(UK) Reduced movement 34 weeks

Need some advice please!
So baby girl was quiet last night & today. I had a private scan early this evening for peace of mind due to the reduced movement.
The sonographer checked her over & all is as should be. She's a healthy weight, strong and steady heart rate and she was practicing breathing, swallowing fluid and sticking her tongue out.
Baby used to have quieter days earlier on in pregnancy but not so much in the last few weeks which is why I wanted to get checked over.
The sonographer was happy with baby, but said that if I'm concerned about her movements to go and get checked out.
I'm really conflicted now as she is still quieter than usual, but was fine at the scan earlier...
Should I get checked out now? Or do you think she'd have meant it in a 'for future reference' way?
Thank you!

If you're concerned I'd get a stress test done or check with your Dr.

Ring your maternity unit asap and go in for monitoring. A scan does not monitor a baby’s heart rate over a long enough period of time to ensure they are well. It’s just giving you a snapshot. Please call and go in x

@Rebecca I went in just, they monitored me for 30 mins and were happy. She's kicking away now!

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
