Massive reduction in movement

Hi everyone
I am nearly 36 weeks. For the last three or four weeks, this baby has been moving so much its felt like she has been trying to break out of my body through my skin (sorry - bit graphic but you get the picture) several times a day for up to 20-30 minutes at a time with really strong feeling and visible from the outside jerky movements and rolling type movements. Today I've had hardly anything. I phoned the maternity number and they told me to go in. I was put on a monitor and they have said heartbeat is fine apparently. The lady there told me that if it doesn't go back to normal and I'm not happy that I can phone and go back in.

I still have had barely any movements. I'm thinking of phoning tomorrow and going back in for another go. I was also told that they may do a scan to check a few more things if I do end up going in again.

Has anyone else had a really dramatic reduction in movement? Did it last for a couple of days? Was everything ok?

So glad all is well. Sounds like the medical team are in the ball too and keeping a watch over you. Never worry about how bothering them.
Try and enjoy your last few weeks of pregnancy and rest/relax!

Delighted to hear all is well. I'm glad you went back.

Enjoy your last few weeks

Glad to hear it is all ok. Never be afraid to go in. My midwife told me they would rather see me 100 times for reduced movement then not. Good luck! Not long to go now.

I'm glad you went in and are being monitored.
