Am I crazy or should I be worried?

TW: Worries of potential problems. Hey mommas ❤️ I'm about to lose my mind with worry and I just wanted to see if I'm crazy or if it's something I really should be concerned about. We are 23w1d and babygirl is usually EXTREMELY active. I mean kicks left and right all the time active. We just celebrated hubby being able to feel her kick from the outside 3 days ago and now she's barely moving. I felt her plenty early yesterday but since yesterday afternoon I have felt her move extremely minimally. I know you aren't supposed to kick count at this stage but she has been extremely consistent for a few weeks now and it's honestly just worrying the crap out of me that she isn't now. I left a message for my OB but should I go to the ER or is it crazy to be this worried?

I would try drinking a sweet cold drink. Or if there’s something you do that makes baby move then try that. At this stage it is normal for baby to move one day and not the next. But if in doubt, I would follow my gut and contact an out of hours OB.

Any change in movement warrants a trip to your doctor or ER (whoever can get you in faster). They'd rather you come in for nothing than leave it and it end up being something.

I personally think at this point it isn't a huge concern and also agree with the commentor who said to try a sweet drink like orange juice (makes baby hyped up). Of course if you feel you want to be checked out, you can always get an ultrasound for reassurance via ER or maybe even an urgent care. Do you have a 24 hour nurse hotline you could call? They may be able to sister with whether its a concern or not . Though I have found they usually suggest the ER for any pregnancy concerns

Yes try being in active motion for a couple hours like a like chore such as laundry or dishes and then drink some really cold orange juice then lay down, typically the activity keeps baby asleep and then awake and moving when things stop. It is always good to advocate for yourself and rather be safe than sorry.

I had the same thing happen for the past day and a half, so I laid on my left side and I could feel him. After that I realize he may have moved to kick in the inside of my stomach. I think he moved again yesterday and now I can feel him
