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.
Exercise improves your muscle tone, strength and endurance, which may make it easier for you to adapt to the changes that pregnancy brings (Clapp et al 2002, Berk 2004, Nascimento et al 2012). Regular exercise will: 1  Help you to carry the weight you gain in pregnancy. 2  Prepare you for the physical challenge of labour and birth. 3  Improve your mood, and give you energy. 4  Help you to sleep better. 5  Make getting back into shape after your baby is born easier.
