Hi, im 24 weeks & 3 days. My baby would move constatly but 2 days ago right after having sex i got sharp pain (like cramps) in the middle of my stomach. Since then i havent felt my baby move. Has this happened to anyone?  Any tricks/suggestions on to make the baby move? Please help my bf & I are very worried :'(

Whenever I want my baby to move he doesn't do anything lol I'm like please!! But once I lay down to get ready for bed or just trying to relax he starts doing backflips!

Orange juice is like crazy good at getting them active in there. That's what they'll give you to drink at the hospital before they do a nst

Sometimes the baby just needs rest! Try ice and some loud noise... always gets my lil one going!

Thank you. And ladies i dranked icy cold water and cold coffee. I tried a lot of this and nothing! Once my bf got home from work he laid his head on my tummy and started taking to the baby asking her to move and guess what?  She moved!! We cried of relief. She sure listens to daddy cause she didnt when i asked her lol. Thank you foe your advice though (:

My Dr also told me not to worry about movement till 25-26w unless iv gone more then 48hrs without feeling anything. Try a glass of ice cold oj. It gives me MASSIVE heartbeat but it normally does the trick. It the natural sugar in it. Drink that or whatever 100% juice u.may have any lay on ur back or left side and see if it helps. Also try to remember ur lil one is still small so u.may not feel every movement and baby are just like us and sometimes they have their lazy days too :-)

Try drinking something sweet and lay on your left side...DRs. usually don't have you start doing kick counts until around 28+ weeks because baby's are still small and movements are inconsistent so if yourworried call ur Dr. Or go in to be monitored to put your mind at ease :)
