Hi all
I am 35+2 and for the last couple of days I have noticed a change in my movement pattern. Usually baby is active in the mornings and evenings with bursts throughout the day, some painful as she is getting bigger!
But the last 2 days are noticeably different. She is very quiet of a morning and night but very active from midday through until around 10/11pm?
I was concerned yesterday due to the little/lack of movements throughout the night/morning compared to normal so yesterday morning I called the hospital and went in to be monitored. Baby's heartbeat was a stable 150 for around 20/30 mins with little movement, then when I moved onto my side there was more of a change with heart rate up and down and more movement felt. The midwife kept saying she has 'woken up' and was happy with her readings after around an hour.
After going home she was fine throughout the day, very strong movements, again quite painful in my ribs some of them and taking my breath away.
I'm finding that is happening again today though, so far quite quiet movements. Is this normal for the baby's pattern to change at this stage? Do I go back to the hospital?
At my 34 week midwife apt they said she was back to back so I was thinking has she changed now and I am feeling something different?
Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
