Hi, I'm 40+2 and baby has been very quiet this morning. I was awake early hours from around 3-4 am and didn't feel anything I've been awake since about 7.30 now and have felt practically nothing.
I was led in bed for a good half hour, git up had breakfast and still nothing!

how soon should I start to worry and call the hospital?

Instincts not extinction stupid autocorrect.

Go in and get monitored. Better safe than sorry!

Phone now. They won't make you feel stupid and the sooner you get checked the better x

Always best to phone especially as you have passed 40 weeks x x

Definitely phone the maternity ward. Good luck & come back & tell us how you got on

You need to go in. In the meantime drink a large glass of icy cold water and see if that wakes the little one up.

TeamSouthfields · 15/10/2013 09:11

please go now.

curlew · 15/10/2013 09:13

Trust your instincts. Got to the hospital and phone. Always better to be safe especially as your over 40 weeks.

My dd went over by 6 days and on that 6th day she did'nt move at all. I was in for sweep anyway that day so i told midwife who gave me sweep and told me not to worry. Didnt listen to hb or monitor. In hindsight i wish id pushed for more but was first dc and i trusted the staff.
Shortly after sweep i was in full blown labour and luckily had my dd , i say luckily as the cord was round her neck 4 times. It had slowly been strangling her and restricting her movements. She was blue when delivered but started breathing thank god and is now my healthy, intelligent 7 year old.
Im not trying to scare you and my experience probably isnt that common, but follow your instincts and go to the epau xx

well I'm home now. was on the monitor for a good hour or so and typically as soon as the midwife put the straps on baby came alive!!

But doubly gkad I went as my blood pressure is high and they want to keep qn eye on ut si had to have bloods taken and got to go back tomorrow if no better then they want to think about induction.

Could also see some tightenings on the monitor so think labour is on it's way. I had the same issues with dc1 so im hoping baby coming this time!

Thank you for your advice I will update tomorrow/later if any progress Thanks
