Hi mum2o, hope things are okay. Probably best to contact your midwife so that she can give listen to the heartbeat etc.

To get my bump moving I lie on my left hand side, sometimes this might not work so I move my bump around, just gently push it side to side and up and down and this usually generates a kick. If you are not many weeks, I think the baby can turn and kick inside you so won't feel much. Also my baby likes to kick madly for a day and then the next day he will be really quiet. Am crossing fingers for you...

can give listen? obviously pg brain has well and truly kicked in!

Just called hospital and they said its far too early to monitor but she is going to call community midwife to call me so maybe I can go for a listen.
She said its too eary for there to be a pattern but I disagree.I fell it every afternoon as I did with ds.What does anyone else thik of this?

i think you should go and have the midwife listen to the baby......sometimes baby lies with its limbs towards your back, so harder to feel movement..but two days is a fairly long time to not feel the baby....sure everything is ok...but should go and get checked out...and you will feel better too....

left side is good......!

x post - are you 26 weeks?

MKG · 03/11/2006 16:22

Odds are everything is fine. Get check out just in case. I almost never felt my ds moving around. Have you been busy lately? If I was very busy, even if he was moving, I didn't notice.

When I had non stress tests before I was induced the monitor showed that he was moving, but I had no idea.

have you tried chocolate or something sweet to eat? always gets my LO on the move better than glasses of cold water.

mum2oliver · 03/11/2006 20:28

Everything fine.Went to hear heart beat.Feel bit silly now as am only 21 weeks.Just got it onto my head that something was wrong.Thanx for support.x
