Reduced movement today not sure if worry/

[sarahbeth2]

Normally really active baby and i havent had it the same today although it is moving every so oftern, have had headaches the past 3 days and not sure if to be worried or not as can still feel just not as much at all...

I would call the midwife/hospital and explain, they will be able to give you advice. I had the same (minus the headache) with reduced movement and I was called in for monitoring. All was fine and I was told off for not calling sooner (I had left it a few days as I was still feeling movement, just not as much). The advice is generally changes in movement, not the lack of them (although that as well obviously). They won't mind you calling and it will put your mind at ease.

Go and get checked out at the day assessment unit - ring labour ward and say you are coming in to be monitored as the baby's movements have changed.
Now.

Ring your midwife to get checked over. Better to be overcautious than miss a problem.

Think i will, thanks

Hope its all ok for you

I hope you went and all is well. Changes in movement are not worth mucking about with. Chances are everything is fine, but there's always a chance it's not and it's all about speed then.

Thanks, said I had some high blood pressure and baby 'woke' up when being monitored, they said this often happens due to the sound waves. Also have white blood cells in urine so sent them off for testing.
Shattered so think may just be over doing it as they kept asking if i had been doing too much!
Feel reassured though

Thanks for the update hope they are going to keep an eye on your blood pressure. Glad you feel reassured, maybe this is your cue to put your feet up a bit!

Good to hear it's good news. If it's any reassurance I find that mine goes through phases, sometimes he barely moves, other times I think he's having a party or building a new home in there. Midwife says that if that is 'normal' for me, then it's fine.

Glad everything seems to be ok. I had a similar thing last Friday and it turned out that the baby was facing inwards, so that the legs were tucked up inside. No wonder I felt less movement. Anyway, I'm glad I did get it checked or I would have fretted all weekend. And we don't need added stress do we???
