What would u do? Movements post

[ruthieruthuk]

I'm 34 wks today, and I suffer from gestational diabetes and thyroid, for the last few weeks I've been conscious that baby has been getting a bit quieter, I've been in for monitoring a few times and all has been good, last time being Monday, they've also arranged for me a scan which is this Friday but today I'm feeling a bit anxious, I've felt him today just not up until now, he sometimes needs a prod to get him to move, question is should I be ringing n going for check up again or should I just chill out and stop worrying so much? No past history of still birth or anything just think I'm a born worrier, lol! Thanks

I owuld do all the things that you are suposed to do to get them moving and if nothing then ring up.

I would say go in and get checked out, I've been in a couple of times for reduced movements and imagine I will again. I find it very reassuring and the staff are reassuring too, they have told me to always come in if I'm worried, no matter how many times, they would always much rather you went in... so much better to go and get things checked than sitting at home worrying. xx

Ring them

Ring them

Ring them

I've had to go in with reduced movements a number of times. My midwives have always been empathic that I should get checked EVERY time and NEVER leave it until the next day. They'd rather see someone 100 times and everything be fine, than miss the one time something was wrong.

Trust your gut and contact them. Everything is likely fine but please do get checked.

I was out with a friend last night for a girlie evening, mocktails, etc.. and so had a lazy morning in bed, I didn't have any movement this morning but have felt some this aft.. I will see how I go on the next few hours n give them a call if I still feel u know..

Get checked. Don't hesitate.

Good luck.

Go in. Go IN. GO IN. please. My 3, All born safely and in time as I reported reduced movements.

Ring them now, they wont mind at all. If there's a general reduction in movement they need to know.

Definitely go, they will not mind at all. As Lemon said, better 100 times & everything be fine.

Bonzo. I'm glad your three were all born safely & on time. Reporting movements doesn't guarantee they will be born safely and your post implies that others mothers failed their children & caused them not to be born safely & on time. I hope you didn't mean it like that & next time can phrase it less like a judgement of others. Women who have had stillborn babies don't need that added kick, most of them feel guilty enough or are made to feel guilty by their partners or family without any help from outsiders.

Always ring up

How you getting on OP?

Hi I've had lots of movement since posting, little bean maybe sensed my anxiety and has been going crazy so I'm not worried at the moment however if things become quiet again I will phone straight away. Thanks for your comments xxx

Ah, mines done that to me a few times! Think they want to turn our hair white before they even arrive Glad you're feeling happier with the movements now.
