when to call the doctor???

First time mommy, so always worried! I'm 26w3d and so far smooth sailing. I'm just wondering when would it be a good time to call the doctor if you haven't felt the baby in awhile? I always feel my little boy at least every two hours, so I'm just trying to take precautions in case something goes wrong.

Drink a sugary drink like orange juice, lay on your left side for about an hour. You should feel baby move then if not call dr.

Just had a look it says roughly  5-10movements a day at least.. but not a general solid guidelines at your stage of gestation...at 28weeks they start a thing called kick count where you should feel x ammount per day...babies do have quiet days but if you're worried call your doc.. they take lack of movement v seriously and will probably see you asap xxx

I think they say if its less than ten times a day..not 100% but I'm sure if you googled it you'd find the answer x
