Since most fo us have crossed the 28 week mark, I was wondering if all of you have started feeling 10 movements/per hour. I have never felt so many movements so far though the baby is acitve. I have also heard people say that 10 movements a day is fine. Though the docs in India dont talk to you about the counting I am interested since I have read so much about it. If the baby kicks 10 times every hour, wont it be th most tired person around? :-)Please give me your feedback....sharmila Kalpana replied. When i enquired to my doc, she says its better to check for movements three times a day (Morning, afternoon, evening). She said a count of 4-5 should be appreciable.

Baby too like us, will have his/her own moods to play around. So it should be OK.

Kalpana sharmila replied. Thanks for the assurance. It only matters if the baby is not doing fine. But reading so many experiences on the net makes you go crazy at times. Maybe my baby just loves sleeping away his time. He/she must be saving his energy to give me a run once he's out! :)sharmila jenn replied. well, regarding movemtns i was told by my docotr that you need to be concerned only if the aby doesnt move in that time of the day when it normally moves. so first yiou need to track at what times during the day your baby is acive.. babies have a pattern and are usually active during the same times everyday, so if you dont feel movents at that time during the day especially for an hour you need to check with your doctor.also you could try to make the baby move by having some wsweet stuff and drinking juice or water and lying on your left side,
hope this clears some of your doubtss,
take care

nisha replied. hi sharmila,

i am not too sure about the count but even i have read that u should count atleast two times in a day-morning and evening,u should get ten kicks in an hour,if u dont feel the movements,u could drink some juice or bite a snack and lie down and feel the movements,my baby's kicks are interesting to watch,my tummy keeps moving up,right,left,all over,i keep wondering whats happening inside,it sometimes pains,i asked my gynaec but she said thats normal.anyways,feeling the movements after 28 th week are very necessary.take care.

regards,
nisha.
