Many women do not feel fetal movement until approximately 20 weeks gestation and will not feel it on a regular, daily basis until after 26 weeks gestation. However after that time, you should feel your baby move multiple times every day. If the movement seems much less than what you are used to as being normal, we recommend that you lie on your left side and drink a sweet, cold drink. Place your hand on the uterus and count the movements that you feel over the next 2 hours. You should feel the baby move at least 10 times. If you are more than 26 weeks or unable to get the 10 movements as described above, please call the office or seek emergency care at your nearest hospital right away.
