Hi everybody,
I know I might be a bit over-anxious here but would really appreciate your advice.
I'll be 25 weeks tomorrow and feel my little one's kicks every day. From monday to wednesday, he was extremely active and kicking quite hard, but yesterday and today I only felt very few and very light movements. Yesterday morning, I had a GTT, and the midwife also checked the baby's heartbeat which was okay then. But I can't really stop worrying and wondering if something is wrong and would like to know if you experience days where your babies are less active than usual.
Thanks xx
I'm so glad you asked this question. I'm 27 weeks and feel like you, a bit anxious about baby movements. Sometimes my little one moves quite a bit, lots of big hoofings and then other days hardly any movement, more like little bubble feelings, with long long long periods of not feeling anything, even after cold drinks. I get worried and don't want to call the midwife in case all of this is normal. I just don't know! My partner is very blase and isn't bothered whether I feel her a lot or a little and just says I like to worry (I don't! Lol!) I'm keen to hear what other say just as much as you are. My midwife did mention that during the day I ought to feel 10 - 12 movements/kicks. I haven't been counting as I think I might end up obsessing about it but do notice if the day before I was getting unmistakable hoofings and the current day considerable less. I always feel relieved when I feel her move, which she has done today but not without those worrying long gaps.
I had my GTT yesterday morning too! Didn't hear back from them so I'm assuming I don't have gestational diabetes.
All the best newlywed xxx
