I'm 24 weeks pregnant and for the past 2 weeks or so I've been feeling less movement. At about 21/22 weeks the baby was kicking up a storm, especially after a cup of tea or anything sugary. Now I seem to be feeling less and less movement, and today I've barely felt anything at all. She still moves occasionally, and was moving around last night. Is this normal, or should I be worried?

I agree. My baby's due on Friday and last week I had one day with considerably less movement than normal. Went to hospital to get him checked out. Goes without saying that the moment they hooked me up, his little heart was banging away and he started wriggling, but it was really reassuring. I felt like a total muppet but the midwives were utterly lovely and told me I'd done the right thing. Don't risk it...

This is going to sound awful, but have you tried drinking some coke?

There was a thread last week where a woman who was 33 weeks felt less movement. Every reply told her to get it checked asap. She had a scan in the morning and all was fine. I would get a scan for peace of mind.
