Please don't wait or ask online for this. If you feel the baby's movements have stopped or reduced significantly, contact your doctor or visit the hospital emergency room immediately. It is always better to be safe.

Beta, try drinking a glass of cold sweet milk and lie down peacefully on your left side for some time. If the baby still does not move within an hour, please do not delay and call your doctor right away.

Let's not take any chances here. If you've tried drinking cold juice and lying down and still feel no movement, grab your bags and head to your gynac immediately. It is better to get a quick ultrasound than to worry at home.

I completely understand the panic you are feeling right now, I used to get so scared too. First, try drinking cold water or lying on your left side to see if there is movement. If still nothing, please call your gynac immediately.

Sometimes babies are just sleeping, but if you have tried resting and drinking juice and still feel no movement, please don't take a chance. Call your doctor or go to the clinic right away to get a quick heartbeat check.

Hey, don't panic too much, sometimes they just have quiet days. Try having a sweet snack and lying down for an hour to count the kicks. But seriously, if you still feel nothing, just call your doc and go get it checked immediately.
