I am 29th week pregnant.From the 4 days I am not feeling any foetal movement and my belly became hard from last 14 days. But foetal heart beat monitor (when positioned on the lower left side of belly) showing normal heart beat of the foetus. I am not able to understand what is actually going on. Please help me.

Hey thanks for your faith in the health care Magic
I have gone through your question and I understood your problem.
If your baby is moving less than usual, call your doctor. Don't rely on a fetal heart monitor to tell you your baby is okay. Fetal dopplers and other heart monitors can only tell you that your baby's heart is beating -- they can't tell you, for example, whether there is a problem with the placenta or if your baby is in other physiological distress. You need to cal your doctor right away.Thank you.
