It can vary: At 29 weeks most women can feel their baby move regularly. Our office instructs patients to lay on their side and ensure that have at least 4 movements in an hour. This can be done any time there are concerns, or if instructed by your OB for high risk pregnancies. You can do this 3x/day (after meals usually works best) and as always, call your OB if you have specific concerns. Take care.

That is a ?: You should be asking the dcotor or his nurse who is taking care of you and u should go by what they say ! there is not set number, you should feel movement throughout the day and night, if u are worried drink something sweet like apple juice, etc, and the baby should start moving in repsonse to the glucose, if you are worried call your OB , your OB should work u in or send u to teh labor room.
