Reduced foetal movement

Currently 41 + 2 and due to be induced next Tuesday. Have had three failed sweeps and haven't been feeling as much movement since then, but there really can't be much space left! Do you think it's worth going in today or tomorrow to bring induction forward?

My previous DCs were 40+3 and 41+3 so no stranger to being late but very wary of induction.

I had reduced movement at 40+3 and went in and they put me on a monitor etc they didn't give a reason to why movements were reduced but I gave birth 3 days later to a 10lb baby so maybe she just didn't have much space to move 😂 but it's always worth getting it checked out but if your drinking cold water then feeling movements I wouldn't worry personally xx

I'm glad you are going in.

All is fine with the movement but they're inducing me anyway.

Just the ending we were all hoping for. Huge congratulations and I’m so glad you went to hospital. Best wishes to both of you!

She was a large baby so they thought perhaps she was just running out of room (placenta was also huge!), but thank you all for your advice :)
