Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Are you me? Lol I could have wrote this haha exactly the same loads of movement yesterday and not as much today but I do have an anterior placenta so I always put it down to that! Whenever I think I’m figuring out a pattern she always goes and changes things on me 😂😩

Can be completely normal! Might just be that baby has turned to ur back so all movements are absorbed in your back rather than belly. If you’re worried call triage for ctg
Just don’t tell them u have a Doppler because they’ll tell you off 🤣 I love my Doppler and my midwife is on board with it but anyone else is massively against it because ‘a heart beat doesn’t mean a healthy baby’

I would call triage if you’re worried xxx

It’s not advisable to use a Doppler unless you’re trained to use it cause sometimes you might be hearing your heartbeat. I’d call triage if you’re worried

Im almost 30 weeks now and still have days where I only feel a few flutters! Think it’s just the positioning sometimes x

Sometimes no pattern is their pattern. Both my pregnancy’s my babies have never had patterns. Definitely quieter days sometimes than others. But if you’re ever worried, triage will always be there. x

I’ve never noticed specific patterns in either of my pregnancies but if you’re worried I’d get checked out

Just think that maybe some days the baby is more tired than others ?! No different to us we aren’t always on the move lol , I sort of have a pattern to an extent but changes all the time depending on what I’m doing too ! Had a massage the other day he didn’t stop kicking the whole time when usually at that time he doesn’t lol 😂
But if you are worried always call the non-urgent line

I usually fine making the call to triage gives them the motivation to move, it’s incredibly irritating, especially with two other toddlers at home. My first pregnancy- a pattern never formed so I’d give it 12 hours from last movement before heading in x

Is diarrhea common in the third trimester?

I'm at the start of my third trimester and without being too crude, I have had liquid stools for the last 4/5 days. I mentioned it to the midwife a few days ago and she appeared to be surprised and said if it continued to contact my GP or a midwife, at this point it had been happening for 2 days minimum. Is this normal?
