miscarriage

Is it possible to lose your baby at 26+4? I haven't really felt my baby move since Wed. and I've had some mild cramping in my lower abdomen, but I'm not bleeding or spotting. Please comment. I'm a ftm and I'm worried. Please no smart remarks or judgement

Babys schedule can change!  I had that happen during my mid to end of 20-30 week and it freaked me out because I wasn't feeling him when I was used to it. However, just try those tricks before you panic.  As long as you feel something you are okay.  Your baby can be moving without you feeling it. I am at 35 weeks and my boy has become so lazy and running out of room!

Did you try pushing on your belly a little, shining a flashlight on your belly, I get in the shower and let the water hit my belly and my daughter moves. If nothing works go to L&D.

I've been told if I'm worried go hospital and have it checked out at any point I hadn't felt my baby move for a day and I had to go in as I was worried everything was fine luckily enough. But I'd definitely call the Doctor midwife or ho straight in the hospital and have your baby monitored they will keep you there 30mins or so to make sire it's fine

Like it's little to none. She normally moves a lot during the day especially around 5:30 6 a.m. and she hasn't done that. I didn't feel anything yesterday, and I haven't felt anything today so far and I ate a popsicle cause it was the only sweet thing we have and still nothing

Babies get lazy the bigger they grow. Some days they just sleep but if you get to concerned go to l&d and they will do a ultrasound. As long as you're not havebad contractions or leaking fluids or bleeding  u should be fine. Everything gets us ftm nervous lol.

I hope it works for you. Praying your baby girl starts moving like crazy after you eat the sweets

When you say really what do you mean? Like a few kicks but not much during the day or no movements at all?

I was just in l&d yesterday. My nurse told me that if you havent felt your baby move in three days to lay in a dark room on your left side and eat something sweet. If that doesnt get them moving to go in

It is possible to lose your baby at any point in your pregnancy, however after the first trimester the risk drops drastically. Usually at 28,weeks is when your Dr will discuss counting kicks and things with you, however if you are concerned give them a call. It can never hurt to call your Dr and speak with the or the nurse.
