Aa
OMG GOSH
I KNOW I ALWAYS POST HERE ABOUT MY FETAL MOVEMENTS BUT TODAY I HAVE FELT NOTHING! I TRIED LAYING DOWN AND EVERYTHING! I AM ALMOST 25 WEEKS! I DON'T WANT TO CALL MY DOC BECAUSE THE DAYS NOT OVER BUT IM REALLY FREAKING OUT! PLEASE HELP!
I would suggest getting a doppler as well. Babies need their privacy too. =) That's what my baby's father says every time I get scared and want to listen or look at my baby. The way that alaysha described the fluid and kicking makes perfect sense. Don't stress too much as this put stress on your little one too. Yes, it's always easier said than done I know! I am right there with you.
I know you are really worried but I honestly wouldn't feel movement every day until about 28-30 weeks. Go to L&D they'll check to make sure everything is fine that way you aren't worrying.
You've probably heard this before but as far along as you are right now the baby is still small enough that if it gets into a position in there you might not feel it kick. Think of it like this... when you kick in a pool of water the further you have to go the lighter it feels. As you get further along there wont be as much fluid in there plus the baby wont be able to hide anymore which is why you feel stronger sharper movements. I would try to calm down if I was you like BabyHardiman said lay on your left side drink a cold glass of water and see what happens. If all else fails you can go to L&D and they can check on the baby for you. What you also might want to consider doing is getting a doppler so that you can listen to your babies heartbeat which might reassure you a little. Hope this helps some.
The baby may just be sleeping. Lay on your left side and massage your belly, this may wake them up. =)
Can I ask what your build is? Your body type? Maybe the baby is faced differently right now and you just can't feel the movement.
