Baby movement increase

[1stimeMum2b]

I’m 30 weeks +4. Tonight I feel like my baby hasn’t stopped for the last 2 hours which isn’t like him, movement is usually a lot less and not at this time. I rang the Maternity assessment unit and they told me not to worry, more movement isn’t a concern only less movement- anyone had any experience with baby moving more being a concern?

If you are worried ring again and tell them you are concerned and you would like to be assessed

I’d phone back and see if you can get a different person and explain there’s been a drastic change in your babies movements and you are worried. They do say to report any changes.

Years ago I reported a change in my babies movements, they said the same, to only worry about a reduction, I took that advice and it was a terrible decision, so I’d always encourage to phone back. Although to be clear, it wasn’t an increase in my case, just a change, so don’t panic! But also don’t be afraid to call again.

Have you had anything rather sugary or cold to eat/drink? That may of give baby a energy boost?

If you are worried
Dont listen to other people
Trust your instincts
Get seen tonight

Thank you everyone @OutofControl3 i had a Chinese, lots of crispy seaweed and soda water and juice x

Please ring back if this continues. For my DS he wouldn't stop moving and it felt so scary like he wanted to come out. I went into hospital and was induced early as due to him being so active they couldn't get a resting heartbeat. Please ring again. You should go in for ANY change in babies movements. Good luck OP and keep us posted x
