Reduced movements

Do you have to be 24 weeks to go in to be checked for reduced movements? I’m 23 weeks and she’s normally very active in the morning around 8/830 and on an evening 9/10ish but have not felt her really at all today! I have been extremely busy doing last minute Christmas shopping so not sure whether I just haven’t noticed movements.

No hun you can go any time you notice reduced movements and they will check the heart beat! However you do have to be 24 weeks to be put on the monitor where they put the straps on your belly! But if your worried go in for peace of mind that they will check babies heart rate for you x

I was literally in every other week as I was so paranoid with my first and all was fine every time it was just me overthinking but best to check to put your mind at ease x

@Courtney Thankyou! Wasn’t sure that was all, she’s actually just kicked and I can feel her moving around a little bit now but waiting to check she moves abit more before I go in to get checked xx

I hardly ever feel baby if I’m out and about! I called triage about something else and also asked about this and she said not to expect a regular pattern of movement until 30 weeks. But also if you’re worried there’s no harm in getting checked!

Eat something cold and sugary like ice cream. Usually gets them going!

@Tate Kiera🌷 honestly girl most of it is probably in your head as I would literally be crying thinking something was wrong but it wasn’t, it was just all the unknown but sometimes it’s just such a relief hearing that heart beat just to give yourself some reassurance! Hope your doing ok with your pregnancy xx

@Courtney it probably is in my head! I know they don’t recommend a Doppler because of false reassurance but I do have one😂 I have listened to her heartbeat she is ok🫣😂 I’m just gonna wait it out before I get too worried! My pregnancy has been amazing thank you I can’t even lie! I’ve had a really nice experience compared to some people! Very lucky! Hope everything is okay with your pregnancy too xx

Awww yeah do what ever gives you reassurance!❤️ that’s so good to hear yeah pregnancy is much easier second time round to be honest as I’m so occupied with my toddler lol! Just found out it’s another girl it’s honestly been my dream having 2 girlies so I’m over the moon🥺💞

Hey hun I went to hospital a few times for reduced movement, if your unsure just get checked hun better to be safe than sorry even if you’ve been busy sometimes it’s hard to notice movement when your so busy but no doubt youl get up there and then little one will start kicking like crazy my little girl did it all the time 😂😂 xx
