Going to Have to Call MW won't I

[Minus273]

Just had a big argument with DH who is stil away. Not felt baby move much today. DH is saying I shouldn't want to go into labour yet which obviously I din't but I'm terrified something's wrong.

I've been trying to relax and monitor for movement but interuptions from my mum and dd havn't helped. No kicks btw. DH thinks the count the kicks thing is just a way to spread panic hence me shouting at him over the phone. I know anxiety won't help but feel really anxious.

You don't say how far into your pregnancy you are??... As often movement slows down in last few weeks as baby has no room to kick etc.. but Count the kicks campaign is very important!! It is your body & if you are at all worried go in & be monitored. Or you will not relax this evening & thats not good for you.

P.S dh should really be more supportive!!

Even if you dont have kicks you should have movement. Give her a ring for some preace of mind if nothing else.

peace*

Yes, of course you should call the midwife if you are terrified. Then have a lie down infront of the telly and try to relax, ignore DH - he doesn't sound very sympathetic at the mo! Can you talk to your mum and tell her your worries and that you need some peace & quiet?

How many weeks are you?

I'm 36+4. My mum just tutted when I mentioned it :(

Call the midwife.

Yep at 36+4 definitely give her a call.

call the midwife NOW. Ignore your family.

Have a very cold drink and something very sweet.

Lie down and wait, while waiting call the midwife.

Agree with cupoftea - please ring midwife or hospital asap. Try having a cold drink too, that can often make baby move. Take care and tell your mum and DH to sod off, they do NOT know what they're talking about!

I've just told my mum will serve DDs dinner, timer about to go then call. Better than setting fire to kitchen.

You should definitely call. There was a thread yesterday (?-maybe Sunday) in Chat about the importance of Count the Kicks (by a poster called RandomNess) and the lack of awareness and it really, really is imperative you get checked out. Tonight.

Please xx

Call her. Now.

Call the midwife. You are worried, and it's far, far better to be safe rather than sorry.

Don't even call the midwife, just present at your maternity hospital to get on the monitor. Hope all is ok x

Off to matunit.

Good luck

Hope everythings good!

Let us know how it goes Minus, you're doing the right thing.

So glad you called MW - hope all is well.

Hope your ok
