How many times is too many times to visit triage ?!

Always call. My midwife says always call and you can’t call too many times x

Always call! Omg I was back and forth all the time, they knew me by my first name over the phone as soon as I said hiya, I always had reduced movements and all was okay, but no bother going in for monitoring. They’ll always want to monitor instead of risking it! X

Never too many times! If you find yourself feeling worried always call 🤍 You are not being dramatic at all - you know your body and baby. Big hugs and I am sure everything is wonderful xxxx

Always call never second guess your self they might start talking about inductions with you as you’ve already been twice x

Never worth the risk to not call! I think if you go in a certain amount of times past a certain gestation they will want to reduce you but never risk not calling, better to be safe than sorry xx

Induce*

At 35 weeks I was up at triage on the Monday and Tuesday with reduced movements and went into labour on the Friday night so it’s probably worth getting checked xx

I went in so many times for reduced movement!! Please go in if you’re worried 🩵

Do you have an anterior placenta

Thank you all so much 🤍 my baby is also frank breech so I can’t be induced, hence why I always worry about reduced movement 🥺 xxx

I had an anterior placenta and his movements were always all over the place. ! I would recommend going in just for reassurance cause I always did! Have you tried something sweet or cold?

You can go every day and it still wouldn't be 'too much' 😊 go go!

iv just had a cold drink and I felt him move but no strong movements. Going to wait till after dinner and see if food gets him moving xx

Maybe invest in a dopler online so you can have peace of mind also at home but never ever feel like you can’t or your being a pain! Go as many times as you feel you need to it’s normal this is your baby and your best interest is to make sure baby is ok and healthy they get it don’t worry! Also if you mentioned how you feel to midwife she would tell you not to be silly and to always go in for reduced movements ! Even today I mentioned to my midwife my little ones movements have changed she wanted to send me in for get it looked at but I think he’s just running out of room in there (he’s on the bigger side) I’m 36 weeks but honestly go 10 times a week if you feel you have to ! X

There is no such thing! Ring every time x

When I went in they said they have women who come in every day as they don't feel them at all due to placenta placement x

Always call!!! From 33 weeks onwards I was there nearly every week! They were always so glad I came in x

Im 36+2 and I’ve been 6 times! Never too many times, go as much as you need to. Every time I’ve been in everything has been fine but midwives say it’s better to get checked, cause it eases your mind too! Last thing you want to do is be anxious and get yourself worked up. It’s their job to take care of you🤍

I was in there pretty much once a week if not twice since 30 weeks all the way up until 39 weeks when they offered to induce me! Every single time they reassured me that they’d rather see you 1000 times and know your baby is okay than for you to be worried at home and something potentially be wrong because you feel like you’re being dramatic. Just go in if you’re not sure. It’s for the best xxx

Go to them, I always felt that I’d rather bother them than risk any harm to my little treasure xxxx they are always lovely too xxx

I had an anterior placenta with my last child (now 16 weeks).
I kept having to go in for reduced movements and they kept telling me they would rather see me 100 times and tell me everything fine than not see me and something be wrong.

At 38 weeks I went in and he had a high heart rate and had stopped moving so I’m glad I always went in. He was delivered the same day and he’s a happy chunky little man :)

They’ve always said they would far rather you come in than not! It’s so worth it for piece of mind xx

Iv had 4 anterior placentas with my first an 2nd I was always up there being monitored coz I just hardly felt any movement with my second I had twice weekly monitoring from about 35 weeks due to it with my 3rd she had a pattern I use to feel her movements more on the sides only had a couple of occasions where I went in I was going the evening I went into labour I had rang to say she’s not moving much was sorting the kids went for a wee an my waters broke with the last one she was normally quiet all day an would bounce about all evening if she was a bit quiet I use to have a cold drink warm bath or lay on my left side an she would wake up

I went in a fair few times for reduce movements and each time I had to stay as my bp was high ….ended up with preeclampsia but we made it to 39 weeks …..you can never go too many times x

I am 26 weeks and went there 2 times until now , they always said you can come again if you feel worried, even they did scan at 24 again to check the baby , thank god now I think baby is bit growing nd I fee movements

ALWAYS GO IN! We see some women every day! And would always rather see you if you're worried and everything be fine than you not come.in on the one day it isn't fine! X

My sister who is a nurse just talked to me about this, she said please go in any time you are concerned about it. They would rather have you come in a billion times then not come in and your baby is dead. Just air on the side of caution and don't feel bad

I have asked myself this question a lot (I am 27 weeks and have gone to maternity assignment for reduced movement about 7 times already) if your worried go in. Even if your worried everyday, go in.

No amount of times is to many ... my pregnancy before my most recent one i was in there once maybe twice a week ... i had an anterior placenta as well as a 10lb 2oz baby and undiagnosed gestational diabetes .. she was a stubborn little monkey and caused a lot of anxiety as i miscarried a few months before i became pregnant with her.. obviously try a few things at home ice polls, fizzy pop, bath, favourite music etc to see if you get movement but never ever leave it and think your being a nuisance ... no one enjoys sitting and waiting in hospitals however my midwife at the time made me feel like i was over exaggerating and my routine appointment she was like oh in hospital again i see made me feel a bit cr@ppy... but the ladies in triage when i went in were very lovely and said sternly NEVER ever leave it and go in as it could be that one time you wish you did and it be to late just because you feel a nuisance which she reassured me i was not. my baby just had no room to move about and my placenta

Blocked a lot of movements ... so please do not feel this way ... your baby relys on you to protect and keep safe so you definitely go girl if in doubt... xxx

So at this stage of pregnancy, movement shouldn't decrease in frequency, but the quality of the movement will change.

My midwife would tell me to lay down on my side and do kick counts. As long as I could get... was it 10 or something movements/kicks within an hour, things were probably fine.

I would not recommend getting a dopplar. Movement is your best indicator at how baby is doing.

Try doing kick/movement counts. But if your gut tells you to go get checked-- go get checked.

I went every time I had concerns because it wasn’t worth the risk for me, this ended up being 5 times over a few months. The midwife told me herself she’d rather I come in 100 times and baby be fine, than me not come in and something end up being wrong. In the end, I was induced due to reduced movements and we found out during labour/after he was born that I had polyhydraminos causing reduced movements and a growth restriction so persistently coming in was a good thing!

Agree with not using a doppler St home. If you are worried about your baby, go in. End of. Too many times women have been reassured by home dopplers and baby has not been fine. I've had 2 cases where we were too late to be able to save baby. If those 2 women had come in when they were worried instead of listening at home, they might have gone home with their babies. Please don't use them if you're worried about your baby.

I know how this feeling is but thank of it this way mama you’re almost there and he’ll be here before you know it 🩵

ALWAYS call when in doubt

Thanks all , I went in last night and baby boy was fine 🫶🏼 xxx
