Im 24 wks + 1 and been feeling daily noticeable movements from around 17 wks started with the odd kick daily and has increased as the weeks have progressed. I have been noticing a pattern to baby’s movement over the last week where he usually kicks in the morning, mid afternoon and evenings when I’m seated relaxing and just before bed when I’m trying to fall asleep. On Friday baby had a quiet day and I only had a few kicks mid afternoon... worried I phoned my local hospital looking for advice after trying to get him moving. The lady was really quite blunt on the phone with me telling me I’m too early and at my stage in pregnancy you can go hours not feeling baby move because it’s still small. She didn’t give me a chance to explain I had been noticing a pattern. She told me to have a cold glass of water. I came off the phone and over the course of the next few hours after drinking water and sugary drinks I felt some more movement.
However today I woke up had breakfast baby still hadn’t moved so I had a sugary drink, still nothing at lunchtime... times I usually feel him moving. I was out with my mum shopping so we had some lunch felt a few flutters after eating ice cream but not strong kicks like I have been feeling. Then nothing all afternoon since then. Just about to have dinner so hoping he gives a few strong kicks after that... otherwise I will phone them back. Just a little put off phoning after the way she spoke to me on Friday as I was made to feel like an idiot. What would you do in this situation? Is it normal at 24 weeks to have stronger movements some days rather than others?
