I just wanted to ask - if you contact the hospital/midwife about reduced movement, and then the scan and do doppler and everything looks fine, does that mean you can be totally reassured? For how long?

I felt that there had been reduced movement after starting on some medication for high blood pressure, everything looked fine but a few days later and it's hard to be sure, but I don't think the movement has totally picked up to what it was before, though I don't think it's less than it was when i went for the scan a few days ago. Growth looked fine (I had IUGR last time), and the sonographer also said the baby was making breathing movements which was a good sign and that blood flow was fine. Just wondered how long this means I can relax for!

Hi everyone

I've been guilty of lurking here all the way throughout my pregnancy and have appreciated so much all the fantastic advice and information all you ladies have provided. I've come out from lurking to add to this really important thread.

Our lovely DS was born by emcs a month premature 4 weeks ago and he's here because I went and got reduced movements checked out at the hospital. I was 35 +6 and also felt that I was bothering the midwifes about nothing, I'd read that babies stop moving about so much as you get near to the end etc but something didn't feel right. My DP made me go and get checked out and I am eternally grateful that we did, there were some major complications going on and they did a emcs there and then.

Please please if you feel anything isn't quite right, go and get checked out, don't put it off or see how you feel in the morning etc, if we'd waited like I wanted to I fear our story would be very different.
