I feel dumb even asking this...

But LO has been super quiet today. Kick counts don't start until 28 weeks...right? I feel like I am so close to that mark, but I also don't want to be too paranoid. Thoughts? TIA.

    sit down and bend forward as much as you can and wait for a minute or so. Squishing my LO always worked! If not, ICE cold water, lay on your left side for a while etc. If still nothing, call and ask what they'd like you to do!

    Try talking to LO too.

    My LO hasn't been very active today, and I was so exhausted when I woke up that I can't recall if I felt her when I first woke up (although its too early for regular movement, she still seems to get active as soon as I get up in the am). I was gettingworried, so I ate lunch and sat on the couch for awhile. Still not feeling her, I talked to her and asked her to please kick a little at least. She finally did but it still felt lighter than normal...however, she's off on my right side which is a new place for her (since I've been feeling her at any rate) so I think that may be why I'm not feeling her as much today...

    Orange juice will also get LO moving and relax.  If nothing happens after half an hour call your doc.

    My OB didn't have me do kick counts, but he said to just pay attention to when LO normally moves. For me, LO moves after I eat and when I play loud music and sing badly in the car. Embarrassed  If yours isn't moving according to when he/she normally moves, call your OB if you are really worried. Some days LO will be quieter than others, though. That is normal.

    My OB's office says that kick counts don't officially start until 28 weeks. However, since I had been feeling LO so consistently he had me start them around 24-25 weeks. I would drink something sugary like OJ then lay down for a few minutes and see if that gets him going.
