Feeling movements is a sign of your baby’s wellbeing. From around 24 weeks pregnant you should start to notice your baby’s pattern of movements becomes more consistent.
If you are concerned the pattern has changed at any time during your pregnancy, please do not wait and call the Maternity Triage department immediately. Find our more about Maternity Triage.
It is very important you contact with ANY change to your baby’s movement. This might be no movements at all, fewer movements than normal or the movements feel slower or more gentle than usual.
It’s important that you have the confidence to call immediately. We no longer recommend lying on your side or drinking water or sugary drinks to encourage your baby to move. As soon as you notice the change in movements, call Maternity Triage.
