with my first i still had 9 days to go and went a whole day without feeling movment everyone told me it was bub's getting ready to come and they were right because te next day she was born.. i think there is somthing in it, but your better being safe then sorry and calling the midwife just to make sure.... i got in trouble when i got to the hospital for not coming in sooner because my daughters heart rate was "flat" if your not feeling baby move then deffinatly get it checked out.
