I'm 26 weeks pregnant and decreased fetal movement?

Question

I'm 26 weeks pregnant and a few days ago the baby was moving and kicking alot but now all of a sudden it doesnt move too much only like 4-5 times a day and barely.Ive also been tense and stressed because of some family problems do you think that's why? The heartbeat was fine when i went to the doctor on friday but why is she not moving or if she does it's really slowly and barely.Thanks!

Answer 1

As long as it is moving it is a good sign, babies have lazy days also where movement is minimal, bring it up at your next appointment and or call that is what your doc is there for..

Answer 2

Well it does happen. They go into a mood where they just want to sleep. So maybe that is what is happening. And I know how you feel. When I was pregnant I had a lot of family problems. And I was stressing a lot too. I would just try and not think about what is going on with your family. And just think about yourself and the baby. I know if seems selfish, but I had to do it too. And it helped.

Answer 3

oh man! you neeed to go to your OB/GYN! asap!

that time is when the baby should be moving alot more than that!!!

they will fit you in right away! your baby is always number one!!

Answer 4

Well at 26 weeks you should be able to feel the baby 8-10 times in a hour time frame, try to relax and maybe drink a little caffine and lay down and count the time you feel movemnet. If you feel it's low you should call your doctors ASAP
