Baby movement at 31 weeks.

31 weeks today and I've noticed the past couple of days baby doesn't move much at all during the day, only little movements when he does and its normally actual movement like rolling rather than kicking its not continuous maybe one here and one there. So I start to become worried as I panic thinking I hope hes okay but all of a sudden around 9pm as soon as I lie on my left hand side in my bed he starts and it's like a mini disco in my belly, kicking, rolling all a lot stronger movements?

I've tried the theory of lying on my left hand side on the sofa downstairs during the day to see if it worked and not much at all.

Anyone else had this pattern?

I am 35 weeks now and my little one has never really had a pattern.. Sometimes she will be very active during the day and not so much in the evening and sometimes the opposite... I even go through days where I barely feel her. I talked to the midwife who told me that her pattern is actually to not have any.
If your little one starts wriggling more in the evening than the day then that is fine.
But if you are worried at any point, just call triage to have it checked.

You really should get checked out If there is a change in movements, neither of mine had a really pattern, but I always got checked out If they were reduced in anyway

Go triage if you’re concerned

Even if you’re not concerned, I would say go to triage. It may be that your baby is forming a pattern of movement and that is great for you to recognise as you can monitor this as your pregnancy progresses. But if before now you were feeling more movement during the day, and this is less now as you seem to explain, you need to get checked out.
Movements don’t have to stop completely for there to be a problem and changes as you’ve described should mean a baby is checked on. I don’t want to worry you but you do need to pop into triage to get checked out.
