Hi, I'm 29 weeks along. Baby's been real active, moving every other hour and I can feel these movements explicitly during weekdays. But today, he seems to have just stirred once in a while. When should I start to worry and go to see my gynae? I started doing kick counts this week but today is definitely a day my baby has failed the count relative to the counts I did over the week.

Babies tend to move more at certain times of day – they may be more active while you sleep, and sleep while you’re awake, and the pattern changes as they grow and develop. Try waking your little one up by: 1. Having a snack 2. Lying down 3. Walking for a while and then sitting down 4. Playing some music 5. Shining a flashlight on your tummy Once baby wakes up, monitor the movements...make sure there are at last 10 in 2 hours.
