Im 28 weeks +5 days. I dont think i have felt any movements today. I had a midwife check on Tuesday and hear his heart beat.
I have got a bit of a gassy windy tummy today, so i guess he could have moved but i confused it with that. What should I do?

Call your midwife team now. Don't muck about with reduced movements. Hope all is well Smile

Always get a change in movements checked out. However at 28 weeks it could well be just that the baby has changed position.

Call your midwife or delivery suite now. They will probably want you to go in to check all is well.

Call your hospital midwifery team. They will want to see you. You won't be wasting their time.

I called them. They have advise me to have a bath and a nice cold drink. Focus on feeling for kicks for half an hour. If nothing go in.

As i said i have had a bit of a sore windy stomach- just before i got in the bath i went to the toilet and it was quite loose. When i wiped there was some stringy discharge, not a huge amount.

Ive had a bath and an ice cold drink. Possibly felt some movement, but cant be 100% sure its not my dodgy tummy.
Ill give them a call back.

Yes please get down to triage. I promise they will want you in especially as cold drink trick hasn't worked. If you can, eat/drink something very sugary on the way (coke & choc). All the best.

Hello! Sorry for not getting back sooner!

Literally as soon as i got hooked up to the monitor he gave me the biggest boot! Grin

The midwife said that happens a lot! She was very pleased with the reading. Phew!

So, so happy for you :) Really wishing you the best for the rest your pregnancy and thank you for letting us you and the baby are OK x

mammycampbell · 19/10/2014 22:14

ach i am a sucker for a happy ending. that's great news :) it seems a huge responsibility sometimes, being the only one who can speak up for your baby and trying to be vigilant if movement slows/stops. hope he's been kicking away ever since X
