To phone the maternity department because of a feeling?

I'm 41 weeks and have had a feeling like something is wrong all afternoon. Nothing to back this up, it's just a feeling. Sort of like dread but I don't know why.

I can't tell if I'm just fed up of being pregnant or something is wrong. I'm still getting movements (maybe less than usual, I don't know, it's never been in a reliable pattern, but then am I just making up reasons to try and explain this feeling?!) Anyway, I tried the fizzy drink and lay down trick and felt the baby moving.

So AIBU to want to phone the maternity department because I just feel odd? Is there anything they'd even be able to do?!

I remember my ex-husband calling the hospital as my first born wouldn't settle on the first night at home!

Well this is an exciting thread! I was induced at 38 weeks. Wasn't the best of experiences. Good luck for a smooth delivery Flowers

Please please go in! Any change in movement needs to be checked out.
