Baby not moving, handhold please!

[Shallow07]

After having the morning from hell (electricity running out, nausea, broken burglar alarm blaring incessantly while standing outside in the rain) I realised this afternoon I've felt no movement since last night

I'm 30 weeks with DC1, a girl. Sitting in maternity triage at the moment on my own as DH at work an hour away. Had the same thing last week and it was all fine but can't seem to stop my thoughts going to the worst places

I went to hospital 3 times with no movement; all was well. Once DS kicked literally as they put the monitor on me.
Fingers crossed for you.

Try not to panic. You are in the right place.

What a rubbish morning for you.

I had that wait a few weeks ago so sympathise and am here for a hand hold.

It's really uncommon for a massive problem at this stage and most likely baby has just moved into a different position or is having a sleep. It doesn't make it easier though.

Here's a handhold from me

Handhold here. You're in the right place.

When I've ended up in maternity triage because I've not felt the baby moving, the little imp has started dancing around the moment the monitor has been put on.

Here's hoping it is the same for you.

I’m seconding everyone above op. At 30 weeks the baby can just be in a position where you’re not feeling the movements. It’s bloody terrifying though and I’m sorry you’re by yourself.

Great that you’ll be seen soon. Sending support

Hand hold from me, I've been up twice so far and everything has been fine but you're in exactly the right place.

Handhold here too.
I had lots of these moments too. Terrifying until you're reassured .

Sometimes when you're really busy, it's easy not to feel movement. With my DC1, I was in a mad decorating frenzy and ended up like you, having it checked out. It's not a good feeling but you're in the best place. 😘

Hand hold here. You are in the right place and doing all you can.

Handhold for you OP xx

Hasten to add, not felt movement for a few days but all was well.

Oh well done for going I hope you are reassured very soon

I had this with both DC. They're now 5 & 3. As PP have said, you often don't notice movements when you're rushed off your feet but you're in the best place to get checked over. I also had anterior (?) placenta with both which made their movements harder to feel as it acts like a cushion

Op, you've probably been so busy and so stressed out that you haven't felt the movements. You're doing the right thing to get it checked out though, I so hope everything is fine for you.

I am 37 weeks and have been in 4 times for reduced/no movements. Everyone would much rather you went in than not. Mine keeps changing position so I can't feel him.

A massive handhold and lots of positive thoughts your way

I'm sitting next to my nearly two year old who stopped moving maybe 3 times. The monitoring equipment normally seemed to wake her up. In the end she was induced because of it (after forty weeks so no worries). Even now she sometimes just has an extra long sleep when her body needs it.

Mine of mine had no heartbeat on a Doppler, consultant called in and baby was fine on the scan. It's such a worrying time

Hope everything is ok Lovely xx

Never happened with DD1 but was in triage for a scan three separate times with DD2 , better to be safe than sorry. Was fine all three times. Don't panic

Hand hold from here. Babies tend to move less as they get bigger, as there is less space. Try not to panic, you are where you should be.

Any news OP? 💐

I found that if I was rushing around that DD would be settled (or that if she make littles movements I wouldn't notice them).

She also had a little schedule of being very active for a day or two and then having a very quiet day (cue lots of worry!).

I expect you will be fine but you have done the right thing going to get checked out.
