not sure if i should be worried or not

Hi

Im 34 + 2, normally i get lots of big movements all throughout the day but since yesterday ive hardly had any movement from baby, still getting some movements though, just not very often.

I had a antenatal appt on tue and my blood pressure was slightly higher than normal 130/79, its normally about 110/65, my midwife didn't really seem concerned, and im not booked in to see her again until im 38 weeks. Ive got to see the consultant at 36 weeks so im assuming they will do the normal checks at that appointment.

Ive been getting a lot of sharp pains down below, and running the toilet every 2 mins to do a non existant wee (or so it feels like), my dh thinks baby has got into a different position so im not feeling him move as much, obviously he's not medically trained and is just trying to reassure me. Ive looked on the net and it seems some women do have reduced movements in the later stages of pregnancy, so im probably just worrying for nothing.

Thanks anyway.

I'd give your midwife a call,see what she thinks.

Phone the midwife team at the hospital, better to be safe than sorry. They can monitor you for a while to see what is going on.

With regard to the sharp pains and increased frequency of peeing, you may have a UTI which will need treating.

Please phone them just in case. I am 34+5 and always count the kicks, see here.

Thanks, i know it sounds daft but i hate 'bothering' people, im not sure if she works at the weekend, i think i will ring our local maternity unit and see what they say.

All is ok, i rang my midwife. she told me to rest and see if i got any movement, if not to go upto the hospital. I have felt more movement as the day has gone on, i think i have just overdone it this week and needed to rest a bit more.
Thanks
