Bump.

Was at MAU today after a lack of movements. They were lovely and DD was fine, just kicking towards my back. The relief was immense though and the MW said to always go in if at all worried for any reason.

That's good news Cbear6 x

Good news CBear6 - keep checking x x
We are doing ok generally now - the funeral wasnt quite as bad as expected, though didnt feel like an ending at all. Much love to all those who have helped me here and hugs to all in similar situation. xxxxxx

I have two children and considered myself reasonably well informed about pregnancy, but have read many things on this thread that I was ignorant about.

Thank you to the OP and those who have shared their expertise. My heart goes out to those of you who lost your babies. I can't begin to imagine.

Glad to hear you're OK Cbear! Had the same this morning - went in as I hadn't felt her move according to her pattern and drinking cold juice etc didn't produce any "reaction", they monitored me for 20 minutes and I actually apologized for being silly (of course, she kicked vigorously 5 mins into the trace ...) but they were lovely and said to come whenever I feel something is not right.

Bump.

My thoughts are with you, curlybug.
Glad things are becoming ok for you.

Thank you x

I've just bought my wristband. I'm 20 weeks with dc2, have only been feeling flutterings so far, but the placenta is at the front which I think cushions the movement a bit more (I didn't feel much before 24 weeks with ds).

Thanks to the OP for bringing the awareness campaign forward.

To Curlybug and the others who have lost their babies, I don't know what to say, as I can't imagine what you have gone through. I am so sorry though.

Very important. Please read.

(hope you are well curlybug)

Thought this could use a bump, wish MnHQ would sticky it to the top of the forum

(Yes; that would be a good idea cbear6)

Just a quick question girls... im 23 weeks, and have only felt movements the past 2 weeks due to my placenta being at the front, the past 2 days i dont remember feeling anything... should i ring the triage unit on my maternity ward, or is it still early in the pregnancy??

Yes. Phone them this morning.

Drink some ice cold water and gently poke your abdomen; note which movements occur.

Do not feel as if you are imposing. Do not be fobbed off.

Good luck with today.

Hi all,

and a huge that it has taken us sooooo long to post.

We are looking at all of our section headers and some will be updated over the coming months to include further info, links, advice etc. We have noted this thread and will have a look at all of the links and information posted when we update the pregnancy section header.

Thank you for a fantastic idea and for your patience, we will get back to you in September when the children go back to school everyone is back in the office.

Great, thanks.

(I have been hounding reminding HQ about this thread)
