i know it all may sound silly but i think ive scared myself cause these thoughts are always there even with the BH i was thinking pls not today lol funny stuff...
i will def call tomorrow and see what they say
Hope you are feeling better today and got some peice of mind, it does all sounds quite normal to me but on the other hand you can never be too careful during pregnancy no matter what stage you are at
Just a random aside - with all my pregnancies they actually made the appts sooner the closer I got. It was monthly in the first and second tri, fortnightly for half the third tri and weekly leading up to birth. Granted I found it immensely irritating and told them I was unavailable sometimes to give me a week off. But yeah, by now I would have been on fortnightly moving up to weekly so its not 'normal' in all situations for the appts to be so far apart. However it could be with that hospital/system. You most certainly can and should, if you feel you need it, ask them to schedule appts sooner.
I am also in agreement with everyone else. Trust your instincts. If something doesnt feel right then get it checked. And try not to let them fob you off with it. (anecdote time! LOL) During labour with Sam I kept telling the middie there that something was wrong. During every contraction I was getting a more intense focused pain that didn't belong. I argued with this woman that it was not normal. But in her mind I had only laboured 3 times where she had delivered hundreds of babies and thus obviously had some kind of mental connection with her labouring mothers and could feel their pain and 'know' it was perfectly normal... (scuse the still present sarcasm years later). The next midwife checked however and there was meconium staining in the waters. She broke the bag to evacuate it but Sam still ended up in NICU. I guess I wonder sometimes if he would have been spared aspirating it if the original midwife had listened and checked.
Look after yourself, and dont worry yourself too much with your nesting instincts. Just remember to be wary of what fumes you are inhaling!
dont worry i will be not taking any risks with this one... just feel intoxicated with joy that i got it early and that everything is ok now like ive been given a new lease on life lol but i wont be over doing it time to start thinking abit more about the cons then just doing it and worrying bout wat might happen
Good on you for going to hospital you did the right thing. Now you need to try to take things a little easy. If the housework is not done, don’t worry about it. It will get done eventually
yes i know... Thank god.. she is healthy and everything else which is a good sign actually fantastic...
i guess its from all the nesting and running around ive been doing lately.. i have been trying to get all her and my stuff together so i dont have to worry bout it later on when ill be too tired so i guess thats it for me no more shopping or cleaning sprees lol...
i thank use so much though if it wasnt for all of use telling me to pull my finger out i probably wouldnt of bothered going at all so i owe use a great deal thank use soooo much im really grateful.. use sort of saved me n my lil girl...
with all my boys they were marathon dancers never stayed still all day and all night... but since she is a girl she is lazy as ever lol... she very diff compared to them.. i told my mum that the middys told me due to all the contractions and stuff she will be very limited and that she would be a bit tired... which wouldnt u be?? lol im exhausted and i havent even done anything...
Maybe a little white lie is in order? Either tell her yes you called & will be having another u/s tomorrow or that movement has picked up sinc eyou have been able to rest & she is fine?
ladies just wondering i jus had a mini arguement with my mum i havent been getting much movement over the last couple of days inwhich the midwife told me that its due to all of wats been going on and its typical but when im not having the cramping etc... i should get typical movement... which i get but she gets lazy and i put it down to being tired due to the ups and downs over the last 32 or so hrs.. well my mum and her big gob is trying to tell me its not normal and i should ring them and tell them and that if they dont do anything i should go somewhere else... i understand her anxiety as my friend very close to me and my DH cousin lost their baby in similar ways but the thing is she is making me paranoid!!! i told her to relax but she keeps calling asking "have u done it"!!! NO MUM I F**king havent now STOP PLSSSS.. its hard also cus i meant to go stay with her cause she lives behind the hospital and they want me close as i live 30 min away... its only till next tuesday but i cant handle her crap if she is gunna carry on like that my mum is a young mum she is 43 and im 26 but i swear she nags me too much and too talk like this is unfair... am i being hard on her??
Well, with mine, by the stage you are, movement wasn't constant due to there not being so much room in there.
Alex was 8 6, Sam was 8 12.
I was always told by the midwives that if there was no movement for 24 hrs, to go in straight away.
Think about it.....the bigger they are, the less room there is to move around.
What I used to do if I hadn't felt anything for a few hours was to poke & prod them with my fingers to get them to squirm.....lol!
can you have a cold sugary drink, that usually gets them going. I think your mum is just worried and being a caring mum, but /i think she also needs to calm down a bit.
You were in being monitered today and she was fine. Has she been quiet all day?
Maybe just call the MW and tell them your mum's concerns. At least then you can say "yes mum I called them, they said it's normal". If that would help?
Aww hun, it's so hard when people are trying what to do and even harder when it is your mum
From experience ~ and a lot of it, having been having contractions for 6 weeks now and being heavily medicated to try and stop them. I know that bubs doesn't move anywhere as much when I am having bad days, today has been a pretty bad day for me, they started at 6am and having been going all day, rangin from 20-30min appart down to 10min or less and stopping me talking through them. Bubs has been very quiet, just a few stretches every now and then but that is it. But for bubs I see it being bear hugged all day and I don't think I would be very playful either. But on the good days I get a lot more movement and bubs is much more playful.
How has bubs been while you have been on the CTG? I would assumer that if bubs was having decelerations that the recovery must have been good or they wouldn't have let you go home. but they did want you close and 30min is quite a distance to travel, especially if something changes quickly.
I still keep an eye on the stretching movements and random kicks, and as long as I get them in the bigger breaks then I know all is ok, the hiccups are also handy 10 a day isn't that many, so perhaps keep a bit of a tick chart so that you can get an idea how many you are getting that way it will give you an idea and help calm your mum down.
If you find that your really aren't getting the movements then a trip back in to keep a check on bubs may be a good idea.
