I would give them a call now, so they can arrange to see you and ckeck baby over. My midwife keeps telling me that they are happy to see me even if its a false alarm so not to hesitate to call them. At least it will put your mind at rest and stop the worry. Hope all is ok little katie

i agree phone now always better to get it checked x

I phoned about reduce movement a couple of weeks ago and midwife told me to lie down, take a cold drink and a sugary sweet/chocolate wait an hour and if she still wasn't moving much to go and get a check up. She also said u can try putting something cold on your tummy like ice or frozen peas and that should get the little one moving. But defiantly gone if you are worried, it's always better to be safe than sorry x

I agree if still no movement call the midwife or fetal health unit at the hospital and go get monitored. It's just not worth the risk or the worry x
