I'm twenty five wks tmrw and have been having difficult peg with three bleeds last one eighteen weeks and pelvic girdle. I freaked out today as coukd not feel him all day but did this evening. Then I thought I looked smaller and my boobs did not feel as heavy. Is it normal to change or should I be worried. He has sinnce moved a lot and I was at work today so maybe too busy to notice except he has been pretty vigorous last week and not as much day.

Not much in the way of advice sorry but didn't want you to go unanswered.

I've had this a couple of times in my pregnancy (am 38+2 now), especially when I was in work. My midwife said as long as I felt the movements, it was OK regardless of the time of day. If you really want reassurance, can you phone your local maternity unit in hospital and they will help put you at ease, or ask you to pop in to be monitored.

When have you been feeling movements since? It is still early on and I remember not feeling many at the same stage. I've got a Count The Kocks band, which you slide along every time you feel a kick. Can't link because I'm on my phone but if you google them, you can have a look for yourself and look at the information available. It's a great charity.

Sorry for the long post! Good luck Smile Hope your feeling better now anyway.

If you're worried, call your midwife. This happened to me last week so I called them and she made me an appointment for that afternoon to come in and be hooked up to a monitor. Sods law, the little terror then did not stop moving for the next 2 hours!
I called back to cancel the app and the midwife was sooo nice and said never think you're bugging them, always call and they'll always see you to settle your mind and that I'd done the right thing by phoning.
Ive noticed that if I'm busy or don't drink enough then I don't feel movements for ages, so don't worry too much but always worth phoning to put your mind at ease. X
