does anyone know when your supposed to moniter your babies movements?

Some things say 28 and others say later on! I'm keeping my eye on things now though because baby is quite active at certain times xx

im nearly 22 weeks and id say mine has a pattern already but some days he doesnt move at all i rang midwife and she said not to worry but obv i did 🙈 xx

Mine have been like that since about 22 weeks, I've got a Doppler at home so if I think she isn't kicking as much I just check to see if I can get her heartbeat, sometimes they can just be comfy where they are xx

dont depend on the Doppler @hannah2310 xx my friend learned that the hard way xx

I don't depend on it, it's just nice to hear sometimes, been to hospital twice already with complications so I don't want to rely too much on it anyway xx

ive heard the same @cheryltomkinson1985 dont rely on it xx

no without being negative baby wasn't moving but heartbeat was there and he was strangled by the umbilical cord: devastated xx please count the kicks xx

I love counting kicks, and I appreciate the advice to be honest, it's a scary time for anyone, especially if there have been losses xx

yeah they are little miracles xx so loved already xx

Officially count the kicks recommend from week 27 onwards as it's harder to establish a pattern any earlier than that. I was monitored for reduced movements at 26 weeks and the midwife who treated me was really rude to me and made me feel silly for bothering them by going up the maternity unit but when I told my normal midwife she said it's not silly, and you should report any changes as triage or maternity can assess if there's cause for worry or not. So if you're worried, call. If not then don't worry x

i think you know your instincts and id stick to them whether they are rude with you or not xx

27 weeks hun @mummy800
