My OTR microwave instructions were 30 min clearance between the bottom of the cabinet and the top of the cooktop. I have 32 total, so my microwave is about 16 over the gas cooktop. It passed the code inspections at that height.
There are some ways to get baby's attention, but if fetal movement isn't felt enough, call the doctor. The gentle rocking of mom's everyday movement most often lulls the baby to sleep, hence baby sleeps all day and wakes up when things get calm at night. To alert baby, simply lie down for an hour or two and chances are she'll wake up and move around. While you are reclining, change your position occasionally, between lying on your back to lying on your side, for example.
Your baby is not being pushed down into your pelvis when you're lying down. However, lying on your side, rather than your back, is the best position for sleep in late pregnancy. Adopting a hands-and-knees position for 10 minutes, twice a day, can help to move your baby into an anterior position in late pregnancy. Ask your birth partner to massage your back. 2  Rock your pelvis during contractions to help your baby turn as he passes through the pelvis. 3  A birth ball is great for pelvic rocking (Simkin and Ancheta 2011) . 4  Adopt lunge positions, either when standing on one foot, kneeling on one knee, or when you're lying on the bed.
