Hi everyone,

I'm very sick at the moment, and have had a marked decrease in fetal movements today.. Anyway, my GP made me call my obs, who said to wait over a 12 hour period (so another hr or so), and then head in for some monitoring if it hasn't picked up.

Normally i feel lots of little moving around movements, some hiccups each day, and at least 3 big movements (kick, punch, head moving, alien roll thing), per hour...

Today i have had a few small movments (hard to count as your not quite sure you felt them, or if the baby was moving cos you were, but not on its own IYKWIM?), and maybe 5 big movements all day (and they weren't very big at all of those big ones).

How many movements in normal for 30 weeks? Is it by what i feel is normal? And when the midwives ask me how many kicks/movements i've had, do they only mean the big ones, or do i could the small ones also??

Thanks.
