Question: Hi, I'm in week 26. We're on vacation in Europe waiting to see doctor. When I arrived a week ago the baby was busy kicking. With each meal he/she was very active. While here we have hiked, eaten many large meals (some including seafood which I regularly eat back home and milk in my cappuccino, yogurt, possibly some unpasteurized cheese / ice cream (or gelato)

The babies movements have slowed a bit, or simply become less noticeable. There have been few of the big kicks that I experienced when I first arrived. The day before yesterday I felt nothing at breakfast even with a juice. The baby moved by the next meal. Now after eating the baby will move a bit but not nearly to the extent I experienced before. In the early am (2am here, 7 hours ahead of time back home) I counted kicks/movements and everything seemed fine. Though at breakfast just a slight movement despite having sugar. And then nothing once I lied down.

Now I think I'm feeling flutters again as I wait for the doctor. If it were regular hours in the US I think a conversation with my doctors may indicate this might be normal. It's not like the baby isn't moving just not big kicks/ food reactions. Could there have been a spike in movement brought on by the flight and maybe this is just regular pattern?
