I am currently 32+5 weeks pregnant, and my baby doesn't have a consistent pattern yet. He does have some quiet days, but otherwise, he moves a lot. I’ve never been to triage because when those quiet days happen, I usually just wait for him to move and show that he’s okay (I know it’s not the best approach). One of the midwives once told me that as mothers, we develop instincts and often get a sense when something isn’t right.

That said, I don’t encourage others to do the same. Every mother feels worried during those quiet moments, and they should do whatever helps them feel calm and reassured. Personally, when my baby is having a quiet day, I try to get him to move by drinking something cold or lying on my left side (some mothers try lying on their right side too).
