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.

The CTG transducer sends ultrasound waves through the amniotic fluid and echoes baby’s heartbeat, so they start moving because they can hear themselves! Totally normal - I’m a midwife and I felt like I was being shown up by my own baby! 🙈😂x

Yep, every time 😅 x

Yes, they said it’s absolutely normal can also be down to the sounds aswell while being in there, I’ve been in 3 times from RM and they’d rather be go knowing everything is all good than not

Yup. With both my pregnancies. Please don’t feel like you are overreacting, this is your baby and main focus. Your life is focused on them forever now. It’s completely normal ❤️

And if you ever have doubts again, don’t hesitate to go back or call. They will always understand and be much more happier you going in than ingoring. X

i went in and felt foolish (4 hours no movement) as soon as i’m there he’s kicking and having a great time but it made me so anxious im glad i went. if you didn’t go and something happened you would not be able to deal so don’t overthink it or feel silly.

Yes . At least 3 times with my 1st and I think twice with my 2nd.

Happens all the time

Rather be safe than sorry 🥲

I’ve been six (I think?) times? I’ve been so much they asked for an extra scan to check on fluids. I’m just an anxious person so if I don’t feel her move for a few hours or if she moves less in general throughout the day, I go in.

After surgery underwear

Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations for the best type of underwear to get to wear during c section recovery?

98th percentile baby!

So I’m 34 weeks and baby has been measuring large (only his tummy) since 2 growth scans ago which is bringing him to the 98th percentile and currently guessed at 5.6lbs!
My first baby was born at 7.11lbs so they have said he is big for my gestation in comparison

I am in so much pain and have been in preterm labour since 29 weeks so the contractions have been awful but never any progression! And his movements have slowed right down despite positive CTG and scans showing he is okay

Has anyone had this with baby? Gestational test was negative and I have a blood sugar test on Saturday

I have a midwife appointment and I’m wondering about requesting induction at 37 weeks ( I had my last at 38 weeks and almost ended up in a C section as my pelvis was to narrow and be kept getting stuck) so I’m getting very anxious about trying to deliver an even bigger baby!!

Thankyou in advance

C-Section date

I have had my obstetrician appointment at 36+5 days to request my elective c section.

The consultant requested the surgery for the 1st October making me 38+5 days on the day of surgery. But she did caution that it may be between the 1st-8th depending on theatre availability.
How many people got honoured the date they requested, and how many requested a specific date and was given a different date?

help 🥲

I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep having pains in my back/side and it’s exactly like a cramp and it feels as if that part of my back seizes up and tightens and I can’t get rid of the pain, has anyone else had this and if so do you know how to get rid of it 😫 it’s been like this for over a week now, I can’t do anything without it getting triggered, I feel like it may be from the position baby girl is in but I feel so helpless I’m in pain literally everyday 🥲

Scared to remove c section bandage

The midwife told me to remove it on day 5. I had my c section Monday morning so does that mean today or tomorrow?
