How long should I leave it? I can’t even remember the last time I felt her move, if at all today. I’m 26+5. She’s a very active baby and is always wriggling about.

If your worried give the local maternity assessment unit up. Its not till 28 weeks they develop a pattern but you know your baby

call now, dont wait and see.

Agree with above. Call now. I'm sure it's all fine but always better to be safe.

Call and go in... insist if you need too! I had an anterior placenta and was in 4 times a week from 32 weeks... turns out I had very low LV, baby was breach, and was failing to thrive. Ended up with a planner section at 36 weeks after two lots of steroids. They said there is no way she would have survived much longer and had I not gone in so much, they wouldn't have scanned me and found out. Please trust your instincts.

I hope you've called. Never wait, always best to get checked.

Windchangeface · 27/01/2021 19:07

Call now!! It’s never a fuss to check a baby. I was also told at my consultant apt yesterday thar it’s 24 weeks they expect them to be in a pattern.

PFin · 27/01/2021 19:12

Now never wait. If you are ever in doubt call!

Buttonbob · 27/01/2021 19:12

Go in and get checked. It’s no good worrying at home. You’ll be glad you went in.

Queenbee95 · 27/01/2021 19:36

I’ve sat down and eaten and I have felt a couple movements which is reassuring. Think I’ve maybe just worried myself

Have a glass of cold water, meant to get them on the move. Scary when they don’t move around!

Oneandabean · 27/01/2021 20:36

From 24 weeks is movement, from 28 weeks is a regular pattern. If you are at all ever worried please go in and get checked. Never wait, I’ve been in twice and both times baby started doing riverdance when I got there, but better to be safe.
