I am now 27 weeks along. I am so nervous right now. I am a little concerned about my sons movements. For the last few days I have not felt him kick. I feel him moving and balling up all the time but no kicks. I had a doctors appointment a couple of days ago but they said that was normal. I know for many other moms on here who lost there babies said there was a change in the babies movement. I know I could be over reacting but I am so worried.

Hugs,
Quin

Hey Quin - I would go to the doc ask for an ultrasound - You are not overreacting.

It may very well be perfectly normal, but better safe than sorry - I agree with Brynasmom, ask for an ultrasound.

You are not overreacting at all. You should go to the hospital and have a non-stress test done for at least several hours.

Please keep us posted. You're in my prayers.

Well Quin, after everything we've been through, I'd let your doctor know. Although it may be normal, it's best to find out. I know I'm 30 weeks now and sometimes all I feel is a balling up movement on one side or another. Some days his kicks are really strong, and others aren't. I hope you can go get checked out to put your mind at ease. I know how nerve wracking this is because I'm going through the same thing! Hang in there.....I'm thinking about ya!

I an 27week as well. Today I just felt like baby was not moving as much as usual. I called my doctor and they did a NST and ultrasound. Everything was good. I was probably overreacting, but needed that reassurance. Call your doctor if you are not sure. I did know that a NST could be done this early, but it can. Hope all is well with you.

I would call ur doc and tell them u need more reassurance. Changes in movement can be normal but not always. I'm sure everything's fine but anxiety isn't good for you or your little man. Ur doc should be bending over backwards to give u reassurance. If need be, make it sound like ur freaking out really bad and doc should get u right in. It sux sometimes to overreact, but if that's the only way a doc will do what needs done, it's worth it.

Well i just tried to relax a little more and the baby has been moving a little more. I drank some juice and layed down and he was all over the place. I think he has just found his spot that he likes and hangs out there. I ve already had one NST a couple of weeks ago when i freaked out about his movement. He was fine!! Thanks for all your support. I hope everyone is doing well :)

Glad the little man is moving more, Quin! Keep it up little guy, let your Mommy know you're OK!!

I am so happy to hear that he's doing fine, Quin. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I know you and baby are going to be just fine. Hang in there!
