Reduced movements massively

[Emapot1]

I guess there's only one thing to do. I'll go in. Last night i felt her once at around 3 in the morning and nothing since. I've been super stressed and I have tried to calm down, sitting in the bath now and nothing. I'm thing to move her but she's not responding. I'm so worried there's something wrong!!!

Don't sit at home and stress.

Phone them now.

I'm sure everything's ok but go and get checked out.

Yes, just phone them and they'll more than likely tell you to come in. Don't stress xx

Ring triage now and get yourself checked out hun xx

 

[Emapot1]

Thanks I'll get out the bath. X

Make sure you eat something too. Got told by mw at day unit try and eat before going as baby needs food. Its so easy to forget when you worry. Good luck x

I have had a bath and can now feel her moving more. Maybe I'll have a few pints of water and some cereal and see how I get on? I'll at least give it 30 minutes.

Defiantly give triage a call but as Lucy says, I nearly went in one night as I couldn't feel movement, even after dinner. I lay in the sofa and hubby brought me a chocolate hobnob and that set baby off! x

Whenever I've rang they've told me to eat and drink something, go to the loo and lie down on my side for an hour in a quiet room and count the movements. If still not happy then they say to go in for monitoring. If you've got any doubts give them a ring xx

Ice lollys! Eat your body weight in ice lollys!!!! Ok maybe not you body weight but when this lil one decides to have a quiet day I eat an ice lolly and off she goes!

Give them a ring hun, it's always worth getting it checked. I went to the hospital last Sunday night due to reduced movements, and as soon as I got put on the monitor at 2am baby went crazy after hardly a peep from about 4.30pm It's been fine since then, but looking back it definitely was worth going, the thought of baby being that quiet again is horrible. The hospital won't mind! xx

So im going with my instincts, I had the bath had some cereal, had a pint of water and then I've since then felt her move more. I mean maybe I was not timing her normally? Perhaps I should start tracking her notmal timely movements so that I don't panic. Naturally I'm more nervous but as I'm writing this I'm sat down in ikea coffee lounge having a tea and she's having a good rummage so surely that's good movements? You can see the whole belly move. Anyway I'm mad for doing it but I needed three white frames for my sons room which is being decorated. X

Thank you all vey much for keeping me sane this morning. X

 

[Emapot1]

If I could meet you all, if make you all unlimited tea...just having this forum for advic is more than weight in gold! X

Aww glad movement has started again, she maybe had a longer sleep than normal lol! I was at the hospital with reduced movements last week and what I did before phoning was drank ice cold water, ate chocolate, had some fizzy juice (Fanta) and had my dinner. I was running the bath as I phoned them but they advised to come in. Baby had completely turned and was head up and back out but as happy as anything thankfully. It is very scary and I'm sure you are quite apprehensive atm. If you are worried again, I think the hospital would only be too glad to check you and baby. xx

Thanks tmum. I'm going to write my consultant a letter to tell her what I want to do about my birth, induction etc as its all documented and outlined and I think if she's got something to actually read in front of her, then she will no I don't want any risks hiccups or problems with the delivery. Basically like my midwife said, it's about the control factor and illuminating any stress and worry impacting on me and baby. Last night I was up quite a lot freaking out if I could feel her move or not and have developed the blackest eyes from worry and stress of not sleeping. Not a great look but also my 3 year old and I are clashing because I'm so stressed. Xx

Know* bad spelling

 

[Emapot1]

Oh god illuminating- eliminating loll

 

[Tmum]

LOL I think you'll be glad to get to your bed tonight lol! Days when you're not feeling so great can almost seem worse when oyu feel all your doing is shouting at the little man but hopefully tomorrow after a good nights sleep you'll be in better form to deal with him and everything else. Yes writing it down sounds like a great idea and then you'll feel a little more prepared. Have they told you a date for induction or anything? xx
