So a week ago today I went up to hospital with significantly reduced movements. Hadn't had much since around the Tuesday and when I got there baby HR was below 110 and took a long time to meet criteria.
They booked me in for ctg Friday and a scan Monday.
Ctg Friday was fine but scan Monday showed low fluid around baby. 4 weeks ago there was 8cm, 2 weeks ago there was 3cm and then at this scan just over 2cm.
I've been given daily monitoring until a growth and liquor scan tomorrow. I'm 35 weeks (and a bit) every day the ctg takes over 45 mins to meet criteria. I have felt zero movements since I had a bath last night and that was a small bum shuffle. I went in today and baby's HR was exactly 130 almost the whole time I was there. As in the line was flat. I didn't feel baby move once. On 3 occasions it dropped to around 110 for like less than a minute and then back to 130. On 2 occasions is moved up to 137/140 and they counted that as me having 5 movements. This was over a period of 60 minutes today.
I was then taken off the monitor and told they can't do anything until tomorrow's scan when they cab check fluid level and growth and then make a plan.
I just feel really really concerned that they classed those slight deviations as movements. Usually when my trace is good she visibly moves and HR goes up to over 150/160 for minutes rather than to 140 for 5 seconds.
Also I went to work yesterday (been off sick and working remotely) and so many people asked me how old is baby as they thought I'd had it based on the size of my bump! So clearly not changing shape over the last 3 weeks either.
I just can't decide if I'm worrying unnecessarily or if I'd be right to try and push for induction ASAP at tomorrow's consultant appointment given that every time I go in I expect no heart beat as I've had no movements. Honestly nothing!
Midwife was like you have a sleepy baby you'll be happy if she sleeps well on the outside too. Like really laid back about it.

I cant lie, I'd be worried out of my mind as well if I we're you but there's not much more you can do for now I guess you'll just need to wait for the scan.It could all nothing to be honest. I hope it all goes well for you x

I'd fight for it if I were you. The worry and stress isn't good for you and you know your body and your baby and what feels right or worrying.

I hope you get this sorted and they listen to you. Please keep us updated xx
