No it’s not inappropriate…it’s actually right on the mark. I’m a labor and delivery nurse of 20+ years and couldn’t have said it better myself. This is such an important life saving measure that momma’s can do for the sweet babes in their bellies (and their own peace of mind). Thanks for bringing this issue up and spreading the word.

Ummm…. it is normal for the moved to be less. That’s why I recommend women. Do it daily. Gradual trends of less “hard” moves (which most people translate into “moving less”) helps women know how their baby is doing vs a once and a while check in.

This information is really inappropriate and not in with the most evidence based practice.
Women should not be told that after 30 weeks it is normal for baby’s to move less sometimes. I would urge you to rethink this post
