my baby kicks were pretty strong but starting yesterday his kicks were lighter & not so frequent. im quite worried, kept rubbing my tummy & tel him to give me some kicks, although got some light kicks, im still worried, what should i do?

but again, sometimes i feel movements from left to right & vice versa, is that him moving? the feeling is like abit cramping...pls advise!

yup. the movement from left to right is your bb moving. kicks lighter or lesser now maybe becos bb is just tired or lazy. sometimes when we r bz, we will not notice the kicks even though they have kicked. y not try to lie in bed and count the no. of kicks? the minimum a bb should be kicking a day is 10 kicks. if lesser then 10 kicks in a day or no kicks at all... better go hospital to check. if u r worried still... becos u feel there is lesser kicks, just go to your hospital n tell them that u wan a check on your bb cos u feel less kicks and inform your gynae too.

i experienced what you have gone through few weeks ago. so scared... cos lesser kicks then usual. bb is usually very active. so terrified that i called up my gynae and she advised me to go in to delivery suite at kkh to monitor the bb. when at kkh, the midwife put me on a CTG machine which measures the bb's heartbeat and our contractions. n i was told to count my bb's kicks. all things went well. so its presumed that bb is just plain lazy for the 2days. he is now very active again.

things will be fine. just go for checks to have a peace of mind. dun worry. jia you! :)

Hi pkshl,

Dun worry, so long as within a day, u can feel ur bb kick or move...it's alright, cos' when I was pregnant & in the 3rd trimester, same thing happen to me, and ask my gynae at tht time and she said this to me....

Sometimes bb lazy lah :tlaugh:

If it gives you peace of mind, you should go back to your gynae or to KKH and have them do a scan to check how bb is doing.

Read somewhere that as long as there are 10 movements within the day your baby's fine.
