July 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

Reduced movements

So I'm 37+1wks, was in triage last week due to unexplained bleeding, was sent home as consultant was "not concerned". Mentioned a change in my baby's movements then and was fobbed off with "she's probably sleeping", have felt her less each day since and movements seem weaker. Feel like I should go back, but don't want to waste their time if it's nothing. Like she's still occasionally wiggling but nowhere near as much nor as strong as say a week or 2 ago... Had bad contractions last night too (also being on & off for about a week but at its worst last night) and lost my plug over a week ago. Cold drinks, exercise, sugary foods, poking her, etc doesn't do much either. She used to beat up my partner when he touched my bump but even with that she just kinda rolls away from him and stops, instead of giving him a good kicking party.

Second child, just can't shake the feeling that something is off... Has anyone else had this? Gunna call triage in a bit to explain to them too. Personally feeling exhausted, I'm so over being pregnant too which doesn't help, just can't help but feel like I'm going to get fobbed off and sent home again.
