I am worthless at guessing even my own! I don't know why I thought I could guess hers. I thought boy at the very beginning and then switched to girl. (Which is what I did with my own- thought girl then switched to boy and was wrong!)
It seems fitting somehow. I am so excited for them! Dying to know the details of her labor. I'll ask her the next time we have tea!

So ladies, I have a question, I know I should remember this stuff, this being pregnancy number 5 and all. I just can't for the life of me remember if this is something that happened with the others or not. I am 21 weeks, I have been feeling baby move for weeks now, most of the time big movements. Yesterday, last night, and today I have felt very little to no movement. What I do feel is slight movements. Is this something normal or should I worry (I am already worried). Last night I was up almost all night hoping to feel her move some, but seriously, I never felt her move. I did feel some small movements this morning but that has been it.... Help please.

Zem, they have quiet days. With my others I've noticed a pattern. One of them was 2 days active then 1 day slow. I haven't noticed a pattern with this one but she for sure has quieter days. She is sooooo active this morning. If your worried...go in. It takes twenty minutes for them to do a trace on baby an it's completely worth it. Always trust your instincts!!!

Have you tried having some ice water Zem, she might have just moved into a spot where is tricky to feel her. Thinking of you.

So yesterday I talked to my Dr. we decided to wait her out and see if she was just facing my back or something. FINALLY she started moving about an hour ago. It has been a long 2 days and nights....On a happy note, excited to go see family this weekend, we are doing our firework then, since we haven't been around anyone for so long. Finally going to be able to reveal that this baby is a girl also, so excited lol.

So glad all is ok Zem. Enjoy the time with your family.

Sorry, girls I haven't been on much this week! Missed you all!
Zem so glad she started to kick again. I hope you are nejoying your family time!
Mommymachine, I was glad to read your post. Mine will go almost 24 hours of full on kicking, then nothing. I don't remember this with my first. One night I just got up and read a book because I literally couldn't go back to sleep with all the kicking. Then she went silent and for another whole 24 hours I couldn't feel anything. It made me nervous too, but then I felt so little kicks.
This might be terrible advice, I heard this long before I was even married! I remember my coworkers wife was worried and her doc told her (again this was like 10 years ago!) to drink a half of a coke or something with caffeine and then lay down on your side and be really still. Not sure they would tell a woman to drink caffeine now, but I always remembered that.
xoxo

That's right! But drinking a cold glass of water or orange juice works well too.
And your left side.
