Decreased fetal movement

Just took myself to the hospital because I hadn’t felt my baby move literally all day. OF COURSE within 5 minutes of hooking me up to the monitors, you can hear her moving around in there. I felt dumb for going in but I guess better safe than sorry 🤦🏼‍♀️

It’s better to be safe than sorry!! I did this FOUR times during my pregnancy because my daughter was so active I got scared the few times she decided to not be. Every time I got hooked up to the monitor she would start going crazy. The nurse said most babies start moving because they don’t like the monitors so I say go get checked! Don’t feel dumb! They rather you come get checked than ignore it!! Your being a good mommy 💜

It happens💗💗 never hesitate to go in, I’ve gone in for that a couple times, babies just like making us feel crazy I’m convinced 😂

I was like that two nights ago. I almost go to check in, and then I remember about flush light in my belly. I took my phone and turned flush light on within 3 minutes, He started to move.

Thanks ladies! Y’all make me feel less crazy. She’s soooo active usually so when I didn’t feel her today I started to panic. I just can’t wait for her to be here so I’m not constantly guessing and thinking *something* is happening 😩

I went in last Sunday for this and when she did eventually move she went crazy. I had been around 2
30 weeks too.

I’m 36 weeks now and I feel like it’s harder to feel her move recently cause she’s tucked in there and I guess sleeping a lot. But then I read online that they are still supposed to be moving a ton just the movements are different… so she basically just enjoys giving me panic attacks from time to time and I’ll keep getting it checked out when I can’t feel her.

I saw on the ultrasound last Wednesday that she’s facing my back and head down. Whenever she’s that arrangement I have more trouble feeling her too. Always better to be safe than sorry.

That happened to me on Thursday night. I went to go get checked out and she was moving on the monitor. Thankfully the nurses were very reassuring that she was okay and that I did the right thing.

I would’ve done the same, always trust your gut🙂

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏
