Increased Movements

Hello! Almost 34 weeks and I've noticed an increase in movements the last few days. Should I be worried?

I don't think you need to worry If you feel baby move more.
It's when they move less that they say you need to get yourself checked over.
Baby might just be finding the perfect position in readiness for his/her appearance in a few weeks 🥰
My mom told me that when she carried me I was relentless the last few weeks and her belly literally looked like I was trying to escape! I've always been claustrophobic 😂😂

A sudden increase could be a sign of distress, however if its gradual over a couple of days I don't know if that still applies.
OP if your concerned please ring your midwife and get checked.

I'm 35+1 and have days where baby is super active then days when she is really chilled out

If it's a sudden change and you're concerned though, give MAU a call just to run it by them.

Any change in movements, go get checked out. They won't mind 😊

I had a day around 34 weeks where baby was moving from when I woke up and hadn't stopped by 11.30am which was really unusual for me, so I rang up midwife. She said to come in to get checked if was still moving for another 2 hours.
Baby had calmed down in them two hours so I didn't need to go get checked and everything was fine after then. Deffo ring if you're worried though and they'll advise you.
