movement

How long consecutive days can baby not move for before it needs checking out? I'm 22weeks+5 and baby hasn't moved for 4days..

Yes you should count kicks and the baby should kick so many times in an hour I would go to labor and delivery just to be safe

I am 3wks and I'm very constipated what should I do

It's somewhat likely your baby is moving and you aren't feeling it.  

Healthy 22 week fetuses move a LOT - and if it's truly not moving,  there is a significant problem.

If you already drank something very sugary and laid on your left side and still didn't feel any movement,  it's time to call your doctor this morning or go to the ER if your doc doesn't have Monday morning hours.

My midwife said all babies have different patterns so you want to pay attention to patterns out of the ordinary for your particular baby. I think 22 weeks is too early for regular, predictable movement. My ultrasound tech suggested dining a glass of oj (it spikes mom's blood sugar) and go lay down in a quiet room to focus on baby if you're worried about not feeling.

My doc said 3. Anything after 3 I have to get it checked

Also try to drink something sweet, and lay on your left side. I also had that issue 2 weeks ago and I am 39 weeks. So it can happen at any point.

I generally feel him everyday and he's very active with strong movements, just these past few days there's been no movement only cramps.. But thank you for the advice! c:

You should feel baby move every day, do what ^^ said and then call your doctor if you don't feel anything. Sometimes this early you have to be really paying attention to feel them

Lay flat on your back and rub your belly  below your belly button, drink a ton of water, if your still don't feel anything call your Dr.
