Maybe I’m being paranoid I dunno, but it seems the last couple of days I can’t remember the baby kicking quite as often as usual. I know that there’s supposed to be periods of less and more activity, but now I’ve got myself worried cuz I can’t remember when I last felt the baby kick? My poor memory is compounding my worries.
I seem to be sleeping so much the last couple of days aswell, so maybe the baby is active while I’m fast asleep and it hasn’t woken me? Although I did have a tiring weekend and didn’t always sleep well, over the last 2 days I’ve been pretty much getting 8 hour sleeps, PLUS sleeping 2-3 hours in the afternoon. I guess the heat hasn’t helped much either.
At the end of the day though, I can get over being tired, but I just hope the baby is ok. Cuz I wasn’t sure I looked up some info on a pregnancy website and started reading about the horrible process if the baby dies. I didn’t know this could happen! I wish I didn’t read it now. On the other hand, I think it’s natural for every pregnant woman to worry about these things, so maybe I’m just worrying about nothing. I’ve made a mental note though to try and remember the next time baby kicks.

If you are really worried, then phone or go and see your midwife. From about now from memory (which could be wrong) you should be counting 10 kicks a day, or at least in a 12 hour period whilst you are up.
If you are busy rushing around you may not feel them though. Its natural for your brain to fry though during pregnancy.
Take some time out. Go have a bath, and relax. You will most likely feel the baby kick more when you are calm.
But again Mel, if you are worried, CALL someone. x
