17 weeks - all of a sudden no movement for days

I’m 17.4 weeks and have been regularly feeling movement since around 14 weeks.

For the last 3 days I haven’t felt anything

I normally feel Abby when I’m relaxing in bath or just laying quietly in bed but nothing.

Should I be worried?

My notes only talk about lack of movement much later on

Baby is still very small so probally changed Position so maybe why u can't feel much but phone your midwife and ask her as they know best x

Almost definitely just because baby is in a different position. As a community midwife I’d have no issue if you wanted to book an appointment to come and see me for a listen in for reassurance.

I felt a drop in movement at 18/19 weeks (I was already in hospital at the time) but they didn’t seem worried at all. Only checked it out because I was already on a ward and asked them very nicely to.
They kept saying ‘at this stage we don’t expect an established movement pattern’

DS was fine so assume they must have been right. I think they only really fuss about movement from 20+ weeks.

However, if it were me I’d be worried and seeking reassurance regardless 👍🏻
