Weak baby movements after having sudden sharp sensation. See a doctor?
Patient: I m in my 28th week and a couple nights ago I felt a sharp (not painful though) sensation that sort of felt like my bladder being squeezed. It was in the middle of the night so I got up and went to the bathroom. I had a few more feelings like that the next day. Ever since, I ve noticed my baby s movements aren t as strong or frequent. Is there a connection; should I call my doctor? As I type this, I can feel the baby moving (I just ate lunch), but the movements aren t as strong as they normally are... Doctor: hello,You are carrying 28 wks pregnancy and feeling with less/weak baby movement.Actually baby moves in specific time/situation and you have to feel it properly. You can assess it by DFMC or Daily Fetal Movement Count which is 10 per hr.If you feel less than 10 moves/hr for 1-2 days or more,you need to consult with your doctor for clinical assessment along with USG lower abdomen for FPP.Take healthy diet,continue Iron/Calcium supplements,avoid stress, sleep properly with left lateral position and do periodic check up.Be well.
