I've been feeling baby kick like crazy these last couple weeks....but I didnt feel her all day yesterday & I havent felt her today... Should I be worried?
I'd have something to eat or drink with sugar or caffeine to see if that helps. maybe you were just busy and didn't notice? Me? I'm paranoid and call the OB at least once a week, so that's what I'd do. It would at least ease your mind.
I went through that over the weekend. I was convinced there was something wrong because I had been feeling very strong and regular movements and then felt little to nothing for almost 2 days. (I had a few "maybe" movements, but not the definitive type I had gotten used to.)
I called the nurse line - they said to drink something sugary and caffinated and then lie on my left side for an hour with a hand on my stomach. They said that if I felt 4-5 movements, everything was fine. I didn't, so I called back. She talked to the on-call doc, and he said that prior to 24 weeks, you can have periods of inactivity, or what is percieved as inactivity, based on a number of factors (including placenta and babies positioning).

Good luck!
Thank you! This helped alot! I did have those "maybe" movements but not like the normal ones. I will definitely give it today & if I'm not feeling better I will call doc tomorrow. Thanks again.
