Baby Kicks.

I am 30 weeks pregnant and can feel the baby move everyday. I also know his schedule and when does he kick a lot. But since yesterday I haven't felt him moving at all. Is this normal?! Do we go through days when we don't feel the baby moving?! Please help.

Sometimes it's normal and about 95% of the time baby is just taking a day off. However if you've tried laying down and having s cold glsss of orange juice or even soda (my OB says soda) and baby still doesn't give you 10 movements in an hour give your OB/Midwife a calll. They will most likely have you come in for a quick check. If you can't get ahold of them go to labor and delivery at your hospital and explain what you've told us. They will hook you up and monitor you for awhile.


Sometimes it's just baby facing a new way and he movements are hard to feel. And other times baby is perfectly fine just having a down day.

Try not to worry, I've had it happen multiple times with both pregnancies and everything was perfectly fine and a few days later baby was beating me up again

I drink cold fizzy drinks and kind of feel the baby. Like I lay down on the bed and kind of roll my hands around my tummy.. more times than not baby pushes back. I usually wait 2 hours then try again. If not, I call the obgyn. Usually it's baby taking a rest

Better to be safe than sorry. I would try different positions and fizzy drinks. If this doesn't work I'd get checked out definitely!! Plz don't take any risks . I am also 3 weeks and if I feel the baby hasnt moved for a couple of hours I do everything in my power to get a movement out of it.
Laying down on differant sides or flat usually helps!

Shall the baby moved now? If you notice baby not moving as normal you should call your midewife and get advice.
