37 weeks and 7 triage visits for reduced movements in the past 7 days

Hi girls, I’m starting to panic now, I’ve got an elective section booked but been in triage and admitted 1 night last weeks for 7 lots of reduced movements to the point I can’t feel my baby at all.

I have a consultant appointment today and don’t know what to do as it’s driving me crazy

I keep having this too. Im 37 weeks tomorrow, every scan I’ve had has been fine (and I’ve had a lot) and tends to be because he is curled up facing my back. It’s awful! I haven’t felt proper movements since 32 weeks

Have they not offered to induce you? I went in for reduced movements and went on the CTG monitor, still wasn’t happy with movements and then invited me back in the next day for one. Had one again and still couldn’t feel baby so they kept me in for monitoring overnight. If you feel like they’re fobbing you off ask to see their policy and procedures regarding reduced movements. It might be helpful reading that to make sure they’re following the right guidelines to keep you and baby safe x

I was in hospital constantly with my last son with reduced movements. There was no explanation from consultants and they told me I needed an induction at 39+3 because it got to the point I was there every single day. Obviously ended in emergency c section because he didn’t react well at all to the hormone drip. I wish I’d just had an elective c section like you tbh! Is there any chance you could move it forward?

Acid reflux

Even squash is giving me the worst acid I reflux feels like my throat is burning with acid whatever I do. I literally woke up and drank some and immediately felt my throat fill with acid it kept me awake all night feeling acid in my throat I take peptac and have a tablet off my the doctor but it don’t work

38 weeks!

Looking for some advice, was admitted for reduced movements on Friday but self discharged as everything was okay and movements picked up. Since last night I’ve been having light spotting and then this morning feel like again movements have dropped even after a couple of cold drinks. I do have a doppler scan today so is it worth mentioning something when I get there or call up before I go?

Anyone bleed like a period in early pregnancy, or am I cooked?

I’m 10dpo today. Yesterday I was getting faints. Today they’re darker, but all of a sudden last night I started bleeding dark red like a period… but my tests today are darker but not dark enough for a digital. I’m worried about ectopic. If this were chemical wouldn’t the tests be lighter?

Anterior placenta babies and back pain

Is anyone with an anterior placenta finding back and hip pain so much more real and painful 😅 I didn't have an anterior placenta with my last 2 babies.

GD

I thought my results by the finger pricking were good, turns out they were great for a non pregnant lady 😂
Anyway, I have GD, and it’s likely they’ll put me on medication since my 11-12hr of fasting is still giving a high reading. I have 1-2 weeks to adjust my diet and go from there even though I’m already eating a balanced diet, and eating what I can with Hyperemesis.

Those who’ve had it, is it more common to be given tablets or injections?
And if it’s injections, is it once a day? 🫣

Moving to West Wales

Hi all,

I am pregnant and will be moving from South to West Wales. This means I will likely need to change hospitals even though I really don’t want to. I will like be consultant led so will be the hospital in Carmathen. I have read terrible things about the care there so I am nervous. Has anyone have experience of it? Has anyone moved but kept their original hospital - is this even possible when there is so much travel involved?
