Do you try to "wake up" your LO when he's less active?

When he's not moving a lot and I worry sometimes I gently poke or prod at my belly to make him wake up.

I can seriously imagine him saying, "I'm fine mom, leave me alone." Does anyone else do this?

Guilty!

So glad I'm not the only one! His movement pattern has definitely changed over the past 2 weeks. He's super active ALL day and now quite in the morning and at night. It used to be the total opposite, so I freak myself out sometimes.

Yes! LOL...

Same here. Yesterday I even went as far as to eat something I knew would make him move or wake up and laid on my left side for a bit just to make sure he was still ok in there! lol Oh I'm a bad mom already.

Yes, but it doesn't usually work too well. I feel her all the time when I'm at home and not so much at work.

Guilty of it last night. He is always active at night, but last he wasn't, so I got a little worried and therefore I started poking around until I felt some movement. I think he has just moved over to the other side of my tummy and I'm not feeling the kicks as much.

I give her a little poke if I haven't felt her move in the timeframe she usually is awak. And I love playing the game where I poke her and she kicks back. Smile

I do it all of the time. The other day DH was shaking my stomach because he wanted to feel him kick. Mason gave him a nudge like 'leave me alone'. It was too funny.

Oh yes i do it too....DH really gets him going though. Every night he rubs my belly and pokes him and the little guy will give him a huge kick (or butt) in the face. It makes DH so happy tho.
