I woke up at 4am yesterday morning as I couldnt feel LO move. Couldnt go back to sleep and eventually got out of bed. Had a cold drink...nothing...had some chocloate...nothing.
I pushed it to the back of my mind and thought that maybe as the day progressed he would start to wriggle. I felt him now and then but not half as much as usual. This went on ALL day, so eventually at 11.30pm I rang the delivery suite at the hospital as I got myself into a right panic.

They advised that I go down to the hosptal for monitoring so we hopped in the car and got there within 15 mins. NO TRAFFIC IS GREAT :)

They popped me straight onto the monitor, but the midwife couldnt find the heartbeat - PANIC PANIC PANIC. I was sobbing and then eventually she found it and strapped me in so tight I almost couldnt breathe.

LO is fine, he was just being a lazy bum. Was monitored for 30 mins and the trace was perfect - showed regular movements and his heartbeat was constant, so no problems there.
She said I did the right thing by ringing in and coming down as she said there was a lady earlier on who came in with reduced movement and her trace was so bad they rushed her to theatre immediately :shock:

I felt a bit silly, but thought rather be safe than sorry. I feel a bit better now that I know everything is fine but have been concentrating on feeling his movements all day today - its doing my head in. I have felt him so everything is fine...but you cant help but panic can you?

Gee, this turned out to be quite a long post :oops: :oops:
