Decreased movement.

kellmokellmo member
in 3rd Trimester
So I had my last appt. on tuesday and my OB said to monitor how much the baby was moving. She said he should be moving 10 times an hour, He does not move that much. His kicks and movements used to be so strong. Well yesterday and today I only feel slight movements. I DO feel him just not like before. I'm starting to get nervous that something is wrong. I tried drinking sugary stuff and eating things and it hasn't changed. But I am feeling him move. I'm thinking of calling L&D and seeing what they say.

    My doctor said its better to be safe. He would have me go to L&D and have a NST done. Good luck.

    I was just reading that at this point baby is so confined, that you may not feel BIG movements as you did before, but the frequency of movements/kicks should remain the same as it has been.  Have you noticed a decrease in number of movements, or just the scale of movement?

    Either way, a call to your doctor is always a good idea.

    I always thought it was 10 movements in 2 hours.... Hmmm I will have to go check this out. To be on the safe side I would call L&D just to make sure.

    see thats what i thought! my doctor said ten movements in 2 hours...but i have heard these ladies say 10 in 1 hour and i start to freak out!

    i called my doctor about this a few weeks ago and they told me to lie down after drinking some cold juice or water and count movements you should feel 20 in 2 hours. and she said even the slightest movement or even hiccup counts. so if u dont count that many then u should call your doctor so u can go in and they can monitor the baby.
