20 wks pregnant and haven't felt baby move in a few days?

Question

I feel him move alot and then for the past few days he hasn't moved that much at all.I'm a first time mom and I'm trying not to freak,is my baby ok???

Answer 1

babies sleeping pattern vary, however when u dnt feel baby moving as much or at all for 24 hours ur best to go get monitored just to make sure evrything is ok

Answer 2

dont wory hun. some people feel the movement at 15 weeks some dont till 18, I cant believe the woman who responded b4 me that 24 weeks was the first time she felt it. Your baby probably wont have consistancy with movement but as long as you feel something each day you should be fine. Just mention at your next doctors visit that you noticed a decrece in activity. Good Luck  

Answer 3

yes your baby will move when he or she wants to  

Answer 4

Baby's have lazy days too! But if it has been days since you've felt anything and could feel the baby before I'd call the doc.

Answer 5

Most likely this is totally normal, but I agree with the last post, if your baby has been pretty active until now, call the dr. They can always do a stress test if needed.

Also, my dr always recommended this, lie down and have a glass of water, don't move around a lot, and see how many times in an hour your baby moves. This is good information for the dr as well, it will help them determine if you need to come into the office.

Answer 6

Try drinking something sweet, like a little bit of pop, or koolaid. If that doesnt stimulate baby to move within an hr I would make a trip the the ER, I wouldnt wait on making a Drs app.!

Answer 7

Yes if you are concerned then ask someone who knows.If you are in UK then call NHS direct-its free and they will advise.

Answer 8

It's okay if youre worried... if you want to call the doctor I say do it. Its your baby and your body. The doctor can check the fetal heart rate and make sure there is nothing wrong.

Answer 9

My baby is lazy today too! I think she is just taking it easy. I haven't gone days without feeling her since week 16 or 17 she loves to kick!

If you are really worried lay flat  on your back and see if it will move then and try ice on your belly too. You can always eat lots of sugar and that should wake her up!

Answer 10

Yes the baby is ok. Drink some chocolate milk and lie down for a minute. the baby will move. Also 20 weeks is kind of early to feel the movement for a first time mom. I felt it when I was 24 weeks.

Answer 11

Go get a sonogram of your baby at the hospital to check if it is ok

Answer 12

if you are worried go get checked out

Answer 13

try laying on your left side for a little bit (this gives baby optimal circulation) if you still dont feel anything call the doctor just to be safe...maybe he's just not too active now?? hopefully all is well!! i would be scared to death!!! best of luck to you  and your baby!!! =)

Answer 14

You should feel your baby move several times a day. I would call the doctor and see about an appointment.
