Question 1

is it normal for not to feel fetal movement  for 2 days at 26 weeks pregnant?

Accepted Answer

No: If you are 26 weeks pregnant and have been feeling fetal movement till now, you should see your doctor and get checked out.  You should never go a day without feeling movement.

Question 2

26 weeks pregnant is going to shows/concerts okay?    didnt feel fetal movement during the concert only after the music was over.

Accepted Answer

Consider calling MD: Multiple questions come to mind. How long did she not feel the movement for? When did she eat or drink last? Did she do a kick count? Pending these answers she should call her obstetrician.

Question 3

unpredictable fetal movement?

Accepted Answer

10 kicks/hour: 10 kicks/hour is a universal count, but its dependent on what is your normal and more importantly how far along you are.  If you are 25 weeks, you may not have predictable fetal movement the way you may when you are 35 weeks.  Check with your doctor.

Question 4

is there such thing as too much fetal movement?

Accepted Answer

Too much movement: No,  there is never a concern for a baby that moves "too much".

Question 5

Accepted Answer

No: Minimal. Usually starts @ 20weeks. More movement as the pregnancy progresses.

Accepted Answer

Did u ask your OB?: Some women can feel movement at 19 wk 5 d and some can and if u do u may not feel it everyday until u are 22-24 weeks.

Question 8

decrease in fetal movement after starting a beta blocker?

Accepted Answer

Stop it - seek care.: Beta blockers are not commonly prescribed during pregnancy as they can lead to poor fetal growth. Decreased fetal movement merits prompt medical attention after 24 weeks.

Question 9

is it normal for fetal movement to be sporadic at 20 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Most women feel "quickening" or the baby moving for the first time between 15 and 20 weeks.  It is not expected that you feel your baby move regularly until around 28 weeks.

Question 10

will doctors deliver your baby because of decreased fetal movement?

Accepted Answer

Not alone: Decreased fetal movement is a sign that more testing is needed, such as an nst (non-stress test), or sometimes an ultrasound. If those tests show any problems, that may be a reason to consider delivering your baby.
