Movement at 25 weeks...when to worry

Hi All, first time mum to be here, I am looking for some advice about when to worry. I have been feeling kicks most days, however, these seem to have slowed down somewhat over the weekend(not surprising as I was fairly busy). Then, this morning I had a bit of a dizzy spell whilst waiting on the bus and have had a bottle of lucozade to try to get my head together. I have still not felt any movement yet today and I have been sat at my desk since 8.30am. Should I be worried yet? I know patterns etc are not common at 25 +2 x

It's a bit early for patterns I think, but if you've been feeling kicks fairly regularly and now aren't, or there's a definite change in what's normal for you, you need to call your midwife. There's still plenty of wriggle room to go and hide in a corner or change position so you can't feel little one, but please call your midwife or labour ward triage to discuss.

I was in exactly the same position last week...am 24+5 and up until last tuesday had a very regular pattern from about 21 weeks. Then nothing! Spoke to my midwife who said that it's nothing to worry about until 28 weeks. ..I had my 24 wk appt at the wkend and heard the heartbeat...and he's wrigglin away now. I think he was just havin a few lazy days last wk! So I wouldnt worry!! xx

My midwife always said if you are concerned then call. They would rather see you to put your mind at rest. Advice usually given is have a glass of cold water and lie in your left side if still nothing then ring. My dd was always doing this to me but usually the cold water worked x

Much movement since OP?

My baby was quiet today. I've just eaten an orange and have my feet up and he/she is gone crazy in there.
Worth a try?

just starting to have a wriggle this am. couldn't get through to triage last night (so much for a 24 hour number!) have just spoken to someone who told me that as I am not yet 26 weeks I can't come in. I have a scan with the consultant on Friday anyway so fingers crossed all is well! Thanks for the replies xx
