Reduced movements 22 weeks

[CrabbyPatty]

Hi, I'm 22+2 and have noticed baby's not moving around as much over the past couple of days. I get so busy at work that I've only really processed this now. She usually moves a lot at night and the past two nights she hasn't really. I've just had a Google and the advice is to get checked ASAP. I've rung the labour ward and they asked me to come in in an hour - any reassurance/advice in the meantime? :(

It’s really early, chances are it will be absolutely fine. You lose the feeling of the movement all the time in the early days - doesn’t even mean they’re not moving. They’ll check the heartbeat. I’m sure all will be fine x

I was quite chill and suddenly the anxiety has crept up on me.

I had very similar with DD1 when I was about 30 weeks - we'd had a hectic weekend away and I just hadn't noticed any movements. I also went in to be monitored at about 38 weeks as I hadn't noticed any movements - needless to say she started doing somersaults once I was hooked up to the monitor! Hope it all goes ok.

I was always told to try a cold drink and lay on my left side and see if I could feel movement, best to go to the hospital they will check heartbeat etc xx

It’s orobably going to be fine, at that stage they can wriggle themselves round into a position where you don’t feel as much. Sensible to go in though.

Are you okay op? Xx
