Failed kick counts for the first time

thatoneredhead

Hes having a slow day which was fine, but even on his slow days I can always get my kicks. Today I got 4 in our hour and a half.

So I called and they wanted me to come in. He moved 1x at l&d, but his heartrate was great and I was having contractions every 3-4 minutes but they werent painful and not doing much (1cm 70% effaced). So no baby before/on his due date but hes healthy so I dont care! Hes moved a little since but not much.

If hes not going to move alot anymore its going to be a long week.

Have you tried drinking OJ or iced water before doing your counts?

Also, I have noticed a lot of subtle movement that I can only feel with my hand in my belly. Maybe you can try that.

It is normal for movement to change/ reduce towards the end, but it is good that you are keeping an eye on it.

Cereal always gets him going as does cold water and neither of those worked. I hope hes just out-growing his little home.

 This is the same for me.  She really doesn't do much "kicking" just more stretching out trying to make room in there and a lot of times now I have to have my hand on my belly to feel anything.
