increased movements a concern?

[nataliekristin]

Are increased movements at 38 weeks as much a concern as decreased? or is it normal for baby to move more the closer you get to due date?

No, they are not of as much concern as reduced movements.

It's ANY change in the pattern of movements that should be checked out.

Countess yes they are, as pp said it's the change in movements. Phone your mw

I was told by my obn to call in any change increase or decrease in movement. I was also told to call in if I had a 'gut' feeling of something not being right. My gut feeling of thing not being right turned out to be preclampsia.

Thanks, will give the hospital a call, probably nothing but better to be safe!

All ok Natalie?

Hope all is well. As PP have said, ANY change in movements is a reason to get checked out.

Hope all is well, my midwifealways said that if you're concerned then call them, much better to make a fuss and be sent home than to ignore a problem.
