When should I worry about baby not moving?

Question

I am currently 25 weeks and over the past few weeks baby has been moving more and more. It’s not always predictable, but I can sort of guarantee it after food, when I go to bed, certain times like that. Yesterday and today I’ve noticed a real reduction in movements - although he is definitely still moving, just noticeably less. Should I be worried about this and call the midwife or is it normal? 
Thank you 😊

Answer

As long as you feel movement in a day don’t worry. I know easier said than done as I’m 23 weeks now and I freak if I’ve felt nothing in 2 hours 😅

Answer

That’s normal. Baby is probably going through a growth spurt. I just asked my dr about this last week.

Answer

Yes,  it can be normal, but it can also mean something else. If you have change in movement that is significant I would always go to labor and delivery to be seen. Would you rather something be wrong only because you felt silly asking? I’m sure all is well, but I know some moms that should of gone in or called and hadn’t.

Answer

You know your body best. Don’t let anyone tell you “it’s normal”. I did that and biggest mistake of my life at 24 weeks. 💔 if you’re feeling baby move at least once a day that’s good. Try to drink something sugary or cold and lay still. Trust your instinct. If you’re worried get seen.

Answer

30 weeks. My dr told me they should be moving every day. As long as you feel some type of movement you are good. Mine has days where shes all over the place and others where shes chill.

Answer

This is totally normal!
