Movement seems weak

So, I've felt movement for about 2 weeks now, it had got more obvious and stronger over that time, I'm 22 weeks btw.

The last couple of days it's seemed less, movement seems weaker, should I be concerned? I've been told previously on here that hospital won't be interested till 28 weeks, but I'm worried.

If you're worried ring MW but I've been told not to worry until 28 weeks.

I was worried at that stage but when I called the hospital they said they wouldn't do anything until 28 weeks. Midwife said the same ad baby can easily roll over and that's why you can't feel them. I've read other threads on here though where people have had more luck getting checked out.

Luckily as baby has got bigger I can feel her moving a lot more, so I feel a bit better now!

I was around 22/23 weeks when I felt lack of movement, I rang Midwife and was told to go to the hospital to get checked out to be on safe side. I went in and everything was fine and midwives were lovely. Ring Midwife to ease your mind I would x

I've had exactly the same so totally get the worry. I went in at 25+6 as I couldn't feel anything - turns out he was moving loads but my placenta was in the way. They won't put you on a trace til after 28 weeks in my trust but will check the baby's heartbeat plus your bp and urine. Ultimately the check only took 10 mins of their time (a lot more of mine as they were triaging people in actual labour, so fair enough!) But the reassurance was priceless. The baby still does have loads of room at 22 weeks but if you're really worried it's always worth going in. X

Ring and get checked out its really important so you don't worry as worrying is bad for you.

At your stage baby has probably moved to a different position making it difficult for you to feel but its soo important to be checked just in case. Please call either your midwife or the delivery suite.
