Babies Movements

I'm 35 weeks today. I'm probably being completely paranoid but I'm sure my baby hasn't been moving much in the last 12 hours.
Every night when I go to bed she usually moves around for about an hour before I go to sleep. But she didn't do that last night and I haven't had much movement this morning.

I have had some movement, but it feels different somehow. I can hardly feel the movements but have felt something going on in there maybe 3 times this morning but its definitely not as strong as usual.

So when do you worry and when do you call your midwife? I don't want to call her and waste her time and mine when I'm sure there's nothing wrong.
Maybe its because bubs is running out of room? so the movements are as strong all of a sudden or she might have even changed position.

Oh I really don't know, what do you think I should do?

Daniel did this to me lots!

Standard answer from the MW was to drink 2 glasses of very cold water and lie down and count movements. If I didn't get 10 movements by mid afternoon she said to give her a call back and get monitored.

I was told this to the cold water is surposed to wake baby up.

I was gonna say to ring your midwife too.
I think to many of us don't want to say anything when we are pregnant for fear of looking silly. The midwife is working for us, so no questions are too small or to big, that is what they are there for.
I figure if it eases your worry then it was worth asking about, no matter the reason.

i went through this last week. I could feel him moving ever so slightly, but he didnt perform during the day like he usually did. and i remember someone saying that if theres less movements then baby might not be well. so i figured if hes not active he might be ill....

anyway, rung the midwife and she asked me to come in for a ctg. when i got there she said that sure enough he will probably move for her, as most babies do.. and sure enough he did! so i felt a bit better that shes used to it. better to be safe than sorry!

I'm sure everything will be fine but good luck anyway - it never hurts to check to be sure.

I'm glad that baby is OK and how exciting that it may not be too much longer for you. Sounds like you have a good midwife too for encouraging you to call her with any concerns

Glad all is well and hope bub will stay put for you for a little while yet

Glad everything is OK mel
With hannah, she was fully engaged from 36 weeks and the mw told me to expect her any time...
She came a whole day early!
So just relax and enjoy the last few weeks you have with just your gorgeous wee girl before bubs comes
