I would 100% ring up! Its worth someone checking you and baby just to make sure everything’s ok!☺️

Ring up. Especially if your worried about movements. Always best to be safe.

Definitely ring!

i just feel like ill be wasting time n they start getting bored of me kinnda as im always in there im such a worrier

I was the exact same!! I was in there several times but they always told me if I was worried about anything to always come in even if it’s a couple of times a day 😂

Love, you’re not wasting time, and the staff definitely won’t be bored of you ❤️ It’s their job to look after mums and babies - these are some of the kindest people you will ever meet ❤️ All will be well, but follow your mama instinct and either call or just go in xx

I would definitely call if I'd experienced what you've described. Better to be checked and it be nothing, than not and it be something. Sending hugs. X

I would definitely call, when i was pregnant i used to get scared of ringing the hospital up for reduced movements incase i went in n everything was fine. I was constantly overthinking what if the hospital think im wasting time but i went in once for reduced movements and every midwife will say it is better to be safe than sorry. 9/10 everything will be fine n it probably is because babys got less room to move or in a different position to normal so not feeling them move as much but i always think its best off getting checked xx

Always call about decreased movements come the first sign of them. As soon as you think “I’ve not felt my baba move” stay vigilant about the movements and if there is any decrease in activity make the call right away. You’re never wasting their time

Don’t worry about what they will think! When I was pregnant I went in for reduced movements and the midwife said she didn’t want to see me in there again for reduced movements because my baby was fidgeting loads when they put me on the monitor. I was induced the next day as he was in distress. Do *not* leave it on the basis you’re worried about what they think. I probably hacked them all off and I don’t care at all, because my beautiful boy was born at 36 weeks needing support in NICU, and he is now a healthy, thriving 1 year old. ❤️

waste their time. Who flipping cares? You're baby is way more important than their time rn

Always check. Never worth the risk

You should definitely call and get checked lovely. I had a similar experience during my pregnancy where I had been in a couple of times with reduced movements. Everything seemed ok until I was 40+3 and ended up having to have an emergency c-section as they had to get the little guy out asap. Always put you and baby first and do not worry about anything else x

Ur concerned. Its enough. Call

what an awful midwife. I hope you found the time and energy to complain!
