I’m 37+4 weeks pregnant and for the past few days have had reduced movements. I’ve barely really felt him and his movements are different, nowhere near as strong. I’ve been into the labour ward twice, once being tonight. They monitored me and said baby sounded great but asked if I was still concerned and I said yes because even though I got a couple of kicks they still weren’t anything like normal. So they asked if I wanted to be admitted into the ward so they could monitor me overnight but I said no. I’m currently being treated for carrying MRSA and I also have gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension so I am high risk and tonight have swollen feet and hands which I’ve had for a while and protein and an infection in my urine. They said to come back if I’m still concerned or if I get any other preeclampsia symptoms such as a headache, which has now come on. But I feel stupid because I said no earlier so I don’t want to go back and waste their time. I only said no to being admitted because I’m worried about CV and of course hospital is the last place you want to be during this pandemic. What should I do?

I think you need to go back in. You know that's the right thing to do.

LindaFromMCC · 04/04/2020 21:19

Go back. They won't care, you need to do this for you and your baby.

Daftodil · 04/04/2020 21:25

Go back in.

videoisamurderer · 04/04/2020 21:36

Just call them back and say you are still feeling concerned and actually would like to come in.

100% go back in, they'd so much rather you did that than risk anything going wrong for you or baby. Just call them and let them know you've changed your mind. They won't mind. Best of luck, will be thinking of you Thanks

Go back

Lemondrop99 · 04/04/2020 21:45

You are NOT wasting anyones time. Tryst you’re gut and GO

Delbelleber · 04/04/2020 21:46

Go back in

Gibbus · 04/04/2020 21:49

100% go back in. The midwives will be glad you did, if only to put your mind at rest.

JeanieInABottle · 04/04/2020 21:50

Go back . Now. Lots of love, from a midwife who is very concerned that our ladies will stop coming in as they are worried about how busy we are or Catching Covid 19.

CandleFlames · 04/04/2020 21:58

I called them and it was a different midwife this time and they said they don’t want any unessacary admissions and to call back at 11 if I’m still worried, even though that’s not the advice I was given from the doctor :(

Just go

Smellbellina · 04/04/2020 22:04

Go back. It’s really not worth the risk OP

SelfIsolationMeansMorePeppa · 04/04/2020 22:07

I would also just go. Always trust your gut. Hopefully everything is fine, and itll put your mind at rest.

dontdillydallytoolong · 04/04/2020 22:09

They would much rather you go back now, than in an emergency situation later. Good luck.

squee123 · 04/04/2020 23:43

Just rock up and explain the doctor advised it, you went against the advice and now you've changed your mind. Better to make a nuisance of yourself than to risk something happening to baby. Baby could be safely delivered at this point if it were to get into trouble as you would be closely monitored in hospital

JeanieInABottle · 05/04/2020 12:34

Just wondering how you are this morning OP?x
