Hi everyone, hope you're all well. Grateful for any advice!
1st baby, been very active since 17 weeks kicking very vigorously and I know baby's patterns. Very active early evening through to midnight. Lovely to feel such obvious kicks so I know baby is alright.
Busy weekend, realised at 5pm yesterday no movement.
Drank ice cold water, ate sweet things, slammed doors, lay on side for two hours - followed all advice before I rang midwife as baby still not responding more than one little kick and we know you're meant to have ten within two hours after doing all these things. I still didn't want to waste their time but rang, and she said come in.
She advised that baby was fine - phew - and that even if I'm not tired if I've had a very busy day it can totally wipe out the baby and leave baby too tired to kick. Baby making up for it today luckily!
She was a little off the wall and was slightly annoying my husband and I, talking more about the women who had come to triage than just cracking on and giving me a scan, so we could find out all was well and leave and not stay longer than we had to!
Has anyone heard this before or share similar experiences so I don't get too relaxed about not feeling kicks, but that I don't end up going back every two minutes and wasting time?!?!
Thanks!
