Hi all
Yesterday I posted and asked about whether movemets quieter down before birth. Lots of ppl said go to midwife- as she was still moving I have her the benefit of the doubt and didn't call midwife during day. By evening she hadn't followed her usual waking pattern so called delivery suite- explained that she's still moving just differently.
They got me up there, put us on CTG, naturally she then decided to wake up!
CTG all fine but have to go back today for scan to make sure placenta and cord ok and a repeat CTG. Just thought I'd share how impressed I am with this level of onvestihation and reassurance from the NHS. Apparently it's a new policy for mums over 37 weeks- they like to be super cautious around this time as baby is getting so big they need to check they're not compressing the cord.
So just thought is share to make everyone aware of new best practice. Also midwife said babies do tend to slow down a bit before they're born but that every midwife is taught to ignore that so that they investigate and double check any change movement :-)
