Advice
So, I went into the hospital this morning for decreased fetal movement. They put him on the monitor, and he was fine. I could even hear him moving, but I couldn't feel it. They did a bpp ultrasound, and although it took a little while, he did all the things. They also told me that I now have an anterior placenta, which I haven't had before. They also found that he is sideways and twisted up.
I have not felt him move since last night, and it's really freaking me out. I've felt him move all day every day, and now theres nothing. I'm honestly so worried, and I know the drs said and showed me that he was okay, but it still scares me.
Does anyone have any tips and tricks to get him to move to where I can feel him again?

I’ve heard that a big glass of really cold water can get them moving.
I also have an anterior placenta and often go long periods not feeling anything
im sorry you’re feeling so scared. if you’re really worried, i’d call them again. maybe they can give you more reassurance or check again.
in the meantime, try drinking cold juice. lay down, take deep breaths, and see what you can feel. also, trying this during a time your baby is normally active works better than when they’re usually sleeping or something.
You can try doing Spinning Babies (https://www.spinningbabies.com) to get him to go back head down. It helped turn my breech little one around a couple weeks ago.
Drink some Cold orange or apple juice , then laying down to really feel all the movement
Orange juice and lying on my left side or lying on my back propped up, always does the trick for me
Oh or if getting hunger delay about 30mins
My baby throw tantrums for food idk if anyone else experienced that before
