Usually my baby is pretty active and today she hasn't really been. She's moving tho I jus felt her move not too long ago. Could there b something wrong I'm 37 weeks long.
I agree with @lil_buggie_3! My OB told me to drink something cold and sweet - Orange juice, Apple juice, etc., or even soda (no diet). Then lie down in bed on your left side & count every little kick, poke, jab, or movement for one hour. If you don't reach 10 movements in one hour, call your OB if they have after hour phone service, & if not, call the obstetrics department at your hospital. They will advise you if you need to be checked out. Don't panic, but don't wait. Do your kick count & go from there. Best wishes, sweetie!!
@lil_buggie_3: Haha! I was totally just thinking that!! If you're craving a blue slushie, I might freak out! How far are you & when are you due? I'm 33 weeks today, due July 2nd, but I have a strong feeling my little girl is coming by mid-June. @mzarmstrong87: Keep us posted when you can. I'm worried about you, hun!
@hurstk28: I'm certain different OB's will tell you different things. Perhaps it depends on your doctor's personal preferrences. Mine gave me a printed instruction sheet that her office put together for their patients, instructing how to do a kick count. It wasn't copied from a national guideline like the AMA or anything like that. Always check with your doctor, & follow your mommy instincts. I think we know best when something is amiss!
@Mzarmstrong87: I'm glad she got to moving again. I was worried about you both! Best of luck with these last few weeks of pregnancy, & I'll be looking forward to seeing your post announcing her birth!
@lil_buggie_3: Awww, congratulations! I remember when I was at 20 weeks & it felt like the end of my pregnancy was ages & ages away. Now I have just 7 weeks left. It dragged by for me until I hit 6 months, than it was just crazy fast after that! And I may have to break down & get me a red Icee from Burger King! Why doesn't BK carry the blue ones, too? Lol!
@lil_buggie_3: Guessing by your name, is this your third child? This is my 3rd pregnancy, but first baby. I lost my first two to miscarriage in 2008 & 2009. This is going to be my first & last baby due to health complications, but I just feel blessed to have her. Can't wait to hold her!
And Imma try your secret recipe, girl! That sounds amazing right now. I'm sooo thirsty!!
