The importance Of Reduced Fetal Movements And Movement Guidelines

[LuvBeinAMummy]

hope everything went ok and everyone is well. xx

Have only just seen this reply x

Things went ok ended up having to have an emergency c section as baby's heartrate shot up to 190 and the drs weren't happy with it.

But he's here and was born weighing a very diddy 6lb 10oz and he is a joy and a pleasure for all of us.

Hi, sorry for barging in lol, but this is my thing....since about 20 weeks bubba has been givin strong kicks, sometimes so sore I feel like I might jump off the seat lol. Yesterday and today he has been very quiet, I can still feel him moving but they seem lighter movements in a way. I do have an anterior placenta, so I'm hoping maybe he has moved and is kicking where I cant feel so much, as now when I use my doppler he is qite hard to hear (the hb rate is still the same) so I'm thinking maybe he is lying in my back and kicking my placenta???
I dunno whether to call the mw, as it means getting hubby home from work to get my son from school, but then again, I dunno, coz I'm worried.

 

[keldac]

it is always better to be safe than sorry. If you're worried go and get checked x

wow thats amazing.
my partner Kim is having reduced movement today, he kicks like mad but after us being a bit rough last night TMI sorry he hasnt moved much, i have asked half a dozen times for her to call midwife to get checked out, i have copied and pasted the first post on here and emailed her but she insists he will be fine.
what am i meant to do and say?
i know i over react but i like to be safe than sorry especially when she had a still birth years ago.

If she has already had a previous stillbirth then she falls into a high risk category for it to happen again.

If she is having reduced movements then she needs to be seen.

thank you, she eventually called miswife yesterday afternoon and was told to call labour ward, she called and after alot of questions they wanted her in just to check, everything seemed fine, she was monitored for about 20 mins so sent her home.
she hasnt told anyone at hospital she had a stillbirth.
she is no really poorly, sick and bad tummy, hot dizzy etc.
he still has only kicked about 6 times in 2 days.
but hospital know what they are doing and i suppose i have to trust them

no one never actually knows that things are fine. heart beat or not..to have a previous stillbirth you MUST indeed tell them. its serious when you dont get that much movements...if i was you i would tell them and get her checked over. when i had no movements with a good heartbeat they still induced me cos there was obviosly something wrong. please get her checked over.. better to be safe than sorry

 

[Jox]

im sorry but y has ur partner not told them shes had a previous stillbirth? Surely that in itself is putting the baby at harm? I would of lost my 2nd too if it wasnt 4 the care plan in place due to losing my 1st

 

[babydeabreu]

i agree with jo.

 

[meldmac]

She really needs to tell them!

 

[Wantabean]

kns my son had a really good staedy heartbeat but he wasnt moving. after an hour and a half i had to get crash section and my son was very close to not making it. u are ment to get at least 10 movements in 12 hours so you need to get your oh back in to get checked if there is only 6 in days. please try get her in!! hope everything goes well xxx

It will be in her obstetric history.

A stillbirth requires a death certificate for burial so they should know.

I am very confused.

 

[LuvBeinAMummy]

I agree with a previous stillbirth she should mention it and surely when she was booked in they would have asked about previous pregnancies etc.

I constantly went on about the loss of my son and his stillbirth when I was concerned and the midwives were very understanding about my worries.

And I have to be honest that doesn't sound like an awful lot of movement for 2 days.

 

[v2007]

6 movement is 2 days is IMHO too little.

How many weeks was she when her fisrt child passed away. may i ask?
