I've noticed that drinking ice cold water/juice, and then just relaxing you bound to feel something. To ease your mind visit your ob/gyn to check on baby. Best of luck.

lay down and put your hands on your tummy and you should feel your little one kick 10 times within 1 hour and if you havent call your caregiver straight away and they will probably tell you to go into hospital where they can monitor baby (my midwife told me this as i didnt feel my son all day and i was in a lot of pain)

I personally was told that there is nothing to worry about until you're in the third trimester. I'm 22 weeks today and i was also worried because of not feeling her kick or move around as much as she did in the previous weeks. So I called my Dr and she told me not to worry and that it doesn't necessarily mean anything, but if you're in pain i would go the emergency room right away.

Personally, I'd call my doctor. I told my doctor my son (last pregnancy) was moving as much for one day and they did a non-stress test. I was farther along than you currently are but if they wanted to check after one day of no movement I would think a provider would want to know after three days as well. However, from my experience, the amount if activity you feel can definitely vary but it never hurts to tell your provider your concerns. That's what thr y are there for.

If you haven't felt the baby in 3 days and usually have regular movement you should get up and get checked 3 days is a long time not to feel any movement, I'm 23 weeks and is be straight up to the maternity hospital if I had no movement in that amount of time, gd luck

Yes it's too early to be counting kicks. In third trimester it becomes a concern. I often went stretches of time that early on without feeling much and then there would be strong spurts of activity.

My little girl is a minx. She was really active to start with but when she moves into a different position I rarely feel her and at 30 weeks it's quite scary. Baby positions really don't help with movements nor does placenta position. Glad she's put your mind at rest :)

Its still early to feel lots of kicking, this happened to me i had a ice cold glass of coke, some chocolate and lay on left side. I soon felt some movement. How much you feel depends whete your placenta is lying, if its front you wont feel as much till baby is bigger but if your worried contact your midwife, mine came out and put me on doppler all was ok
