I'm 39 weeks, elective c-section booked for this week. I woke up at 2am (as I always do) to go toilet etc.
Usually after this, baby will wriggle around for half hour before I fall back asleep.
It's now 6am and I've stayed awake this whole time because it took me almost 2 hours to get a small wiggle.
I used my doppler and absolutely freaked out because it took much much longer than normal to find the heartbeat.
Now I'm lying awake panicking over movements and debating whether to go in for monitoring. This will be my 4th time going in (but not since 36 weeks) ...Do I just sound irrational? Baby may just be deep sleeping?
Will they try to bring my c-section forward if all looks well? I'd prefer to wait for actual planned date if possible but can't shake this worrying feeling.
