From my experience and I have heard so many tragic stories in last 17 months since my DD died in utero - I talked to /met mothers who sensed reduced movements but didn't get it assessed or didn't know how important it was till sadly it was too late. I don't want to alarm anyone but save someone the unnecessary lifelong heartache of losing a baby.

As the others have said at least 10 movements in 24 hrs ~ after 28wks!

If you intinct tells you the baby is moving less or hasn't moved even for 12 hrs - get it checked - better to make sure baby is safe then wait and see. Though tragedy is rare it happens and the mothers blame themselves for not listening to their gut intinct.

It might be cord compression or cord tightening around the neck reducing movement or something else - tomorrow may be too late. They cannot refuse to see you or check the baby if you turn up at maternity ward no matter what the hour if you are worried about movement . JUST DO IT ! and don't wait. I would much rather appear a fool and a nervous,panicky mother than a be a bereaved mother.
