Can't stop worrying about movement.

I can't stop worrying about movements. An currently 24 weeks pregnant and am documenting every single movement I feel from the minute I wake up until I fall asleep. Sometimes this gets difficult, as if I'm busy/driving it is less reliable.

ATM I'm on a music tour with my husband sleeping on a tour bus & I'm really worried about not being near my local maternity ward. Please help me, any answers would be much appreciated, I'm going insane with worry.

I think it can be really stressful. You feel so responsible and it is scary.

When I was pregnant the midwife told me not to obsess over every single movement. Just pick a time every day when you can lie down quietly for an hour and count kicks. Otherwise try not to worry unless you notice a change in usual movements. Could you get a count the kicks bracelet or app so that keeps track of the kicks?

I think wanting to be near home is a normal part of late pregnancy. I'd plan to be at home for the last 4 or 5 weeks if you possibly can.
