Since I had gestational diabetes, I couldn't just eat sweets to make the baby move. I would lie down on my left side in a quiet room and count. If you ever feel the count is low, please contact your doctor immediately instead of experimenting with sugar.
Listen, baby movements are serious. If u feel the baby is quiet, drink some cold water or juice and lie on your left side for an hour. If still nothing, don't ask on forums—just pack your bag and go straight to your gynac.
Actually yaar, sometimes they just sleep inside. I used to drink chilled water and lie down, and baby would start kicking. But seriously, if u feel the movements are way less than usual, just go check with your gynac, don't take any risk.
I used to count kicks diligently, now I'm just running around trying to keep him from falling! If you feel baby is too quiet, try talking to them or playing some soft music. But honestly, if u are really worried, just call your doctor's clinic, it's always better to be safe.
If you feel the movements have reduced, please don't wait to save on a doctor's visit, just go to the hospital. A quick NST test doesn't cost much and will give you total peace of mind. For regular days, just track the kicks after meals.
Usually my little monster would start dancing the moment I ate something sweet! Try having a cold glass of milk or chocolate. But haan, if the baby decides to keep sleeping for too long and you don't feel active kicks, definitely ring up your doc.
I'm in my 28th week now and sometimes I also panic when I don't feel kicks for a few hours. I usually drink cold juice and lie down, and that works. How many weeks are u? If it's very less, we should definitely call our gynac.
