What do you do to get baby moving when they are having a quiet day? Ta
Icey Icey cold sugar laden drink.
One thing that worked for me was some advice I got from a nurses. Shine a flashlight near the babies face
I use to have a big glass of ice cold water our something sugary, always got bub moving :)

Icey cold Apple juice.
Cold drink, lie down, palpate bubs a little is what always did the trick for me.
something cold and sugary, changing positions, sitting in the sun with your top off (think its simialr to the torch idea) and I've found if I accidentally sit my laptop on my tummy baby hates it and I get kicks (which is good I know having my laptop on my tummy cant be good for baby!)
Sitting on the couch, with my feet on the coffee table.
Salt and vinegar chips and chocolate always work (shame :)) and any icey cold drink - usually lemonade or OJ
Lying down with a sugary icy cold drink. I had one time when it didn't work for over 30 mins and worried me. Have you had a decrease in movements hun?? Bub could be getting ready to arrive and resting up but if you are worried and haven't felt usual movements I would call your hospy. :hug:
I agree with the others, cold things, although icey-poles seemed to work the best and I would need to eat 2 or 3.
An icy drink and lying on my side.
Playing music
Are you counting kicks?
Same as the girls, laying down with an ice cold drink.
Feel free to come jump on the girls tramp to see if that works :p
Floating in a nice cool bath worked for me too.
2nd all the above advise but I also put the cup which I had been drinking my icy drink from on my tummy. It was freezing but she didnt like it and soon got the boot of disapproval
Please go to get a check if you are concerned, the hospital doesn't mind, and certainly better than you stressing about it :)
At that stage for me, having avoided caffeine my entire pregnancy and while I was BFing DD (so no caffeine for more than 2 years!) I drank a glass of Coke and then lay down quietly. It worked for me.
I didn't realise you were so close to meeting your LO - looking forward to your BA :)
Lemonade on heaps of ice :)
Also an icy pole of some kind

icy cold drinks or pressing on my belly. actually, if i lie next to DS that always gets the baby going. and most of the time if i stop & lie down that gets it going as well.
maybe bub is conserving some energy at the moment?
I think its time to get into the BIRTH WARRIOR ZONE(Copyright of Sunny09 ;) hunni!
This is the chance you take to prepare your mind.
To make baby move a little, I used to have raspberry leaf tea, a few mouthfuls of coke (watch for heartburn) or give the belly a great big poke!
Like I said first off though, get ready. Thinking of you you AMAZING FREAKIN' AWESOME HIPPY GODDESS!!! xxxxxxx
How are you doing, hun? TBH my DD2 was quiet for about a week before birth. Call your m/w if you're worried. :hug:
I used to have a shower, or have a cool drink or poke my belly :)
I had an ice coffee kick frappe from maccas last night and omg BC went nuts on me!!
Hoti hope she is moving for you now and you're ok
*stalking*
I used to jiggle my belly or yell at it... :)
But, DD's head was always in the same spot and stuck out, so a few pokes in the head used to wake her up.
I know. I'm cruel.
It's funny how she loves to be tapped on the head.... It sends her into hysterical laughter..
*stalking.....hope its all good in the hood :)

There is a position I sit in, in which baby will always move around a lot. It is just sitting slightly reclined on a cushion on the couch but it always makes bubba push uncomfortably into my ribs. Maybe if you know a position yours responds to you can try that?
sitting with my legs up on the couch, leaning forwards always makes Ziggy squirm ... makes it tricky to get us both in a comfy position!!
A friend used to put on icepack on her belly where bub's spine was, to make them move - as she'd wriggle away from the cold.
thanks everyone, i think bub was just having a lazy day. has been moving around again tonight. Hopefully bub just conserving energy cos he/she knows it has an important journey soon. i see my midwife tomorrow.
glad all is going well, hope bubs has found the right spot and settled in ready for the big day. My DD's were quieter 1-2 days before their arrival
I should have added that once my baby moved from lying on the LHS to perfectly anterior I couldn't feel much at all from her. She was born that night.
i had this thought last night- here's hoping my LO has done the same thing.:
