This is long so apologies in advance

I'm 31 weeks and have had 6 episodes of reduced movements - the latest being tonight - but the CTG's all meet the criteria and are considered fine.

I have had some growth scans, one which showed baby to be on 3rd centile, and subsequent scans which aren't too bad.

I have also had doppler scans - one which was fine, and the second she struggled for 10 minutes to get a good reading. Eventually she made me hold my breath and was able to get an in range reading.

I have severely swollen hands, headaches, nausea, severe heart burn.. but my blood pressure is normal so not PE.

Anyone going through similar? Or know what this could be?

If you are worried phone your midwife. Severe swelling doesn't sound quite right.

Have you tried the old trick off ice cold orange juice to get baby to move?

I have literally just walked through my front door after CTG monitoring.

I have to go back tomorrow for another CTG, and have a Doppler scan on Monday.

Yes I've drank cold water etc
