I am trying not to go mad but have significantly reduced movements in the last 4 days both in terms of amount but more significantly (I think??) strength of movements. He is moving a lot less and the movements are very slight. I first got checked on Friday night and heart beat was great. The dr also did a very quick scan but that was to look at his position only (3/5 engaged) I was checked with the monitor for 20 minutes on Monday and his heartbeat was fine again but can't shake my concern that the movements are less but more the issue is that any movement is very slight.... On both occasions above me and dr did not specifically comment as to why there would be reduced movements except that his head is locked on.
Am I going mad and worrying for nothing??? I can't seem to get a clear answer and you hear lots of different things such as it being normal to have a reduction in movements towards the end. Any thoughts/advice would be great!
