Not feeling movements

Hi everyone

put a post on yesterday that we had been feeling reduced movements for 5 days and pretty much nothing for 3 days

we have been to maternity a few times and they have checked heartbeat, nothing changed so went in again last night and they did a quick scan, she said baby is moving around and we could see it on screen

so they seemed happy and we went home. Appears baby is moving but all of a sudden my partner is not feeling it ? Her placenta is at the back
she always felt everything but now appears not to be, has anyone had this, still a bit worried

How many weeks are you? Always pays to get checked if you are worried. I know one of mine gave us a big scare around 24weeks, he just changed position but it .ade the movement a lot harder for me to feel

With both my previous pregnancies, at this stage I remember it would feel like movements had stopped for a day and then come back like nothing happened.

I think it's something to do how with how they're positions. Once you get to 3rd trimester, and they have less room. The movements are a lot more consistently felt.

You made a thread about this yesterday. If she has had the scan and all appeared well with baby then that is all they can do, but I would take that as a positive. Maybe the kicks are too light for her to feel at the moment.
