Fetal movement @ 23 weeks?

Posted by admin
momie_2bee asked:

I’m 23 weeks and the baby isn’t as active as he was 2 weeks ago, I feel him move maybe 3-4 times a day at the most, i have a fetal heart monitor I rented from babybeat.com and the baby’s heatr rate is always good around 150 bpm. My doc says as long as the heart rate is good then movement isn’t that important, I was wondering if anyone else went thru this at almost 6 months, I lost a baby at 20 weeks due to an umbilical cord accident so I worry about the movement, I already know to drink something sweet or cold but it doesn’t really work, any advice would be great, thanks

      The larger the larger the baby gets the larger the larger the less room it has to move around.

      CALM DOWN…STRESS WON’T HELP ANYTHING. AS LONG AS YOU ARE FEELING SOME MOVEMENT AND THE HEARTRATE IS OK…THEN THE BABY IS PROBABLY JUST FINE. i KNOW YOU ARE SCARED…I MISCARRIED TRIPLETS AT 16WEEKS LAST DECEMBER. KEEP IN MIND THAT AS TIME GOES ON, YOUR BABY GETS BIGGER AND THE MOVEMENTS CHANGE. WHAT FELT LIKE KICKS AND FLUTTERS BEFORE MAY BE MORE OF A ROLLING AND TURNING FEELING NOW. CHANCES ARE THAT YOU ARE TOO BUSY MOVING AROUND YOURSELF
      (WHICH MAKES BABY SLEEP MORE) TO NOTICE THE LITTLE MOVEMENTS.
      JUST TRY TO RELAX AND ENJOY YOUR PREGNANCY.
      GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS.
