2Nd Trimester Fetal Movement None for 2 Day's

Please let us know how the Dr. visit went, I said a
prayer for you. I lost 2 babies and my heart sunk
when I read your request, I now have 3 grown children
and 5 grandbabies. My loss was 32-33 years ago, but
my heart still goes out to others and I pray this is
just one of those things and your baby is perfectly
healthy. My advice would've been to go to the Dr.,
but you're probably already there. God Bless you and
your family.

Hello. I just had a baby three weeks ago. I would call your doctors office tomorrow and just let them know. They may just have you come in to check the heart rate. For me two days would be too long for no movement. Did you try drinking juice for something with sugar in it and then laying down to feel movement? Also when I was very active I didnt notice movement too much. But then again they say you feel the most fetal movement after 22 weeks pregnant. There probably is nothing wrong but better safe than sorry.

Thanks for letting us know everything is ok!
When I was pregnant with my twins I would drink COLD ice water right before the sonograms because that usually got them moving. Or, ice cream seemd to work too.
Good luck

That happened to me with my first (only) pregnancy. I walked around quite a bit and he finally "woke up".

As it is Tuesday Morning and you are probably at your appointment, I will just pray for you that all is all right. I'm sure that it probably is. I know how scary it can be. Because my daughter's placenta was in front, I had a hard time feeling her move unless it was strong movements anyway. At best I would only feel her a couple of times a day. It would completely freak me out if a couple of days went by where I didn't feel her move. Your baby was likely affected by your headaches and probably is resting to feel better, like you did.

My best advice is whenever you feel something just isn't right, like not feeling baby move for a couple of days, contact your doctor or nurse or at the very least the nurse's hotline.

Good luck and Congratulations!

I am 29 weeks pregnant and about 5 weeks ago I came down with a really bad cold and in that time I didn't feel my baby for about 36 and was WAY worried. I went in and got checked and an ultrasound and he was A OK. my ob said it was probably due to me not feeling well and the fact that he had alot of fluid around him that I hadn't felt any movement... I am praying that something like this is the case for you.

try drinking a big glass of juice before you lay on your side. the sugar in it will usually trigger movements.

I am SOOO glad that things turned out alright. From someone who suffered SEVERE migraines during pregnancy...I just wanted to let you know you don't have to. Talk to your Dr. Mine gave me an Rx of Tylenol3 to use when they came on and I was told to also drink caffeine to help diminish the headaches (since caffeine reverses the constriction of the bloodflow that is causing the headaches). I will say that the only side effect that I saw from the T3 was the fact that my son was rather immune to Tylenol the first 1 - 1 1/2 yrs after he was born...so we used Motrin for fevers and teething. Best of luck to you!

not to alarm you, but once you feel your baby start to move it shouldn't stop. that could be a very grave sign. if you don't feel movement for an HOUR you are supposed to stimulate your baby....drink a pop, eat something sweet, rub your belly, poke him a little. if still no movement go to the dr. no movement in 2 days is very concerning. if you were 37 weeks it wouldn't be as bad because he could just be out of room. but at 17 weeks i would get to the ob NOW. i'm not trying to scare you or make you feel bad, but seriously, don't wait until your appt. go now. That horrible headache could have been a blood pressure crisis or nothing at all, but it needs to be checked immediately. good luck.
