32 weeks worried about sluggish morning baby but plenty movements rest of day?

[Sheera1]

Hi all. Now I am sure the answer will be call triage/midwife and I think I will once up and showered, but that is twice in 3 days now I have been worried early morning about movements.

Now the baby probably always sleeps at this time and I haven't noticed as been up for a pee and back to bed. And I am aware that being an older mum and a high BMI I am starting to get really worried about stillbirth. Didn't even cross my mind in my first pregnancy 10 yes ago.

I am up for a wee and then aware the baby isn't moving. I lie on my side quietly and give the baby a shingle and try to feel movements and am finding that it is 50 mins before I finally get a nudge back. My baby is normally very active throughout the day and once I am up and can feel plenty kicks I feel fine about it, but then again this morning, I was panicking.

Am I just being over sensitive?

Totally. I was not impressed. Called daycare again there just to chat through other scan results as it went out of my head with the c section nonsense but amniotic fluid is normal so def not losing any which is reassuring. X

Yes will def keep and eye on this baba and will make a pest of myself if I have any issues. I wasn't massively pleased with them today. Was meant to see consultant and instead got a registrar who didn't open my file, knew nothing about by birthing history and tried to talk me out of a planned section that was agreed at 12 weeks! Couldn't believe her!

I'm midwife led and have seen the same one every week for the last five appointments. Last appointment she:
-said, 'Oh, you were with a consultant at 38 weeks weren't you?' (No, I've never been under a consultant. And I wasn't 38 weeks last time).

• Thought I was currently 40 weeks pregnant (was 38)
• Demanded I tell her which test she'd ordered last time I'd been in with her in manner that suggested she thought I was being deliberately unhelpful (HTH do I know what test she ordered? I can't see the screen from where I sit!)
• Mentioned that she'd noticed I'd been diagnosed with GBS earlier in the pregnancy (clearly indicating that this was the first time in four appointments she'd actually bothered to read my bloody notes beforehand), wanted to run some (unnecessary, according to NHS guidelines) further tests and tried to imply that my baby would die if I didn't agree, saying she had to mention it in case that somehow came back on her in the event of baby death (nice to know where your priorities lie, love).

Honestly, some of them are just rubbish.

@fourplasticrings OMG that is horrendous. It really makes you think and worry doesn't it?

I am on clexane injections for VTE (blood clot risk). The woman yesterday said make sure you keep taking them the whole way through and after the surgery.

I then said "I am pretty sure I need to stop them prior to surgery?" (Rosk of not being able to stop any bleeding due to it being a blood thinner). And she said "oh don't you worry about that, we will keep you right".

Oh really? Not filling me with confidence. Seeing as you said you were not doing pre-OP consultations due to covid, so who the hell was going to tell me in advance of the day? 🙈🤔
