Lack of baby movement

Yes I do remember that the 4 days felt vital particularly after 28 weeks ( I know that now they are viable after 24 and sometimes earlier) every day made you feel that bit happier.
Mostly the midwives were fine about checking with the doppler when I couldn't feel my DS ( now 14!) Except for the Dr in the middle of the night after my Darling Grandpa died when I was about 26 weeks and got in a state and couldn't feel him moving.

However, i would say to anyone who is worried ring up the midwives at the hospital and getchecked, they don't mind. The reason i say this is my 1st baby stopped moving at 27 wks, went to the drs and he sent me away. I went to the hospital 2 days later and my son nearly died inside me. Not trying to scare anyone but its always worthgetting checked over andthey would rather you did than sit at home worrying.x

Just to say that, us midwives don't mind at all - whatever is bothering you, however trivial it may seem to you, discuss it with the professionals - it's 24/7 service.
