I’ve been able to feel movement for a couple of weeks now(not my first baby) but haven’t felt anything in the last 24hours. Should I be worried?

Not at 16 weeks no.....even with twins I didn't feel regular movements until 24 weeks plus and most hospitals won't see you until 28 weeks for lack of movement

Right ok. Thanks. Always a worry!

which hospitals are these?

ive only dealt with three but all were happy to see pg woman under 28 weeks for lack of movement and also encouraged this, so wondering why there would be a difference in policy

Definitely too early, but I remember being worried when I was under 20 weeks and felt so helpless

Honestly I phoned at 27+2 for reduced movements and was told I couldn’t go to the assessment unit as I wasn’t 28 weeks and if I was worried, phone my midwife and she’d do a Doppler Hmm this was 10pm too. Looking back I should have put my foot down. Luckily all was okay!
