rudegere scared me again this afternoon. i hadn't felt him move very much today & so finally i ended up lying down & sitting up & jiggling him around & poking him to try to get him to move. finally i sat down all squished up, which he seems to dislike, because he starts to poke at me from the inside, & he began to move around. it's a real stress when he's quiet for a long time.
online, i've seen places where you can hire those fetal heart beat monitors, but it seems it's only overseas. i just made a few calls to some chemists to see if they hire them out, but it seems you can only get them through doctors &, i dare say, only if you have reason to be worried, more than just as a peace of mind thing.
by the time i see my obstetrican again there'll only be two to four weeks to go anyway. i may ask him about them anyway.
I wouldn't worry too much about the fetal monitor. At your stage of pregnancy, a simple stethoscope will suffice. It's cheaper, and very easy to get. You just have to search around a bit for the babies heartbeat.

as you approach the later weeks of pregnancy and it gets more squished in there, the movements do slow down a bit in general.. maybe that's what you are starting to notice happening.. as long as you can poke a kick out of her, i reckon it's all good
