Reduced movements

26 weeks and haven’t really felt little baby all day, she’s usually super active & I have a posterior placenta so I feel her all the time usually. I did feel her ever so briefly earlier right down into my pelvis. I was at maternity triage the other night with tummy cramps but everything was fine and so was baby. What should I do? I don’t want to feel like a nuisance?

Get checked out they don’t mind you going for reassurance that’s what they told me with mine

Go in! It will make you feel better. You won’t regret being checked x

Baby is probably turned inwards, I feel less when my baby is down in pelvis and kicking inwards. Also, they can also become more still if you are slightly dehydrated. But still check just to make sure x

Deffo go in again. I went to my delayed 24 week appointment last week and the midwife was really firm about ANY change needs a triage visit, she said even if that's 3 times per week, it's best to be checked

I’ve just had something to eat and felt a good few kicks! I have a feeling she’s been hiding in my back today…going to keep a close eye x

For future reference I was told of the other day for not going in 🤣 they said you should try something to eat/ drink and if still nothing to call for a ctg . Ctgs should be preformed the same day as movements change

Glad everything’s okay

I swear they all say different things. My midwife said don’t try and make the baby move by eating / drinking / lying down on your left side etc. Any change whether it’s reduced or increased movements should be checked. You really don’t know what to do for the best 😭

Always go in when this happens. Better safe than sorry!

My son did this a few times and he was fine but you just never know x
