I haven't felt the baby move all day, I know that the baby doesn't have a lot room to move but shouldn't he or she move? Is their anything I can try to make the baby move a little?

Perhaps try headphones on the belly. Nothing too loud, just something so that the baby can hear music. Or sing.

P.S. Babies like to sleep a lot!

Try a sugary drink, that might get him/her perked up a bit. Also a walk around the block might wake the little one up.

If you are really concerned than call your doctor, this is not the time for you to worry, and no question is a silly one, your doctor has been through this, he'll either ask you to come in for a checkup or reassure you.

Let us know how it goes.

Good Luck.

I tried to give Altenweg a greenie for this one, but couldn't cause I've already given him?/her? Too much love. Darn.


Well, point is: A sugary drink is a good idea! I would go with Sobe Green Tea!! YUM!! And taking a walk is another fantastic idea.

Okay thank's is it normal for the baby not to move? I mean I did take a long nap today so maybe the baby moved during the nap.

It could be that baby was moving when you were napping and you didn't feel it. It could also be that baby is sleeping. Newborns are more active at night, you're baby is almost full term and is probably sleeping allot during the day and more active at night when you aren't as likely to feel him/her kick. Try the sugary drink, it usually gets baby moving within 30 minutes. Like I said before, if you are really concerned then call your doctor. None of us are doctors, we are just giving you our opinion, but it's not based on medical certainty, a call to the doctor is your best bet, find out if anything is wrong, and put your mind at ease.

Chihuahua Momma, I'm a her. :)

Okay I just realized I don't have any sugar drinks just milk or water, but I do have sweet food like candy type stuff will that help?

Yup, try the candy, it might take longer for it to work because it takes longer for it to get to baby.

You could also try adding some sugar to warm water.

Altenweg--I'll remember that.. Sorry for the confusion.

Davejag--I think candy should work. I think it's just the sugar that gets the baby up and jumping... hyper.

I will give my doctor a call I just want to try everything first on my own, I guess the baby could just be napping again.

Awesome thank's ladies this always helps, I will let you know in an hour or so if this little one has been moving.

No problem, with a username like Altenweg it's hard to tell. And with a bunny avatar it's even more confusing.

OP, let us know if it works and how you are doing, keep us informed okay?

OP--we look forward to hearing from you again, and wish you and the little one well.

Okay I just felt two little kicks that's a good sign right? Even if he or she just kicks twice at leat I know he or she is still in their.

If your still concerned just let your doctor know. It is a good sign that your getting a response now.

Yup, two little kicks is a good sign, now that you woke baby up you'll probably wish that he/she would stop kicking again. ;)

Just remember that you should never ever be afraid to call your doctor if you are worried, that's what they're there for, it's their job and the profession they chose, if he/she is a good doctor then they'd rather you call then sit at home and worry.

Let us know how it goes, you don't have long left now before baby comes. Congrats and good luck. :)

Yippy for baby kicks. Congrats on the kicky baby and I wish you all the best.

Well I can`t really call my doctor we don`t get his pager number and his office is closed, the only thing we can do is go up to the hospital. That's why Iam really grateful to have this site so I can ask people.

I do like when the baby moves because the baby doesn`t really kick hard it just feels like butterflies or gas lol.

Do you have a walk in clinic you can go to if need be? I don't know where you live, I'm in Canada, we have at least 7 walk in clinics in our town alone that are open 24 hours, that way you don't need to go all the way to the hospital for something like this.

I'm sure everything is fine, just keep a record of the kicks. At this stage in your pregnancy you should be feeling at least 10 kicks a day, as long as you are in that range I think that you should be okay. Do remember though, this is based on things I've been told, I'm not a doctor, I'm not even a nurse, I'm just the mother of two.

Keep us updated and especially let us know what you end up having, I'm thinking boy, but that's just a guess. ;)

Ah, if only healthcare here in the states was the same in Canada. I've lived all over the place and never lived in a town that had a 24 hour walk in clinic. That would be nice.

On the other note, you can call ANY OBGYN and ask this question. If nothing else, call the hospital and ask to speak to one.
