To phone the maternity department because of a feeling?

[AnotherRubberDuck]

I'm 41 weeks and have had a feeling like something is wrong all afternoon. Nothing to back this up, it's just a feeling. Sort of like dread but I don't know why.

I can't tell if I'm just fed up of being pregnant or something is wrong. I'm still getting movements (maybe less than usual, I don't know, it's never been in a reliable pattern, but then am I just making up reasons to try and explain this feeling?!) Anyway, I tried the fizzy drink and lay down trick and felt the baby moving.

So AIBU to want to phone the maternity department because I just feel odd? Is there anything they'd even be able to do?!

Please ring them. Trust your instincts.

Ring them. You're 41 weeks. Let us know how you get on.

Did you ring?

Thanks all. I will definitely ring, just waiting for DH to get home.

Ring now. Don’t wait for DH.

Yes, ring now - intuition should never be ignored.

Your maternal instinct is trying to tell you something. Please do not ignore it.
Ring them now.

Ring them, they’ll advise you what to do. Plus you’ll tempt fate and hopefully go into spontaneous labour as soon as you put the phone down.....

Definitely phone them. If something is wrong and you don’t make that call, you’ll never forgive yourself.

Yes ring them. At 41 weeks I would have hoped it may just be you feeling a bit 'off' because you are about to go into labour, but far better to be checked out.

Bless you. Ring and go 🤞

Ring ring ring!

I had a 'feeling' at 33+6 and I came home a month later with a tiny baby. I'm sure everything is fine! But always follow your gut!

Why wait for dh to get home? Ring now and then you can be ready to go if needs be when he gets back.

Please do asap

Please phone now, OP

Ring. Please. This is your baby and making sure they are safe is more important than a stranger being bothered you rang. Once checked and all is okay one could argue you didn't need checking but that's easy to say afterwards.

I nearly lost my baby because a midwife was being a bitch that day when I went in for no movements.

That's what they are there for, don't hesitate

Ring them or go in. Instincts are right.

As in we should listen to them

I would phone them with a view to heading down as soon as you can.

Do you need to wait for dh to get home - couldn't he meet you there?

Call them. Mothers' instinct starts before the child is born.

Please don't wait - ring them now.

Hope you get on ok op 🤞

Yes defo ring, OP. Mothers instinct is so important!

ring them, it wont do any harm at all. let us know how you get on x
