Not feeling movement at 30 weeks.. Horror Stories anyone?

I'm 30 weeks and my baby used to move A LOTTTTT. So much it would bother me.

Lately I'm lucky if I feel him move 4-10 times a day. Past 2 days I have felt 2 kicks.  

1 girl I know went to the ER after 6 hrs of no movement, and had to have an emergency C section because her baby wasn't breathing. He is ok now and well, but I'm SCARED of this happening to me.


Have you ladies ever had this issue? Any other answers from your OB/hospital OTHER than "do a kick count" ?!
My OB said to keep track, and if needed he'd do a non stress test. I feel like something is wrong.  
Help/Advice needed! Stories or Horror stories appreciated, I like to know what CAN happen and to be prepared.
THANKS SO MUCH MOMS!

just think positive and call your doctor why would you want horror stories

babies don't breathe in the womb...? lol

You should call L&D. Don't wait until its too late.

Babies don't breathe inside you....

  Why in the world do you want horror stories? Your baby could die. Mine did.

2 movements in 2 days is NOT enough. Go to the hospital to be monitored.

No horror stories here, but I will tell you, it's perfectly normal for them to change their patterns and such at this stage! They're running out of room in there to move as much, too. You may be too busy to notice it, and it may be rolling movement rather than just jabs to your stomach, lol.

That is the best advice, though, that's why they give it. Do your kick counts. Drink something cold/sweet, lay on your left side for a while. Play some music, talk to your tummy, put something cold on there, get baby moving. And try not to worry.  

Quoting Shannon Schadt-Buckley:" Babies don't breathe inside you...."

right, lol. smurfing c-section happy  

Didnt you just post this?   I think if your that worried you should tell your doc. This is my first child so Idk how much your supposed to feel your baby move at 30 weeks but if your def that worried about it go to the ER or make an appt for asap with your OB...

OP, have you tried to stimulate movement at all?

Quoting sweetbea0906:" just think positive and call your doctor why would you want horror stories"

This.

  why would you WANT horror stories? That makes no sense.

If you want them: use google. That's always a good scare.

Otherwise, if you're that worried, call L&D or go in and get a non-stress test done.

Like babies dont have enough to deal with...who the hell asks for horror stories? Ya should ask for reassurance... Oy!!!

Perhaps it is my own personal history, but the way OP worded this post really gets under skin.


***damn kindle.

I know people have already said this but I really can't stress enough #1 thing to NOT do while your pregnant is look up or ask friends about their horror stories, it's just focusing on negativity. A happy Mom is a happy baby!
It's a possibility that you are feeling less movements because there is less room in there. Also, I've heard babies have their days like others where they are active one day and not the other.

If you are truly concerned I suggest going to the Doctor! Don't stress Momma, think positive!
