Reduced movements and being checked

[EllieJai44]

How often did you ladies go to get checked?? I'm about to go in for my 3rd time and I'm only 29 weeks, I have an anterior placenta which I think is playing a huge part! I'm so fed up of not feeling baby move, I've given him all day today and nothing so on my way to hospital....

I only went in once but had friends go in multiple times. Go in as many times as you need to. I’m sure all is fine and it’s your placenta, hope you’re back home in no time 🤞🏻

I had an anterior placenta with my first and got checked what felt like all the time. But it’s totally the right thing to do, you’ve made the right decision to go in. They’d rather see you every day than potentially miss something being wrong because you’re worried about bothering them. Good luck x

I had an anterior placenta with my first hardly felt a thing because I didnt know I should be feeling so much numbers two and three were much clearer and I was in for monitoring a lot

Thanks ladies, I'm just worried ill be seen as a pain to the midwives and doctors! With my first my placenta was posterior and I never had any of this till 36-37 weeks!

Don’t feel bad! Definitely go in. Hope everything is ok and you will be home again soon!

I ended up in on the monitor every other day as i had RFM Atleast once a week. So for the last month I was booked in the same time every other day. In the end they induce me at 37 weeks. All was fine thankfully.

After a very long night, I got a few little kicks but nothing like normal, was allowed home with instructions of if they don't pick up to go back today, so far its been a quiet morning

My baby is 3 weeks today - I had an anterior placenta and from 28 ish weeks I went in 4 times I think. I was always told I did the right thing. Baby is here now and all is well but I’m glad I went when I was worried.
