movement

I am 27 wks, 28 on sat. My baby had been practically non stop moving the last few wks, I love the feeling cause it makes me know that he is alright. The last 2 days, I feel as if he is barely moving at all. I just had a Dr apt on tue and his heart rate was perfect. I'll feel little kicks and flips here and there but nothing major that makes my stomach really move like it had been. Idk if I should be worried or not. Any suggestions or anything from you ladies?

Something sugary, like pop, could get baby moving.

I was drinking iced tea most of the day  cause its the only "juice" that doesn't give me heartburn and a would feel a few little flutters now and again, but nothing strong like I had been feeling. I'm about to drink a cup of ice water and see if it does anything. Idk if  I even maybe felt 6 kicks all day today. I think I might call my Dr in the morn to ease my nerves

Try drinking an ice cold glass of water, or something sweet like cold juice. Im 33 weeks abd my little guy does it to me all the time scares me so much. The doctor told me that they like to see roughly 6 movements in two hours. I also read today that the baby sleeps 90-95% of the time

I've considered getting one!! I think having a doppler at home and being able to check whenever I want is very reassuring

Yeah I have an apt on mon and plan on asking the dr then. I'm  just concerned at how quickly it happened. I tried every trick I know today, playing music on my belly, pushing him around a Lil bit, shining a flashlight on my belly...

Im going through it too. Last week  my baby was really active,this week  it's  chilling. They do sleep a lot so maybe that's it. U can count kicks if that makes you feel better. I think I read 10 kicks within 2hrs is good. I have a doppler so if I get worried I can  check

The same thing happened to me I'm 21 weeks I was told that as time gets closer and baby gets bigger the less room they have and they tend to have lazy days I wouldn't be to worried unless it goes on for more than a week then I would call
