I would like some reassurance if possible.. I am a long time lurker but 1st time poster so please be gentle with me. I am 36 weeks pregnant and over the last 2 or 3 days the regular kicks and punches I was getting have turned into rolls, squirms and thuds.
I rang delivery on friday who asked me to monitor and count for 2 hours in which time I had around 20 movements. They suggested going to a drop in clinic to have a listen in, which I did and the midwife was lovely and said at this stage this is normal as the baby has less room for dramatic movements but as long as I am feeling the baby move at least 10 times in 24 hours that is the main thing. The babys heartbeat was good and strong and she let me listen for a good few minutes.
I have also got my official 36 week appt with my usual midwife tomorrow where I will ask again just to make sure and put my mind at rest (if thats possible!)
I just wondered if anyone else had experienced this, I am worrying as this is a very precious pregnancy and baby after 2 early miscarriages last year.
Thanks everyone
