30 weeks, few movements, no pattern

[KinderWild]

30 + 4 weeks, second viable pregnancy.

Pregnancy 1 emergency induction at 37 weeks due to sky high bile acids and OC (reduced movements for 3 weeks prior led to tests and oc diagnosis).

So this pregnancy, I have an anterior placenta. Felt some movement in weeks 27 and 28. Very little since. I can go a whole day with nothing. There is no patterb. I know the movement is harder to feel with an anterior placenta and I need to look out for low down, up top and the sides, but there is virtually nothing I can detect. Sometimes my stomach gurgles. Apparantly this is movement but feels digestive to me. Mentioned it to midwife who put me on a twice weekly ECG plan. Had the third visit yesterday and since his trace is fine and they can see him moving on the ECG all my future appointments have been cancelled. I have been told to return if "I am worried".

So I am lying here. Haven't felt him move all day - not unusual. But also no way of knowing if it's normal or something to worry about. In short I can't make any assessment, I have no reference. I don't know when to worry.

I am left feeling quite alone and that the midwife didn't believe me that I can't feel anything. I am not expecting to be monitored all the time. But I know that watching your babies movements is key in ensuring they're okay and I would quite like some so I could blooming monitor them.

But what to do when you can't feel them? Any thoughts?

Go to the hospital asap even if you have to go all the time its not worth the risk of just ignoring no movements. At 30 weeks you should feel alot of movements. Ring the maternity ward asap

Can I just say I am in kind of a similar situation. I'm nearly 29 weeks. But I do have some days with a lot of movement. I have other days when I don't feel anything all day. I find putting my hands on my stomach I can feel movement on my hands that I can't feel internally. It's a real worry isn't it? I also have an anterior placenta and it does make a lot of difference.

But even on the days with lots of movements, I can count them on both hands. So probably not actually lots of movement.
