I'm starting to lose it

I don't generally pay attention to when or how much the baby moves because I know that it does and I feel like I would know if something was wrong.  As always, my OB said yesterday to call if the baby isn't moving as much as normal and to eat and lay down and make sure I count 10 movements in an hour.  All of a sudden, I'm getting paranoid.  Last night after I ate, I swore the baby wasn't moving when it should have been.  Then it was moving plenty when I was laying in bed.  Now I've been at work since 8:30 and probably just wasn't paying attention but I started to think I hadn't felt the little guy or girl in a while.  I decided not to play around and I got a cup of coffee (what harm is it going to do at this point, right?) and I can feel an occasional movement or two, but not like it should be after a cup of coffee.  Am I just going crazy because I'm so afraid that something could go wrong at the very end?  I was just at the doctor's office yesterday.  I'll feel like a complete loon if I call right now and go in for no reason.

    this happened to me but early on - around 30 weeks and I was completely paranoid and didn't call my Dr.

    I mentioned it to him at the next appt. and he was borderline FURIOUS that I didn't call or go in to get checked out even if it turned out to be nothing (which it was nothing).  He said if I ever had concerns like that to call IMMEDIATELY.  

    So....I would call just in case, if nothing else to put your mind at ease.  IMHO.

    like PP said, in this circumstance, i'd rather be safe not sorry.

    Babies really stop moving around close to the end. There just isnt much room gir them to get around. Do a fetal kick test if you can. Bottom line though, if your gut tells you something, listen to it. Call your OB if you're at all concerned. They won't get mad.

    If you're not having quite as much movement, it could be a few different things.  But your OB is getting paid big bucks to be on call so CALL THEM!

    I have never really felt the baby move a whole lot.  I don't even think I have ever felt a kick, but it could be because of the fact I have no idea where anything is in there.

    I would just call to be safe if you still are not feeling much now.  But I have heard they dont move much before you have it, so who knows.

    Nat, I am sure your doctor wouldn't mind you calling and expressing your concerns.  That's what they get paid for!  And, getting checked out will ease your worrying...you don't need to be stressing right now!  Hugs!

    This has been going on my SIL's entire pregnancy. Everytime she is up and moving around the baby sleeps or doesn't move much, but as soon as she sits or lays down to rest the baby starts kicking and moving.  I didn't know that it was bad if the baby wasn't always moving.
