Reduced movement

I am finding reduced movement over the passed few days . Has anyone had this I had the midwife this morning and been told her heart rate sounds good. Still a bit worried going to try fizzy juice and lie on my left side ?

How far along are you? I’m 28 weeks and my little girl doesn’t have a pattern, she has days where she’s more active than others! If your ever worried that your little one’s not moving all that much lie on your left side and speak/poke at them, if your still worried call & go to your maternity unit, even if they’re okay there’s never any harm in being causous! xx

I've had the same thing. My baby was moving alot and then suddenly I had a nearly 2 days with barely any movement. I drank sweat drinks and ate sweets and played music to my bump and finaly the baby moved. I was told by the midwife to keep track of any changes and it scared me made me anxious but everyone else I spoke to was really relaxed about it and told me they do have quiet days. If you are concerned still call someone and get peace of mind. I downloaded a kick counter app and that relaxed me alot.

A little while ago I went to triage after several days of reduced movements (still some movements but weaker/less) and they said everything was fine too at this stage (I was 26+2) and that this was pretty normal. She said he’s just having a quiet few days and sometimes they curl up in a different spot in the womb so you don’t feel them so much. A couple of weeks later and he’s back to his wriggly self. Well done for getting checked out :)

I'm 30 weeks and similar, some days seem quieter than others and I'm constantly like should she not be moving more? If still worried later go get checked as anything can change since heard heartbeat. I feel a sort of pattern but then randomly feel she has not moved as much as past week am I overthinking etc.

Yeah I have noticed a difference in the movement . My midwife did say they can feel less strong as baby gets bigger . But still if something doesn’t feel right to get in touch with triage xx

I’m the same

I’ve noticed my baby not moving as much

But hoping it’s just a phase

Sometimes when I’m doing a bedtime meditation the baby moves so much I can’t concentrate!

I think when they are so little they move more but as time goes on they have less room x
