worried about decrease in movement

[sassy123]

since yesterday i have hardly felt bub move. there are normally certain times of the day he drives me insane and i have been takin notice of these times and i have had hardly any movement. normally in the arvo around 3 he kicks heaps but yesterday i only got like 2. then of a night when i have to get up to pee after i have pee'd he will kick/hiccups for like a hr and it takes me forever to get back to sleep but last night i had none of that. then i normally get woken up by kicking of a morning and i lay in till DD wakes up but this morning i only got 3 little light kicks after i had been laying there for like a hr waiting for a kick.

Should i ring the mat ward and see wat they think or am i over reacting?

I would ring and get peace of mind hun and see what they say. Bubby is probably having a quiet day - I remember a few heart attacks with mine but they must have just been sleeping.

I would ring and ask them if you can pop in for a quick ultrasound to ease your mind. You are at the tail end of your pregnancy, so the movements will ease off as your little one doesn't have as much room to move around
Definitely give them a ring to at least talk things through.

dont they say lie down and have a cold drink or am i totally wrong. i hope the hospital can put your mind at ease hun xx

Have a really cold drink, something sweet and a lie down. And if that doesn't work, give them a ring.

Like the other girls said, there were a few times I was worried about missy's movements but having something sweet and cold always worked for me. I used to have strawberry milk - that would get the wee rascal going again!!

last night i had a coke and i got a bit of movement but not as much as i normally get if i drink any soft drink or anything like that. i have had a bit more movement this morning but still alot less then normal.

[MummaSue]

Maybe just give your care team a call hun, they will totally understand. Just for reassurance xxxx

ring the midwife if your not happy huni, hope you are ok xox

Please get on the phone and call the middy Hun. The best indicator of bub's health is the movements felt by mum. If you have noticed a decrease then it's important to listen to that and get checked.

as everyone has said, just ring. You know your body and baby and they should be supportive when you ring. And if you don't feel like you have been heard or are still worried ring again. My baby certainly had very quiet times, and during these times she would often get the hicups which made me feel a little better!
Go well x

i rang before they told me that aslong as im feeling 10 in 12hrs then everything is ok, but even if i was gettin that and i felt it wasnt right i could go in.
he is starting to move more now. it just freaked me out cause usually he never stops so it was a huge dif.
thanks for all the support.

[Beach Mama]

So glad you called and movements have increased and if you have any concerns just call, that is what they are there for!

[MummaSue]

Glad to hear bubby is moving more and you're feeling better about it. xxx

Whenever i got worried about not feeling movements, i would just kinda scrunch or jiggle my belly with my hands.. lol to kinda wake them up. Not long after that i would always get some sort of movement. Im sure everything is fine xx
