I'm booked in for a cesarean On Thursday as my baby is breech but today I've had very little movement and I just went to the toilet and there was blood when I wiped. Ive felt super ill all day, I feel very dizzy and have the shakes. Does anyone know what's going on?!

I don't know whether to just go straight to hospital but I have no way of getting there now as everyone's been drinking or are away

Any change in movement should be reported to your midwifery team asap. I'd give the hospital a call if I were you,there'll probably get you in for monitoring and either reassure your take the necessary action.

Haggisfish · 21/10/2016 23:02

Go in ASAP.

Haggisfish · 21/10/2016 23:02

By taxi, with a bag and notes, just in case.

Amalfimamma · 21/10/2016 23:03

I'd go in straight away op

Twodogsandahooch · 21/10/2016 23:04

I agree you need to be seen tonight

Neverknowing · 21/10/2016 23:04

Has anyone had a similar situation?? Will I have to have an emergency cesarean? I'm really scared

OP posts:

Mumteedum · 21/10/2016 23:05

Go, please.

ColdTeaAgain · 21/10/2016 23:05

Light bleeding (as in a trace of blood on wiping) is quite normal when full term.

The lack of movements however needs checking. Don't leave it, call a taxi.

Amalfimamma · 21/10/2016 23:07

Never

Don't be scared, it could be nothing but please do go in ASAP and get it checked out. I've had 2 EMCS and they are not that bad seeing as you've an ELCS booked anyways! Go, keep us updated and we are here for a hand hold

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 21/10/2016 23:07

Dizziness and shakes can be a sign of PE. Get yourself checked asap.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 21/10/2016 23:07

Actually if you feel ill and are shakey it could be an ambulance job.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 21/10/2016 23:08

And definitely get reduced movement checked out.

Wolfiefan · 21/10/2016 23:08

Get checked out. It could be nothing. But always better to be checked.

passthewineplz · 21/10/2016 23:09

Please go to hospital. They will monitor both you and your baby, and take things from there.

While you're waiting for a taxi ring the hospital to let them know you're coming, and if you have no transport as them if they can sort you some transport.

Christobel51 · 21/10/2016 23:09

Sounds like you could be in early labour! The symptoms you describe are all possible in early labour. Try not to worry too much, but I would call your local hospital/ midwife centre and speak to them and then if there is no none to take you, I would get a taxi and take your notes and hospital bag with you. Good luck. X

Okay, thank you everyone. I'm going to ring triage and go in.

OP posts:

Ditsy4 · 21/10/2016 23:13

I agree get it checked out. The reduced movement alone can be a sign but the shakes etc if you ring and say no transport they might send an ambulance for you if you can't get a taxi but do go. Don't leave until morning as if it is pre eclampsia then things can can change rapidly. I had it or toxaemia with all four of my pregnancies.

Wolfiefan · 21/10/2016 23:16

Good luck.

Goldenvalley · 21/10/2016 23:18

Good luck OP. Glad you're going in.

Frazzled2207 · 21/10/2016 23:26

Good luck x

Go on, off to hospital with you right now.

Best of luck

You'll be in the right place.

Neverknowing · 22/10/2016 00:27

I have to wait till morning, they can't send an ambulance and there are no more taxis as I live in the middle of nowhere they would send an ambulance if they thought it was important though I hope.

OP posts:

passthewineplz · 22/10/2016 00:38

What are your instincts telling you? Do you think you're ok to wait until tomorrow?, or do you feel like you need to been seen now?

My advice is, If baby isn't moving about as much as they usually do, you really need to be seen tonight.

Having lived in the middle of no where myself, I understand about transport issues.

Do you have a neighbour, friend or relative who can take you to hospital?

If not, do you have any money to call for a taxi from the nearest town? Or is there an out of hours doctors facility you can call?
