33 weeks, baby moving much less

Well I phoned the midwife at my ob's practice and she said I should go in to get some CTG monitoring done.

The monitoring showed baby's heatbeat is fine. A baseline of about 135, going up to about 165 sometimes. Apparently there is nothing to worry about there.

So I'm much relieved, wondering whether I was being paranoid to start with, but I guess it's still "better safe than sorry", and baby and I both are better off if I'm not worrying about stuff like this.

I posted last night with a similar post to toomany but it hasn't come up.

Definitely don't feel like you were being paranoid..the best advice I think i ever got when we had Noah was that as his parents we always know best and to always trust your instincts!!

If you had the same concern again I would suggest doing the same thing again, as you said always better to be safe than sorry!!

It's not being paranoid - I'm glad you went in. Stress is a risk factor for a lot of things, so alleviating your stress is not a bad thing! I hope the rest of your pregnancy (not long now!) is smooth sailing.

Thanks all.

Baby is back to moving her usual amount today. I was awake in the night wishing her kicks would be a little less strong, even.

So I dunno why she was so very quiet for those couple of days earlier in the week, but I'm glad things seem back to normal now.

That's great to hear Tenar!
