D3! Scared out my mind!

kamh1992 · December 2015

So I'm 3 days from my due date and I'm terrified. I haven't dilated any and my baby boy is starting to move less and less. It's scaring me because aren't the supposed to move at least 5 times pr something. I'm a young mom and this is my guest child so I don't really keep track of his movements but I do know that he's moving less. So any advice on what I should do .

If you're concerned, always call your doctor. However, as baby runs out of room he will move less. Try drinking some juice and lying down to feel some movement.

I always feel my baby boy move more when I lay down, so maybe try that?

I second what PPs said. Im getting induced right now & one of the reasons is decreased fetal movement yesterday (40w+3 today) So it is important to tell your dr. But I suspected baby was quiet b/c I was active. Walked 4 miles & spent the rest of the day moving stuff & cleaning. Of course as soon as I get to the hospital & lay down for a few hours baby is all over the place like a jumping bean! Try drinking a glass of juice & relaxing for an hour, if you don't get 10 movements in that hour, I'd definitely call the dr. Though it's not a bad idea to call them anyway, & maybe do this check again, maybe twice a day. Good luck!
