I’m going in for reduced movements again

It’s been 4 times in the past week. Surely this can’t keep happening? I’m going there for 6/7 hours because of shortages of staff and doctors.

There must be a reason???? They just fob me off. I’m 37+5

Sometimes there really isn’t a reason. I kept going in for reduced movements until Saturday when they decided to deliver my baby via c section because she wouldn’t meet criteria on the monitor. She came out as healthy as she could be and there wasn’t anything they could find so she was showing signs of distress for no reason. That beinf said, keep going in as often as you need to you know your baby and your body better than anybody else

Should I be concerned?

These results were uploaded at 6am and I can’t get hold of my midwife yet. I didn’t even know a sample was being sent off!

Our May baby finally came last night!

We were having a surprise, and it's our 3rd boy! Came at 41weeks. A bit bigger than expected! But doing well 😊

Maternity triage for reduced movement

In best case scenario, how long do they usually monitor you for before they are reassured when going to maternity triage?
Trying give a realistic estimate for what I should tell my manager before going. Obviously I know it could be longer if they noticed something is wrong.

C section recovery

I had my second c section 3 weeks ago now and today I’ve noticed my incision feels tight on one side. When cleaning it I noticed spotting aswell. Other than this I feel fine in myself and have been back to normal day to day activities since around the 1 week mark. I’m wondering if I’ve pushed myself too hard but it’s hard not too as I’ve also got a 2 and a half year old. Anyone else had a similar experience?
