Growth Scan Referral

I went to triage for some spotting last night (also had some last week, hence the multiple plots on the chart). I’m now feeling really worried! I’ve been told I should have a growth scan tomorrow or Tuesday.

Sundown scaries 😱💀🙃

Im 6 months postpartum and I still am getting the sundown scaries I think anyways. Any one else still getting it? It’s like as soon as the sunsets never fails the anxiety hits this feeling of like the sky is gonna fall hits. And then I can’t sleep as well because my brain just starts to worry about a 1000 things. What do yall do to help with it? Can you take melatonin?

Balloon release

Am I being insensitive for thinking its ridiculous that people would do a massive balloon release in memory of someone who has passed away?

Of course it's extremely sad news and they should absolutely celebrate their loved ones life, but releasing 50+ helium balloons into the sky is such a selfish thing to do, and you'd think people would be more environmentally aware nowadays? Or is it just acceptable because its in memory of someone who has passed and I'm being too insensitive?

Am I being unreasonable?

I went to triage today with some spotting - they didn’t find a cause but as a ‘by product’ found that my fundal height had gone down and was now 4cm below where it should be (was previously tracking bang on). I’ve been referred for a growth scan and my husband doesn’t want to come as he will have to rearrange lessons (he’s a teacher). He was off for a day last week as he was ill so has already got to catch up on some lessons this week. I feel like he should want to come, but I’m not sure if it’s just anxiety and hormones talking.

Triage

How many times have been gone in to triage for reduced movements? I’m 26+2 but baby has kicked since 18 weeks and started noticing a pattern from around 22 weeks!
