Aw Lou i really have no words!

But please PLEASE do not blame yourself for not calling sooner etc.

I agree though that considering you have ivf, plus bleeds etc they really should
Of been offering you extra scans.
I hate that you have to wait 4 months for answers and i hate that you both are having to go theough this. No mother should

Im deeply sorry xxxxxxx

Lou I just don't know what to say. I'm sure you are replaying the day over and over, but never blame yourself for not calling earlier. I agree that you should have had more care due to how high risk your pregnancy was in the beginning. Thinking of you.

Also the fact that my little one is measuring small wasn't picked up my midwife or fundal height measurements, which have always been above the bottom line. It was only because I had a 4d scan and he was measuring small then, that I had to push for a growth scan of which several consultants didn't think was necessary. But the fact he is measuring small coupled with my recurrent reduced movements has got me on edge.

Copterpops, how many times have you been in with reduced movements? Seems crazy they would be so quick to jump to induction without other problems or investigations done unless you've been in lots. Today will be my 5th trip! xx

 

[Copterpops]

That was just the second time. The first time I was just over 28 weeks. And I'm 38 +5 weeks now. I thought it was a bit odd too.

 

[kanga86]

I'm kinda hoping they listen to me today as I just feel something isn't right. My 1st trip was at 29wks, then 34+5, 35+3, 36+5 and now 37+2 so pretty frequent. Plus I've had days in between where I haven't gone in. Not had any mention of induction but maybe it's because I wasn't classed as full term yet xx

 

[babyslog]

I had RM 7 times with Noah which resulted to 2 scans at 32 & 36 wks. Induction wasn't mentioned before or after scans. (He was all fine on scans anyway so glad they didn't try to push).. Yet at the same hospital my friend only went there on 2 occasions for RM and was induced without even scanning!
Although the 2nd occasion she was 2 days overdue so they may just thought sod it induce.. But still, consodering kts same hosp, drs/consultants etc ud think they would have a set rule in place!


I dk hate how mws and drs about anything not even just pregnancy do things in different ways!

 

[kanga86]

That is crazy babyslog. I'm still waiting for hubby to get sorted out but have had another bout of movements, so feeling OK at the mo. Still think I will go in just to be on the safe side, hopefully I can phone with the next hour or so xx

 

[Copterpops]

I think it may have had something to do with being classed as full term now to be honest. I'm just not sure I like the idea that potentially if I was a bit crazy I could 'pretend' to have reduced movements over the weekend just to get an induction date.

I'm not saying you have to be crazy to be induced, but I'm sure there are some people who would take advantage of that sort of info.

 

[kanga86]

Giving out that info could lead to so many ladies faking reduced movements to get inductions so that don't have to be pregnant anymore.

Hubby is pissing me off, says he has to go his parents house with my car to look at it due to the fault it has. So I said what about me going to the hospital, he said well I can fix your car or not! I don't a f about my car when I'm worried about baby!! Grrr rant over! xx

 

[babyslog]

MEN!!!!!!!!!!! Knobs

Sorry H4L is ur reading PAHAHAA

 

[kanga86]

Hahaha Dani, i agree! Sorry H4L

Just got to the hospital so hubby did come straight home! He thought better than arguing with a pregnant lady. Nice and quiet here too so hopefully get seen quickly xx

 

[babyslog]

Aw hope so hun! Nothing worse waiting for hrs for a quick 20/30min monitor! X

 

[Emmam1982]

Absolutely nothing happening here so I'm relaxing enjoying what should be my last Saturday at home with no baby.
Made plans to go out tomorrow, the beach was suggested but I don't fancy been a 45 minute drive from home just in case, so we're going to the foreshore for a bit-seems stupid to waste the good weather although I'd much rather be pushing my pram lol x

 

[babyslog]

Awww Em!!!!!! So it wasnt contractions again!!!!
What is what cheeky Logan doing in there!! X

 

[Jojo84]

It's great you are all being more aware, I would hate for anyone to go through what we are currently going through, I am really struggling well we both are, leaving Harrison at the hospital was heart breaking still cannot comprehend it, so angry it has happened to us after all we have been through. I am angry we were not high risk after all the struggles and bleeding. If we had been then a scan may have picked up that Harrison was small, we don't know for sure and have to wait 4 months for results. I can't imagine TTC again even though I feel so desperate to be a mum, the birth and meeting Harrison gave me an insight into how amazing it is to become a mum and I feel desperate to be going through that now.

Anyway I just wanted to say don't be fobbed off but with our baby he was moving overnight then I had a busy day but I always feel something at some point during the day but this day he was very quiet but I had my appt that evening after work so I could not have gone their much quicker but now I think maybe I should have gone earlier but then u wait to see if baby or when baby next moves, I go over and over that day and tie myself in knots.

Listen to your instincts and go with that and any good midwife should listen and do something straight away.

Enjoy ladies wishing you an amazing mummy experience I will probably come off here for a bit, feel lost at the moment but I imagine this site might become to painful, I just don't know what to do with my time!

Lou xx

Hun I am really so sosorry to see what you are going through, I can't even imagine how you must feel. When I read your post I cried and cried / life feels so unfair sometimes and I love my kids to bits but feel how is it even fair that some of us get healthy babies and some others don't. I feel so guilty in s way and I'm so so sorry,

 

[kanga86]

I haven't long got out of hospital! Trace was OK but his heart rate isn't very responsive and he still hasn't moved much. Doctor did talk about inducing today but they decided to try a sweep (it failed) and repeat ctg tomorrow and then see how the scan goes. But induction likely for Tuesday. xx

Thank you so much Lou for posting and sharing your story with us, I know it can't be easy for you to do but it's so important for us all to be aware of movements. You seem to be coping so incredibly well given what you're going through, take all the time you need to get through it with your family. Sending you lots of love and healing wishes. Xxxxxx

We've been out for a walk this afternoon, took Oscar for a run around the local park which he loved. The sun came out just as we got there so I now resemble a lobster lol. I've been getting some tightenings and back ache on and off all afternoon. Nothing too regular (15-30ish mins apart) or painful, just uncomfortable, but OH is convinced this is the start of something. Judging by all the false starts the rest of you ladies have had, I'm not getting excited until I'm in real pain lol. Xxx
