Should I go be checked out??

Question

Ladies I know this might seem strange but I really need your advice here...
I have an anterior placenta that can sometimes effect how much I feel my baby move but he got himself into quite a routine since 30 weeks (I'm 34 weeks now) but over the last 2 days I've barely felt him move at all, a few light wriggles and that's it, my partner thinks I'm over-reacting because we've been to the hospital twice before for false alarms so I'm unsure weather to go over or not. I know babies movements are important but I don't know if it's just due to my plancenta or if there is actually a problem. Please help :(

Answer

My baby did that for three days straight. Than he started up again. :-) You can wait or go. Do what makes you feel at ease.

Answer

If you are worried you should definitely get it checked out. I have an anterior placenta plus a baby that only settled into a regular rhythm between weeks 30 + 34. Before (and since) there's been no regularity...which is super stressful (thanks peanut 👌🏻🙄) I know they say movements change as they run out of room, but you need to trust your gut instinct x

Answer

My midwife told me that when he starts moving around lay down for 2 hours (if you can) and feel for 10 movements. She also said if I did feel the 10 movements but was still feeling concerned to go get checked.

Answer

I also have an interior placenta and my midwife told me to lay on my left and drink something cold.

Answer

I would try and drink something with sugar and cold ....like lemonade! If you still feel nothing then go in.

Answer

Anytime you feel like you should go, go. That's what they're there for ☺️

Answer

If you're worried then go in. It doesn't matter how many times you go to the hospital, you want to make sure your baby is ok! It's normal for them to have quiet days, and it could well be because of your placenta. But if you feel like you need to go in then I would do it x
