Failed NST Test , 36 weeks and 3 days pregnant

Hi I’m a first time mom and I went in for an urgent NST test today at my obgyn office and baby boy failed the test he wasn’t moving much and his heart rate kept going up . They sent me to get an ultrasound and the ultrasound tech said everything looked normal , I was looking at the ultrasound and he barely moved . I kept telling my doctor that he isn’t as active as he used to be . My obgyn never takes my concerns seriously, what should I do ?

Report it to the hospital or get a second opinion from another hospital immediately

I'm sorry that sounds so stressful. Have you been doing kick counts? Did they give you juice or anything to try to get baby moving during the NST?

Ugh that sounds so stressful. The normal ultrasound is reassuring but it probably wouldn’t hurt to get a second opinion if you can. If only to put your own mind at ease.

Brown discharge?

Last night I had light brown discharge only a small amount
I’ve then been asleep, been on a 5k walk, had an hour nap and it’s now 5pm. I’ve been to the toilet and just had a lot more dark brown discharge (the photo).
Anything I should be concerned about? I’m 7 weeks tomorrow

I had early scans and blood showing pregnancy is in the uterus, so it’s not an ectopic. Me and my partner haven’t had sex since we found out at 3.5 weeks, so I know it’s not from that.

Positive elective C section stories please.

Bit of background.
I had an tramatic emergency c section with my 1st (under general) resulting in a weeks stay in hospital.

Now..37wk with GD and they have brought me forward to deliver via elective next week due to him measuring over 8lb allready!

Can’t help but worry due to what me and baby went through with my 1st and also worried staying in hospital for a long time due to having a 3yr old at home.

So any positive stories to try put my mind at rest would be great!
Thanks x

How did people feel leading up to labour?

Last time I was induced and ended up having a c section so I don’t know what it feel like leading up to water breaking/ labour. I’m 38 weeks pregnant baby dropped ages ago and today I woke up from a nap and instantly just started throwing up out of nowhere and diarrhoea. Last night I was getting allot of lower back pain and twinges in my groin area. I now pregnancy can be weird so not sure Norman just that or a sign it’s getting close.

If someone told
You they worked in a hospital, would it give you a positive or negative first impression?

Midwife home visit before birth

Anyone had a home visit or expecting one?

I never had one with my first baby, I’ve moved district since having her and had a call this time that a midwife was coming to visit and I have no clue what to expect 🥴😂
