Yesterday it was moving but today not so much. I took it out to see and there was no movement in the embryo but it was also very bright in my home and I could barely see anything at all. I’m thinking about lockdown tonight so I placed it on a flat surface and then it actually started to move so I have hope. He or she may not move as much as baby challah because they’re all different I suspect but I did see a bit of a wavyish line start to form in the membrane. All I’m hoping is that the baby didn’t get shrink wrapped. It’s day 27!

Go into a dark closet and maybe you can see movement. I hope it will hatch for you.

Thank you! I hope so too. There’s no problem candling it often now right? Just to see internal pip?

It can cause the membrane To dry out if you had the egg in lock down and keep opening the bat or taking it out I was meaning if you already had it out

I saw no movement. Nothing I think that he passed. When I manually move the egg things move inside but nothing in general. Can I save it if anyway? There’s a small miniscule bump inside the air cell. Maybe the membrane collapsed on it. The blood has darkened.

But it didn’t externally pip. Does it not matter?

 

[Miss Lydia]

What do you mean save it ? Like open to see if it’s still alive?

I also turned the egg on the 26th day thinking it was the 22nd day. Maybe I accidentally injured it? I feel terrible
