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.
Movement enhances comfort by stimulating the receptors in the brain that decrease pain perception. The result is that you are able to tolerate increasingly strong contractions. When contractions become very strong, endorphins are released and pain perception decreases even more. Ultimately, your movement in response to your contractions decreases pain and facilitates labor â a win-win. Movement also helps the baby move through the pelvis, and some positions enlarge pelvic diameters. The positions shown here facilitate the normal, natural process of labor. What position should you use? Follow your body. Move freely in response to what you feel. Your body will let you know just what position is best at every point in your labor. 1.
