    I have been laying down for the last 45 mins or so and it's not getting any worse. I really want to avoid the hospital if possible as it probably is just nothing and I'd probably have to wait for 4 hours to see anyone! I'm waiting to see if it continues once the baby goes to sleep. He's very active at the moment!

    Oh it's a scarey business isn't it? Especially when there's so many sad stories around to add fuel to the already-present fears. Don't know what your hospital is like, but I've had a couple of freak-outs about lack of movement - once with this pregnancy and one with DD's - and I just called maternity. They let me just come straight in to them rather than going through emergency, and just popped me on the monitors for a bit so we could check all was ok. They were SO lovely about it, and told me that if I so much as got 5 mins down the road and got worried again, that I could come straight back. I'm just going public, but there were enough staff around that it wasn't a problem.

    Point is, it's worth giving maternity a buzz as maybe you won't have a 4 hr wait, and you'll get some peace of mind. Hope it all settles down very soon Hun. oxo

    Hope it settles for you darls - I agree with PP, just give maternity a call and see what they say. They will be able to say if they are busy or if you can just pop in for some monitoring and peace of mind
