22+2 days
I’m the most anxious person ever, I go through weeks of ‘this is a breeze’ and less movement than normal and I’m absolutely freaking out and my anxiety takes over! Does anyone have any support for how I can help myself here? It’s draining in itself with pregnancy at times, but my brain on top is another thing!

i’ve had spells of this ! my midwife assured me that it’s normal to have no patter of movement and baby mimic your activity levels ? now i’m on 2 weekly appointments as coming up 30 weeks i feel much calmer x
I was/am the same way. At 24 weeks my baby decided to stop kicking strong after being a very active boy. I went to the hospital and they said he probably was too little to even pick up his movement on their monitor. He moved literally the entire time and they were shocked. I still didn’t feel it the entire time I was there. That’s what ultimately gave me peace. As they age the movements change and sometimes feel less because they gain more control and are less spastic with their movements. Even knowing what I know and my experience at the hospital, I still get a little freaked and worried when I feel like I haven’t really felt him. What has helped my sanity is kick counting twice a day. Like really sitting down and focusing, cause even being on my phone distracts me enough to miss some!
