movements

Hey all just wondering if i should be worrying, bubs has moved about 5 times since 4am!! Is this good? Should i go for monitering?

DF isnt home he is working in sydney and i dont really want to go to town for them to send me home again, i dont know...

Advice please?

hmmmm, thats a hard one, may mean things are going to start happening soon (I've been told they dont move much when preparing to be born) but with saying that, I was told by my midwife if I dont feel movements at least 10 times a day to contact the hospital. Maybe give them a call & mention your concerns?

Good luck :)

Ring them & see what they say. They'll probably tell you to go in to be checked, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

all the best!
my bub is usually quiet from around 8am till 3pm and quiet again from 4pm till 7-8pm *i dont normally remember if the bub moves while im sleep*

Dust, my bubs is normally pretty active during the day, so thats why i am a little concerned about the lack of movement... I "know" he is ok but seriously it is stressing me a little, DF will be home in about an hour to an hour and a half so i will see what he thinks.
I reckon bubs is just preparing for labour.

I would give the hospital a call.

What about something sweet to eat, cold to drink????? Don't they say 10 movements in a 24 hour period, still can't hurt to give them a call. I am sure things will be okay, just sleeping.

Hi Scorpio
It5 is quite common for your baby to slow its movements later in pregnancy. He is probably just having a sleep. Try drinking a cold glass of OJ.
