It was normal for my pregnancy

the space in there is just getting smaller for them at this point so you’re more likely just feeling movements even more than usual because of this! but you can always go to your maternity unit in case, when i was around 30 weeks i felt like my baby was moving loads and loads more than usual so i went in! x

I would advise contacting triage. Every pregnancy is different and one baby being fine doesn’t mean another one will be. Any change in movements, increase or decrease, is safer checked than not. A sudden increase could signal fetal distress.

I’ve always been told active baby = healthy n happy baby bc I’d also be like what the

I would ring them if you're worried, there's no harm in being checked. I had to go in because my son's heart rate was constantly up. He was kicking me like mad so I was sent to be monitored. Everything was fine, he's just a bit excitable lol but I was relieved and glad I got checked.

Thankfully i had an appointment today and midwife said i dont need to be concerned with more movement... as space is less for the baby, the tend to move more. I just need to keep track of movement evry hour or so.
