Question About Fetal Movement

Call your OB. That's what they're there for. They will help give you peace of mind.
I've heard drinking orange juice can get a baby moving. Try lying down on the couch or bed on your left side and just feel for a little while. Play some music with a nice base so the baby can feel it. I had one that loved Nine Inch Nails' album Pretty Hate Machine, the base was guaranteed to get movement.
You can get one of those heart monitors where you can listen for the heartbeat. While I would have a hard time finding the heartbeat sometimes it was always great at hearing the "thumps" as baby kicked around. When my kids were having a slow day I would use that for peace of mind to hear those thumps to know they were still moving around.

It is very wise of you to be paying attention to her fetal movements. I had an emergency c-section after not feeling my son overnight and not being able to rouse him at the hospital after drinking juice, eating candy, and having my belly nudged for a long time with the ultrasound probe. My son's cord was wrapped around his neck and they got him out just in time.

So, if you are worried, drink a sugary drink like orange juice, go into your bedroom, lie down on your side and count the movements. You might have to jiggle your belly a bit to get her moving. If you don't feel anything after 30 min call your OB and ask them for their advice. They might have you come in and go on the monitor for a non stress test, or they might do an ultrasound.

I don't mean to worry you with my own story, because I have also had 2 completely healthy pregnancies, but better safe than sorry.

If you look at one of my recent posts, I had/ am having the same concern about my second. If the pattern hasn't changed, it seems like its not a problem. My doctor says every baby is different. But if you literally feel nothing for part of a day, definitely call again for the nonstress test.

They are all different. Maybe her personality is that of a quiet good little girl! Wouldn't that be nice, a nice calm baby who is very content. I carried one that was like a wild man! This kid never stopped. He was born that way and fast forward 35 years he is the same. Always on the go. My girls
were basically quiet and still are very laid back. My other son had long long periods of quiet and then would move around just to reassure me he was Ok. This kid slept for 12 hours from two weeks on. Definitely talk to your OB. I am sure everything is ok and your little girl is just a quiet one.

When you go, ask if you have an anterior placenta, I had that with two of my pregnancies, and it makes a huge difference on how much movement you feel.

They say you're "supposed" to feel at least 10 movements within a 24 hour period. However...from 34 weeks on I didn't feel my daughter move hardly at all...(maybe I was just busy, that's another thing to keep in mind, if you have a lot on your plate, sometimes you actually miss the movement) but she was born perfectly healthy and still is at 2 months! : ) I would definitely bring it up to your doctor though, I was a nervous wreck when I felt her slowing down, although I was told it was nothing to worry about towards the end (worry is my middle name), she will most likely reassure you. :) Just take time to really lie down and do your kick counts...one thing that helped my babe was to drink ice water...that would almost always get her going :), or playing music at your bump. Congrats and good luck mama!

I had this problem with my last 2 pregnancies. What seemed to get them moving was a brisk 30+ minute walk every day. The baby seemed to nap during the walk but later in the day they would almost always be more active than if I hadn't walked or exercised.
