Listen to yourself and your babies kicks!

On Saturday (36 weeks) I was getting increasingly concerned with my babies kick amounts. The were fine, but not like normal. I took a nap and after I woke up I was waiting to feel him. Drank juice and ate chocolate. He kicked once. So I told my hubby we are going to the hospital. We arrived at maternity and they started monitoring his heartrate right away. The nurses said it looked normal. But they couldn't find a obgyn. So I went to casualties and waited for one there. He said let's not take chances and monitor through the night. Through the night it became clear his heartrate wasn't normal with hardly any variation. In the morning it dropped for a few mins and he said ok let's prep for a csection right now. And an hour later our beautiful baby boy was born. A little early and with the cord tight around his neck. I am glad I listened to myself and paid attention. Please do the same!
