Monitoring

I went into hospital as baby wasn’t moving like her normal self. Everything seemed fine when I was monitored but the doctor has asked me to come in for daily fetal movement monitoring untill she’s here. I’m 38+3, I will ask tomorrow if this is just precaution but has anyone in a similar situation been offered this?

Yes I was offered this, I was 40 weeks at the time and they recommended induction as I was at my due date and daily monitoring till then

I was 38 week on the dot when I went in with reduced movements and they offered for me to stay over on monitoring 🤣 had a sweep and since then she’s non stop moving

I had monitoring for a week a couple months back until I had a growth scan that was scheduled already. It was a bit of a pain going in but at the same time I liked knowing baby was okay. I think I had to go in as baby had some accelerations, it maybe that your baby had a few and they just want to keep an eye out til baby comes

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet driving them mad?? It goes off 5/6 times night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off! Anyone had similar issues?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
