Haven't felt her today :(

Mrs. Diss · August 2009

I only started feeling her a week ago and it's never been consistent, but I usually feel her by now, it's after 2 pm! Am I worrying for nothing?

Try drinking a glass of orange juice. Maybe the sugar will help.

I've started feeling our baby recently and for some reason he/she loves car rides. Maybe try that?

Def try eating or drinking some sugary! Gatorade or oj used to do the trick for my LO! I wouldnt worry though...it's still early.

Mrs. Diss · August 2009

I know it's early. I just can't help but worry. I had a glass of soda with some caffeine a little while ago. Still nothing.

Do you have a doppler? Maybe she's just snoozing.

No, I don't. I wish I did though. She could be, I know she sleeps a lot, it's just weird for me to have not felt her yet. I really thought I would worry less at this point ...

I know...the worrying never seems to end. I would give it to the end of the day, after you've eaten, then maybe call your OB. Sorry you have to stress! :-(

Mrs. Diss · August 2009

Thanks, I will. If by tomorrow I haven't felt her, I'll call my OB.

My little guy was doing this as well. Off and on. I would go an entire day with no movements and then the next just a few. I have read about this all over the net and asked my Md about it and it is normal for LO to have lazy days as they call them. I would even try drinking something sugary and get no reaction from him still.

When I was pg with my daughter we actually had to go in cause I hadn't felt her move... they had me drink painfully cold ice water... that really got her kickin, must have made her uncomfortable... but still it is pretty early, if I were you I would sit down, relax try orange juice and really cold water, don't get too worried, but just to put your mind at ease maybe call your doctor in the morning... but don't worry, it is early...

Right around where you were I was not feeling my LO every day. I thought I should, but I didn't. I would get worried and listen on the doppler, and I could hear him moving, but couldn't feel it. At that point her movements could still be so subtle that you won't feel every single one. It's also very normal for babies to have quiet days....just like us they have days where they just don't feel like moving a whole lot so they don't! Really, don't worry about it. You're right in that time where sometimes baby can be really strong and sometimes really lazy!
