Advice needed please: I have anterior placenta so the movements have always felt a little sporadic: I have days where I feel, and can see, movements for most of the day. On other days, I really have to focus in order to feel anything and will have to drink a cold drink and lie down to feel these.
I haven't felt concerned by this as there is now almost a pattern in their irregularity but when I saw the midwife last week she really told me off about this and said that if I notice any reduction in movements I should be calling the hospital.
On Saturday I had a day of reduced movements so called the hospital who asked me to go in: 3 hours later (!!!) they hooked me up to a monitor where we could hear the baby's heartbeat and could see that the baby was moving continuously (I just couldn't feel it). The midwife said it is actually an extremely active baby!
So where to go from here? I'm concerned that I will be at the hospital at least 3 times a week if I go in every time there is a reduction in movements; but equally I feel like a fool to disregard medical advice.
