Reduced movements

hey, I went to the midwife today and she referred me to the hospital due to reduced movements, iv had this before and everything was fine, but when I went today and was on a monitor which recorded his heart beat and movements they didn't really say anything to me. The little one moved three times in the space of an hour, and when I was getting ready to leave they told me they need me to go back on Saturday and again on Tuesday?, anyone got any idea why?, I can't seem to get my head around why they would want me to go back, I'm 34 weeks and 5 days if that helps? :) thanks in advance

Reduced movements yes but they are still supposed to have so many in a hour. I would call and ask

Reduced movements are not normal. Not even before labour.  The type of movements may change,  not so much kicks but rolls and squires. I can tell you why they want to see you again,  just be glad they are keeping an eye.

Try to count minimum 8movemnts in one hour in the morning. And 8movemnts in one hour in the evening. That should be fine.
