TIPS TO GET BABY MOVING!

[JARM]

Im 26+3 and baby has been very quiet today, i know i had some kicks this morning, but he is usually very active of an evening - and NOTHING so far tonight....

Im starting to get a little concerned, DD1 did this to me at 30weeks and as soon as I got to hospital (at 1am), she started kicking away, so dont want to repeat the same experience!

Any ideas on how to get the little stubborn one wriggling?!

Drink some very cold water.

relax in the bath. Normally gets my little one moving

had a bath earlier - nothing!!!

DH off to run cold tap!

Chocolate & sweets, get a sugar rush going!!

(Thought it was a bit early for the pineapple / cod liver oil thing to start!!)

eat something sugary?

Cold fizzy drinks seem to wake my LO up.

drink lots of very very cold water, this is what the hospital made me do when ds stopped moving.

If you are worried call delivery suite and speak to midwife.

Ice-cream. Eating, sugar rush and cold all in one hit.

Anything yet?
here suggests the glass of water thing too.

Ice cream always got a reaction for me too.

nothing yet, am trying ice-cream, although i feel sick to the pit of my stomach

If you are really worried JARM, pop along to the unit, I bet as soon as they strap that monitor to you, he will start kicking. My LO hates being scanned, monitored and being listened to, and boots the equiment every time

chine a torch on the bump, that always made mine move!or music, stretch headphones over the bump, and different music, that used to work, or lying on your back in the bath, and pouring warm, then cold water over the bump!

the thing is, i dont actually have a mw here anymore, ive switched docs etc as we were supposed to move 2 weeks ago..... its a 60 mile round trip to my now allocated hospital.

i also dont want to do it on my own, Dh eould have to stay here with the girls.

maybe i should just try and sleep and see how things are in the morning?

ooooh just got a tiny tiny kick, reckon he is tired after the marathon kicks yesterday!

big glass of cold water and lie down

JARM, for what it's worth, I'm 30+2 and I've noticed that whenever baby has a particularly active day one day, it follows it up with a scarily quiet day the next day. I've decided it gets tired out by its own activity and has a little rest. This may be utterly unscientific but it really helps me!

Well i got into bed and he started wriggling.

I do think that he had over-exerted himself in there and was having a rest, have had some reassuring kicks this morning.

I just tend to always think the worst...... roll on november!
