Increased fetal movement?

Not sure if this is classed as increased fetal movement, but would appreciate some advice? I'm 33 weeks pregnant & about 30 minutes ago my baby started kicking, nothing strong just taps but it was non stop for a full 15 minutes without stopping, he's never done this before ever, there would always be gaps between kicks and they've never lasted that long before. Because this isn't his usual pattern is this classed as increased fetal movement? Or does this sound normal. I'm having mild cramps in my tummy and my back that's coming and going, nothing painful just aches that is definitely there. Am I overthinking? Thanks xxx

If it's out with your normal pattern I would definitely give triage a call for some advice. No harm in popping there to be monitored if they suggest it x

I would say worth a call for advice especially as you have cramps too. Better to call and put your mind at rest than leave it and feel worried.

Worth a call. But are they very regular? If so could be that baby has hiccups. Kept happening to me and turned out that's what it was.

Always call, but could be hiccups if they are regular and not particularly forceful. ‘Taps’ would be exactly how I would describe it.

Always, always, always get any change of movement checked. I've been there with increased movements. Don't let them fob you off either with 'its good that baby is moving!' if something doesn't feel right, ask to be seen x

Call them! It could mean they are struggling. Keep us updated

Please call. It's probably just your baby working out a cool new truck but you don't need the stress of worring what if. I had lots of odd movement with DD and the midwives were always pleased I'd called. She is 4 1/2 now and is still prone to "moods".
