Movements at 26 weeks - advice?

[2boysandadog2]

Has anyone had a less wriggly/quieter baby movement wise?
This is my 3rd pregnancy that has gone this far. The other two were big movers. This one is hardly noticeable for most of the day then will have a big moving session in the evening but that’s it.
I have had a foreboding feeling about this pregnancy since the start that it wouldn’t work so I am trying not to overthink it.
When I asked my midwife she said if I feel the pattern has changed or she isn’t moving as much to call the hospital, but the movements haven’t changed or reduced, she just doesn’t seem to move a lot.
she does move so i know she is ok, it’s just a bit disconcerting how quiet she is.
I keep on almost calling the hospital but then I feel her move and don’t want to waste their time.

so just looking for other people’s experiences with less active babies, did you get it checked out or just accept that they weren’t quite as wriggly? Thanks.

If you are worried call them... even if you go to triage, they put you on the monitor and all is fine, or they scan you and everything looks fine you haven't put them out, they are there to look after pregnant women and their babies. The alternative/worst case is you don't call them because you feel "silly" or think "I'm overreacting" you don't go and get checked and something is wrong but isn't found until it is really wrong and too late to do anything! Well I know what I'd prefer anyway...

If you think something isn't right go and get checked! My answer is always the same when people post this sort of question!

As someone who has a stillbirth at 27 weeks and had the same intuition beforehand, please please get checked and always go whenever you feel concerned, it’s not worth the risk.
