    worried about decrease in movement

    since yesterday i have hardly felt bub move. there are normally certain times of the day he drives me insane and i have been takin notice of these times and i have had hardly any movement. normally in the arvo around 3 he kicks heaps but yesterday i only got like 2. then of a night when i have to get up to pee after i have pee'd he will kick/hiccups for like a hr and it takes me forever to get back to sleep but last night i had none of that. then i normally get woken up by kicking of a morning and i lay in till DD wakes up but this morning i only got 3 little light kicks after i had been laying there for like a hr waiting for a kick.

    Should i ring the mat ward and see wat they think or am i over reacting?

    I would ring and get peace of mind hun and see what they say. Bubby is probably having a quiet day - I remember a few heart attacks with mine but they must have just been sleeping.

    I would ring and ask them if you can pop in for a quick ultrasound to ease your mind. You are at the tail end of your pregnancy, so the movements will ease off as your little one doesn't have as much room to move around
    Definitely give them a ring to at least talk things through.

    Have a really cold drink, something sweet and a lie down. And if that doesn't work, give them a ring.

    Like the other girls said, there were a few times I was worried about missy's movements but having something sweet and cold always worked for me. I used to have strawberry milk - that would get the wee rascal going again!!
