Hi Lou, Its only natural to worry and you know I am the worst worrier also. The thing is Lou we do sometimes feel the babies move more days then others. The thing is the babies could be lying different to how they have been lying in the past. I would see how it goes tomorrow and if you still haven't felt them I would contact your midwife. The thing is its best to have it checked out but I think they are probably lying in a position that you can't feel them. Also when I cough I get a pain in my ribs but I wonder if that is from all the stretching. When I had that cold I had it then and I just thought I had pulled my muscles but then the cough went but if I do cough then I do get the pain. If you don't feel them move by lunch tomorrow I would get it checked so you don't have to spend your weekend worrying. Love Shell. 30wks pg xx

call the doctor and then go see them ,i know that some times you dont feel the baby .. do you know anybody that has a doppler so you can reasure yourself with hearing the heartbeat that everything is ok.

Hi Louise If I were you, I'd go down to the maternity unit to get checked out. They can scan you and reassure you and it'll make you feel much better. I had days where I didn't feel my two move (I very rarely felt my son move at all because of the position he was in) but I used to be able to give my little girl a push and get her to move eventually if I got worried. Take care. Jules

Morning Lou, Have you felt the babies move yet, I know you said you would text me if you did but I just wanted to see if you felt them move after we spoke on MSN last night. Love Shell 30wks 1d pg xx
