A member asked:

Will doctors deliver your baby because of decreased fetal movement?

A doctor has provided 1 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.
