    Decreased Movements - 26 weeks

    Normally my little man is so active, I mean over the top and extremely noticeable. However I haven't picked up much movement today at all. I joked to my husband a few hours ago that he'll wait till I get to bed before waking up and then keep me awake. But now thinking about it as I lay in bed I haven't had much movement at all. In the last 30 mins only 2 kicks, still pretty defined like normal just not as often.

    Should I be concerned? Just had a large glass of cold water to see if it wakes him
    Up a bit.

    Hun if it doesn't wake him up I'd go to your hospy and get him monitored.
    Better to be safe & give yourself peace of mind too. We had a day around 28 weeks where I didn't feel much & the hospy told me I needed to come straight in. Bub had turned around and I just wasn't feeling her but she was fine. Don't lie there worrying all night, go in if you can.

    Yep, I would ring the hospy too, if only for your own peace of mind. Having had a baby who was compromised inutero, and having to monitor his movements, I know how worrying it can be. You'll only lie awake all night, best to be checked so you know what's going on.

    I hope he gets kicking for you . Don't ever feel worried to call your hossy/Ob, they would much prefer to check things are going okay, than leave you worrying.
