  • See your midwife. The worry about it isn’t good for you or the baby at this stage and the midwife would rather you came in over nothing than didn’t come in if it is something.

  • Drink a cold drink and lay on ur left side abd if u still dont feel anymovement call the hospital and check

  • No this is a dangerous old wives take. Your baby should never stop moving call your doctor now or head to the er.

  • Movement does slow down before labour, but I’d still get this checked out. Better safe than sorry.

  • Eat something cold it’s said to make them move but if your still worried call you hospital or midwife

  • Look, I don’t really know how to tell you this, but…

    It’s dead.
