30 + 5 - movements

[AlviesMam]

Anterior placenta and this is the second week in a row I'm monitored for reduced movement, I get into a pattern then all of a sudden I have a day where she's quiet and I freak out. I have 9 weeks to go and feel at this rate I'm going to be ringing in every week, my anxiety is through the roof, I can't seem to be happy if I don't feel her I burst into tears, it spoils my day and I'm moody with everyone around me, as soon as I feel her my mood changes and I'm happy again.
I freak out going into assessment when they put the Doppler on and thinking about it makes me not want to go in but ofcourse I do.
Anyone been monitored lots during their pregnancy?? I feel so upset

I had reduced movements at 27 weeks and then again around 32 weeks, so I was sent for CTG checks, scans the lot. Really reassuring that they took such good care of me and just knowing baby was ok even though he barely moved for two weeks helped put my mind at rest.
You go to the hospital as much as you feel is necessary. You are never a bother or a burden and even though you dread the thought, at least you go home knowing your little bundle is ok.
I lie in bed in the morning and just wait until I feel baby move and then I'm happy and get out of bed!

I had 6 episode's with DD2, I was induced after the last one as by then I was overdue. I was never made to feel silly or like I was wasting anyone's time. Go in as often as needed, baby being ok is all that matters.

I can definitely relate to being grumpy and short with people until I feel baby! I went in yesterday for movements as I hadn’t felt him move much all morning, it happened that my pil’s were over in the garden and I felt so guilty for being snappy with them but all I wanted to do was go and lie down to see if I could feel baby! The midwives are always very kind and reassure you that you’ve done the right thing by being monitored. I tend to ruminate terribly so I always think would I ever forgive myself if I thought something might be wrong and didn’t get it checked x
