Baby movements

[Goldenmother]

I'm 17 weeks 5 days and I can feel the baby moving around not all the time but today I've felt some movement but not as much even when I poke my belly I'm not getting a movement this is my 3rd pregnancy should I be worried ?

Call your midwife or maternity unit. I am 22 weeks and was worried this morning as baby hadn't moved much overnight or this morning. Went in Doppler done and all reassured. Midwife said I had done the right thing

Thank you I've just had a bit of movement so I'll monitor I normally feel more movement of a night time

@MrsH497 all is ok now ba ya is awake and moving around just gets worrying when you don't think you've felt as much movement but I do normally feel more late evening, congratulations on your pregnancy do you know what your having ?

@Goldenmother no we've not found out. I normally get a bit more activity in the evening. Soon as I got back from the hospital baby hasn't stopped moving today! Do you know what you're having?

Your baby still has lots of room to move around at 17 weeks and can often move to places where you feel them less. Monitoring of regular movement patterns isnt expected until 22/24 weeks. By all means call your midwife or the hospital day unit if you are concerned and seek advise but they possibly wouldn't invite you for monitoring until a bit further along.

No not found out yet hopefully they can tell me at my 20 week scan when I was pregnant with my daughter due to her position they couldn't tell me so hopefully they can this time
