Baby movements

[lizylou]

Hi ladies,
I'm just starting to get a little anxious because I usually feel bubs a fair few times a day but over the last 3 days he doesn't seem to be moving much should I be worried?
I have tried a fizzy drink and lying on my side and nothing still : ( x

try lying lightly on your front. I dont mean squash bump, but just resting on it slightly.

if that doesnt work, lie on your back, and bring your knees as far into your chest as you can manage. Hold it and squeeze for a few seconds and then release. You should feel bubs then unless its being very naughty! xx

Hey... I know I had a few quiet days around this stage... And I'm
Sure I read on here someone say the same thing, and it's because the baby has a growth spurt round about 24weeks. Also that you don't start to monitor movement patterns untill 28weeks. Baby has plenty of room. So try not worry, but if you call your midwife or maternity unit they can put your mind at rest and see what they suggest!
