Call your doc NOW: Please call your doc. Decreased fetal movement is something your physician will want to know about.

See OB - go to ER!: Decreased maternal perception may a harbinger of bad pregnancy complications, so do not waste any time before you see your obstetrician or go to the emergency room asap.
