Hi,

Im pretty much seeking as much advice as I can get! I have had around 6 episodes of reduced movements (currently having one now!) I've been admitted as inpatient 3 times....as you can imagine I've had plenty of ctgs and scans done (last scan was on December 30th & next scan is jan 27th)

everything is looking fine with baby... I'll be 36 weeks on Wednesday . Baby is only giving the occasional kick and even then it's nowhere near as strong as it was a week ago and whenever I eat in the morning baby loves a good party after.... but recently he just hasn't...On Friday afternoon I had been on the ctg for an hour and no movement felt from baby so the midwife got me an ice cold water and i still felt no movement from him....

It's definitely taking its toll on me I feel so drained... I can't sleep properly as I'm constantly worrying about my baby. I genuinely feel unwell in myself I have constant headaches which I believe is due to stress and clearly lack of sleep!

I feel really hopeless so any advice is really appreciated.

Thanks so much :)

Hi OP, sorry to hear about your reduced movements. If I was in your situation I would ask to be induced as early as possible (whatever is safe to do so). Its clearly having an impact on your wellbeing and this will not be good for you or baby. I hope it all works out for you and congratulations on your pregnancy!

Thankyou! I've been here since Friday😩...they're trying to chase up an earlier scan for me and then there is also talk of an induction (Thankfully!!!)
