Reduced movements. Been for scan no feral movements felt or seen

[MissMoodyMoo]

Hi I'm 36w1 been out or hospital since Sunday after having sepsis! Reduced movements started on Tuesday but been in for monitoring and heart rate etc fine. Been for scan again could see heart beating but no movement seen or felt by sonographer. Babies heart beat keeps spiking and midwife saying that's her moving but I'm not feeling the movements. I feel like they are just fobbing me off. I feel like there is something wrong and no one is listening to me

Advice would be great please 😌

Please go to another hospital & get checked op. You'll drive yourself mad if you don't. I'm totally horrified at how you have been treated & hope you get seen by a hospital who have much more understanding. Like pp said, if your instincts are wrong the worst that's going to happen is you look fussy. Hope everything is ok

I also think you should just bring your notes and go to another hospital! How's the growth of baby and fluid levels been? Have they checked fluid on the scan as well as dopplers?

If you’re this concerned it makes no sense why you’re not going to alternative hospital. Take your partner or friend or mum with you. Would have gone sooner to be honest.

I had reduced movements all along the pregnancy because of anterior placenta. Had loads of scans and baby always seem happy and moving. I could never feel him.
When they were about to send me home I got a scan. They said baby wasn’t moving much and they were going to induce me (39w). Trust your gut and ask for second opinion as others are telling you

you are not having a breakdown.

Baby movement is UNMISTAKABLE.

I would urge you to go to the other hospital immediately. Don't question this: i'd be there in a flash.

Please. Please go.

I just want to add that even with a completely covering anterior placenta, I was never dismissed as you know your own and your baby’s own normal.

Another one for going to another hospital. You don’t have to be treated at your local one.

I hope you're on the way to Glasgow. Definitely sounds like the best thing to do by going to another hospital. You need reassurance and stress isn't going to make you feel any better. All the best! Please try to stay positive, as hard as that is for you right now. xX

How everything goes ok today OP

Hope everything is okay today OP - have been thinking of you x

Kick up the biggest fuss in your life. Stamp your feet and don't leave until you've held your baby in your arms.

I hope you’re in Glasgow having your baby. Thinking of you, and sorry you’ve had such bad care.

How are you doing today OP? Xx

Very surprised to read this. I had both my children and AMU and have always had nothing but praise for them. The care I received during my second pregnancy was brilliant and me and my son would have died if it hasn't been for the close eye they kept on me.

I can not believe you are being fobbed off like this I would be kicking up a massive fuss. I was always told by the staff there to trust my mother's instinct and gut feelings!

I really hope they are taking your concerns seriously or you are being seen elsewhere.

This is awful to read - you sound terrified.

I do hope that you've got somewhere today.

I totally remember those overwhelming feelings of anxiety in late pregnancy (different circumstances, but also very legit reason to be anxious). I finally found a consultant to take me seriously and agreed to induce early, but I still feel angry about how long and often I was brushed off or told to 'stop worrying'.

Best of luck, OP.

This thread is very distressing - I’m so sorry about the way you’re being treated, OP. I was kept in antenatally with DS as on his second episode of reduced movement, they told me the trace was fine but I couldn’t feel anything - they said that was wrong and wanted to keep a close eye on me. I was induced a few days later, just to be safe.

Please, please go to another hospital and consider making a formal complaint. I’d look into contacting every kind of authority that might be interested!

I hope you’re ok and feeling more movement today

It's very distressing how they are treating you. I second asking for a 2nd, 3rd and 4th opinion at different hospitals. I find it unbelievable that they still don't trust mothers instincts. It's horrifying.

Any updates? Hope you’re ok and baby too

Hope you’re doing ok OP. You’ve been on my mind today

Been checking for updates today too OP! Hope you are both doing okay and getting proper care x

I honestly don't think I've ever read anything as appalling in my whole life. In this day and age how are these midwives and consultants even practising when they are treating you like this!! I really hope all is ok OP and keep pushing. Mummies really do know their babies. This is awful x

I’m hoping lack of updates means OP has had a CS and is busy

I really hope your right ValleyoftheHorses. I really hope they've listened to you OP.

Another one thinking of you and hoping for a happy ending to this tale of medical negligence.
