calling?

[Pretty Butterfly]

Yep, something icy cold, even fizzy. Lay down. If no movements in half hour, call your middie or hossy and let them know. You can go up then and have a monitor put on.

It is completely normal hon, but you need to check for your piece of mind!!!

slurpees or slushies work really well.
I went in to the hospoital for monitoring 3 times in third trimester with DS. Never be worried about calling them. Its their job.

if you've been really active then bub wont move around as much (or at least you wont notice it). As the others have said, just sit and relax and have a cold drink.
I found when I was pregnant that putting something really cold on my belly often caused some movement. You could try that too.

I used to eat ice, but honestly if it was me and i was worried i would call them and see what they say, tell them how many times you have felt bubs move, if they are worried they will tell you to come in, if not they will tell you to wait however long and see how it goes. I would call them its not going to hurt.

I ate jelly babies or another sugary sweet to get my girls going and It worked for me everytime. Im sure bubs is having a rest and will be back kicking the daylights out of you in no time

Thanks for all your suggestions ladies . It's such comfort knowing I have all the lovely BB girls for support!

I had a bit of a lie down, and after a little while bubs started up a bit. He's given me a couple of decent movements now, so I'm feeling much, much better! He's still not being as active as he normally would, but I guess he's just having a quiet day.
