NO MOVEMENTS

[jessicaandbumpsmummy]

HELP!

No movements since lunchtime yesterday, have phoned midwife and left message.

There is an ante-natal clinic this afternoon, do i go if no call from mw?!

Really quite scared..... btw, 25+5 weeks

Jabm - have a big drink of orange squash, then lie down for half an hour on your left side - this sometimes gets them moving - combination of a bit of sugar, and more blood getting to them.

Hope you get some really good hard kicks soon!

Awww - how scary for you. I went through this last week (28 weeks) - ended up speaking to the labour ward (was 6 in the morning - too worried to wait!), who admitted me for monitoring - after a few agonising seconds (felt like hours!) they found a heartbeat. then the little b*gger started kicking away again.

i was very tired and stressed, and it does seem to me that bambino goes quiet when i'm low on energy.

good luck with the m/w - hopefully they'll be able to come and see you.

And remember that at 25 weeks, the baby is still quite little, so it's proabably just got itself curled up nicely and is enjoying a nice sleep, unaware that his/her mummy is worrying herself sick!!

MW just called. Will be here in half hour..... jeez..... im scared.

Im sure everything is fine xxxxx

You really need to relax. Easier said than done I know.

Good luck, I'm sure all will be just fine. Let us know how you get on {{{{{hugs}}}}}

Best of luck, it'll be fine i'm sure.

And, yes try and relax as much as you can.

Oh JAABM, please do go. I am sure everything is fine but just to be on the safe side. Best of luck.

Oh she's coming to you, sooner. Much better.

Hope your ok JM xx

im not ok at the moment.... cant stop crying! Just broke down on the phone to dh

Really hope everything's OK - I had the same experience yesterday, baby hadn't kicked for about 12 hours (I'm 29 weeks), went in for a scan and everything was absolutely fine, she was just in a position where I couldn't feel the kicking. I completely understand how dreadful you must be feeling, I was shaking sitting in the waiting room for the scan, but please don't assume the worst.

Sending you hugs and positve vibes and loads of love {{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}} and +++++++++++++++ and xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

She should be with you really soon

sweetie, she'll be with you soon, hang on in there, xxxxx

while your waiting for mw maybe give your bump a massage - nice round clockwise circles just to soothe you and baby.
big hugsxxxx

Oh honey i know it's hard. I remember how anxious i was, if dd hadn't moved for 5 hours i had to lay down and tickle my tummy to make her move.

It's scary but i'm sure everything will be okay. The midwife will be with you soon.

When ever I overdid it DS protested by sleeping lots the next day, the first time he did it I went straight over to the delivery ward via my doc and everything was fine.

But became very aware after it, that if I was tired then he was going to be tired.

Hoping and praying for you.

jm - get DH to come home firstly, secondly try not to panic too much you don't know what the m/w will say. I'm sure everything will be fine.

let us know how u go, i'm assuming she's there now.

I'm sure everything will be fine.
Don't worry, take some deep breaths and try to relax.

Like shrub says give your bump a massage.

Still thinking ofyou.

positive vibes to you x

Hope the midwife has arrived. Fingers crossed all is well. xxx

Mw has been and gone.... baby's heartbeat heard so feeling relieved.

MW was really nice and said if im concerned AT ALL again before i see my own mw on sunday, to give them a call.

Thanks for the support girls..... god i needed it! Just phoned dh and told him and got the usual "told you so" - men!!!
