I'm 30 weeks and the baby's movements are very violent - should I be concerned?

I've been told to monitor movements very closely because I had a scan to assess growth the other day and they were a little concerned about the pressure of blood flow from the placenta...

Could you ring the midwife? I would if it were me. Hope all is fine xx

Any change in the baby's movements needs to be checked.

Was the blood flow too fast or too slow?

Hope you are ringing them now.,

Violent movement especially if it has suddenly happened, can be a sign that baby is in distress - I wouldn't ignore it just in case. please let us know if you are Ok x

normally i would say 'oh i wouldnt worry' but if you have been asked to monitor movements then calling would be a good idea

Thanks Well I went on the monitor last night and the baby seemed to be ok then, so fingers crossed. I didn't feel like going at all because I'm ill but figured I should and I suppose it's always important to get checked out.
