I ended up ringing the hospital about babys movements and went in for monitoring. They couldnt find his heartbeat for ages at first (a few minutes but felt like a lifetime) but eventually got it. Baby still wasnt moving while I was on the monitor so midwife pushed him round in my belly and he started kicking out so she was satisfied after a few mins.
They wanted to book me in for induction this week but I have agreed to go in for monitoring every day first of all to see how things get on. Midwife gave me a sweep but it didnt go very well, she could only just get a fingertip in my cervix so said she didnt actually 'sweep'.
Yeah I was nearly crying midwife was a bit panicky after a few mins and tried to make out that she couldnt find the HB because I was stressing (but I was only stressing because she couldnt find it ) but then she got it and we both breathed a sigh of relief.
Yep, they want to induce because of the continued reduced movements. Midwife spoke to the registrar and they said that I should be induced. I agreed to monitoring this week everyday and went home. She has since rang me since I have been home and said that she has got me a date for induction for this wednesday so I have booked in and will be induced wednesday afternoon/evening (if baby doesnt come before then, which I doubt).
Checked my notes and I am only 1cm dilated and 50% effaced so cant see anything happening before wednesday!
I haven't got a clue, Smiley. I had them before I was pregnant, and the day I went in to get assessed etc. I found out I was pregnant. I'll obviously have to discuss it with my DR I think. Just paracetamol, but with my morning sickness it makes it hard as I don't swollow pills easy, good eh?

Oh dear, what a nightmare. With any luck, baby will come very soon and you can get to a doctor for some stronger pain relief while they book you in for an assessment again
