Hi i am 27+6 weeks pregnant and have had strong movement since about 22 weeks but the past few days i have felt hardly anything and starting to panic.

I'm worried about wasting peoples time though, as this is my first not sure what to expect.

If i call someone who should i phone doctor or hospital? My doctors are not very helpful at the best of times but the hospital i have been having my scans at only have a EPU can i still call them this far on or should it be the hospital i am going to give birth at?

Also at work now and don't have midwifes number on me.

Don't worry about wasting peoples time!

I am not sure about policies, but locally any change in movement should be reported to midwife/hospital and they request you to go in to the day unit to be monitored for a while.

Please ring them.

Missed last bit sorry, contact the local hospital (switchboard will do if can't get another number) and they will transfer you to the day unit or equivalent.
