So I have been sick the past week and for the last couple days I have felt not as much movement. My OB isnt in on Friday and I just dont know what to do. I feel him its just not as much. What do you ladies think? TIA

At this point if anything is really concerning go get him checked out! Hope all turns out well.

Call. They won't mind and it will put your mind at ease. This is what you pay them for. I hope everything turns out to be fine. Update when you can.

I agree with the previous posters. Call your 24 hour nurse line or your clinic directly and talk to a nurse or doctor even if your specific doctor isn't in.

It will be worth it for the peace of mind, even if it turns out that baby was just taking it easy for a few days. (Which obviously is what we all hope.) Good luck!

If you are hesitant to call, try kick counts first. Drink a glass of orange juice and lay down on your side for an hour focusing on movements. If he has 10 you should be fine. But certainly if you are worried go get checked out at the hospital. OB triage should be able to check him out. Just make sure to call your doctor first so they can let the hospital know. Someone at your drs office has to be on call.

Thanks ladies. I did a kick count and I got 10 in an hour I just wish it was more. There are days where hes crazy and then I get these 2 so I freak out

He is moving more now. He probably was like My God lady... stop pushing on me! Im sleeping!

I've heard from some other ladies that when mom is under the weather, baby can feel a little sluggish too and may not be as active. That could explain it a little. But I also agree with PP that if you're concerned, a phone call doesn't hurt. I hope you are feeling better soon.

It is nervewracking not being able to see them! I'm glad he's getting more active!

I dealt with this last week. When I was sick, it felt like he slowed down too. I would just drink juice and lay down to try and bug him

He started moving around more this week.

My doctor only has 2 doctors and you get your pick from the beginning. When closed on Friday they will send you to L&D since no one is in

I would get it checked out. I knew Kolt wasn't moving as much, and I tried to tell myself he was running out of room. I know now he wasn't moving because he was sick. It doesn't hurt to to make sure.

Hope you're ok LB!

gregsgurl81304 · May 2014

Oh my LB I can't believe I am just now seeing this. I hope all is ok. Sounds a bit of what I had at the beginning of the week, but better to be safe than sorry and I hope you get the chance to get checked out. Glad to hear LO is still moving around for you just please keep us posted and I hope you get to feeling better really soon.

Glad he's moving around more!! Same thing happened to me about a week ago and I was in tears bc I thought something was wrong

you just love him sooooo much!! But as PPs have mentioned the amount of movement slows down towards the end bc LO sleeps a lot more, so less movement is totes norms
