  Drink something cold and see if you get some movements. You can never go wrong with calling!

  Lay on your left side and drink cold water. Look for the 10 kick counts in an hour. If then you end up short then call. If you've been busy all day it's possible you missed some kicks

  Drink something cold/sugary and lay down. If you're worried, call. LO didn't move much for me 2 days ago, and kicked my ass yesterday. I think i have bruises from all the movement

  Agree with PPs....don't get too worked up, just try and lay down and relax. That's when my LO is the most active...when I'm relaxing...go figure! Good luck, and as always call if you have any doubts!

  This happened to me last Thursday. I was 38 weeks and felt little movement all day. Laid down drank kolaid, gave it an hour and nothing. So we called and went in. I'm sure If you call they will tell you to come in and check you out. We ended up staying over night for monitoring since we still had no movement after being at the hospital for several hours. Two ultrasounds and all night monitoring later, they sent us home. Baby had some decelerations so that's why they kept us. I'm glad we went because I would have been freaking out all night! Good luck and hope you feel baby moving soon!

  Lately my LO has been really active one day and calm the next and so on and so on. Try poking your belly a little and eat something sugary, drink cold cold water, and lie down. Give it some time and count kicks. I wouldn't worry too much. Just relax for a little bit.

  Didn't need to call!
  Drank cold water and ate rainbow chip icing out of the can (judge me) LO started thumping around, maybe even the hiccups, then was stretching arms and feet at the same time. He was probably just sleeping and I riled him up! Definitely got his 10 kicks in like 5 minutes at that point.
  Dh felt and saw him moving so we both felt better. Went for a walk and had contractions the entire time! Keep practicing LO it's almost time to get out of there!
  Thanks ladies. Glad it seems to still be common to have crazy active days and then sleepier ones. I know this but when I have to constantly reassure dh I can't help but have some doubt!
