Reduced movements but CTG ok?

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and for last few days I just feel like baby's movements have slowed down/changed. For example, she would always move after eating breakfast, but for the last few days she doesn't. I went in yesterday and was monitored, I've been monitored once before a few weeks ago and this time the monitor took longer to give the all clear. Anyway, they said that as I had a scan a few days ago which was normal that there's no concern. I'm just not sure if I'm over reacting or not despite thankfully being told that they're satisfied...

I'd go in again for checking today. It's really important to take your own knowledge of your baby's movements seriously. Hopefully your little one is okay in there but there's no harm in checking.

Go back in again this morning OP. They can’t see everything on scans and if the baby is unwell they will decline over time. Keep going back, they can do a Doppler scan if needed, or do another normal scan.

Please go and get monitored again, I'm sure baby is fine however for your own peace of mind it's best to get checked and then you can relax x

It's in the guidelines to go back for further monitoring.

Thanks all, I think I will go in today if I still feel concerned

Please go back in. I was there alot with my first. They kept telling me she was fine, scans all good ctgs fine. She was born with sepsis. I just knew something wasn't right and she wasn't moving. My consistent nagging meant my baby was safe. Not trying to scare you sure baby is fine but better to be safe! X

My baby is now 10 weeks old and in the 3rd trimester I went in 6 times with rfm. I ended up having daily monitoring pretty much every day from 35 weeks with a csection brought forward at 38.2. I pushed and pushed for the consultant to listen as I was unhappy with movements even though all the ctgs and scans said all was okay. Trust your own judgements and continue to ring triage if you're unhappy . I did and make no apologies as a positive outcome is all that matters.
