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 😌

OP I keep checking back hoping to hear you've delivered. I hope everything is ok

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

Gosh I really hope so. Even if all is well this kind of stress isn't healthy for mother or baby.

Hoping you're getting the care you and your baby deserve now, OP!

God this thread is scary. I so hope you've got some help op

This is shocking! Hope you are being better looked after now op.

Hope you and baby are ok and you've made it to a decent hospital op.

Really really hope you have made it to another hospital. I had a silent placental abruption with my daughter - lack of movement was the only sign something was wrong. I went from being monitored to being in theatre within 2 hours.

It's one thing not to feel movements yourself, it's quite another for no movements to be seen on a trace or scan.

@DropZoneOne the tracings have been normal and shown movements, it’s just the scan that they didn’t see movement on.

Hope you and your baby are ok, op.

How are you doing op?

So sorry you're going through this they always mention how important it is to notify when movements decrease yet you are being brushed off only YOU know your body and YOUR baby, refuse to leave until they take you seriously or go to the next hospital closest to you. Hope everything is okay

Really really hope you and your baby are ok

Really hope all is ok, and you are snoozing with a new born.

AMU nearly killed me and my child. The midwife who was leading my "care" still works there. They're shit at spotting sepsis too. Hoping you're okay OP.

Really hope everything is ok OP

Hope you're doing ok op

Another hoping you're okay OP. I recently had a stillbirth due to reduced movements that I didn't take seriously myself :(
Your hospital sounds appalling, I'm sorry you've been treated this way.

@Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly I'm so very sorry for your loss.

OP I hope you and your baby are ok

glitter thank you, I only have myself to blame unfortunately. I hope OP has a much happier, boring, normal outcome :)

Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly I'm so very sorry for your loss. I do hope you stop blaming yourself, we're all guilty of thinking it'll be fine, assuring ourselves we're being over cautious, and listening to the constant drip drip drip of the doubting of our instincts from medical professionals.

Even the most fierce woman can struggle to stand up and say "I'm worried and I should be listened to" as we're told so often we're overreacting or making a fuss.

I'm so sorry you were so unlucky, but I honestly think you're blameless.

@Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly please don't blame yourself, medicine is not an exact science things such as the myth of "they run out of room at the end" perpetuates - have had so many "arguments" over that lie on this forum!

We don't have cord blood flow monitoring in this country unlike most of the rest of Europe, babies move around still due to the fluid it's so easy to think it's them doing that.

Hope all is well x

I have everything crossed for you OP. Shocking maternity unit.

@Ironytheoppositeofwrinkly Please don't blame yourself. I hope you're able to find peace.
