  I am so sorry to hear it. I know at 22 weeks, fetal movement is so sporadic, its hard to tell. But use your instincts on this one. IF something feels weird, go to the doctor/ER.

  Good luck. Thoughts and prayers for you.

  I'm also 22 weeks and the fetal movement is different throughout the day. I would use a time where you know that the baby is consistently moving for me that would be the afternoon to use that as a point of comparison. Also, try some orange juice to see if baby responds. Give it a few minutes though, it doesn't always happen immediately with the juice or something really sugary.?

  I was in a minor fender bender with my first and my Dr. told me to go straight to l&d jut to be put on the monitor for an hour. Go with your gut.

   ETA: I was only 17/18 weeks at the time.

  I would say to trust yourself - you know your body and your baby.  Don't feel bad about being better safe than sorry.  GL and I hope you feel better - I'm sure baby's fine but do what you need to do to have peace of mind!

  I would recommend calling or heading in to the ER just to check up on things and ease your mind. I know that everyone says fetal movement is sporadic at 22 weeks; but I know, and I'm sure you do too, somewhat of a normal level of movement for your baby. If it feels less to you, just get checked out. What could it hurt?

  Just go in and have yourself and baby checked out.  Even if nothing is wrong, you will still feel better having proof that everything is okay.
