I was wondering if anyone could help... Im 27+2 weeks and usually have a really active little boy, especially at night. It usually hurts, but it makes me smile to know he's okay!
On Monday, me and my partner had intercourse and I felt two really sharp pains on the right side of my uterus. This scared me a bit and after the pain went I decided to keep an eye on the baby's movements. I noticed that he was not moving any where near as much as he usually does, but I thought about it and I don't recall feeling him before intercourse either. On Tuesday, as I had only felt very slight movements and infrequently, we insisted a doctor seen us (just at the docs office, this was around 4pm, which was about 30 hours since intercourse). After two doppler machines, he finally found a heartbeat at 150bmp, though it was faint (I'm not sure if this was a volume issue with the doppler). The heartbeat was the only thing that was checked and I was sent home. Today, I have again only felt slight movement/pressure. I've just tried monitoring them, and in 1 hour I felt 3 movements, though, nothing major - usually at this time of night, I'd be uncomfortable as his kicks hurt. I've also got sudden back cramp today, like period cramps. It's constant unless I'm sitting, and I can't bend.
I've decided if things don't pick up by tomorrow, we will head to the hospital for a check up. I'm not satisfied that only his heartbeat was checked, as someone said before, this just means he is alive, not that something isn't up. I'm just curious, what would you do in this situation? Do you think I should be concerned and head back? I'm terrified that I've left it too late!

they said to get in touch if I'm still concerned, but he seems to have started moving again now! I think he must have been in a different position! I think I'm also trying to look for symptoms as my sister had her first at 29 weeks, and my friend just had hers at 24, so I'm worried! I have the midwife tomorrow and a 4D scan on Tuesday, so if anything is wrong, I'm sure it'll be picked up!
