Have you gone in for decreased fetal movement before?

Question

Answer

I did and they did all these things to try to make my daughter move and she just wouldn't budge. Then they used this thing(don't know what its called) to make a weird sound on my belly and my goodness did it scare her! It took a couple of hours for her to stop kicking and relax.

Answer

I went in 2 or 3 days before my first son was born due to him not moving like all day. Was monitored for a couple hours and he was fine he was just settling in for labor to begin. Which it did a couple days later. 
When my mom was pregnant with my brother she went in and got checked because he wasn’t moving and turns out his umbilical cord was so ridiculously long that he was in the fetal position and the cord wrapped around his body and his neck cutting off his air supply. They did an emergency c section and luckily my brother was fine and they caught it just in time. So I always say better safe than sorry. It may just be that baby is being lazy but it never ever hurts to go in and check. They won’t be mad. You can always drink a tall glass of cold orange juice and lay down to focus and try eating a snack or something sweet. If baby still doesn’t move then go in.

Answer

Yes I went in three times with my son! All towards the end of pregnancy. 
The third time they said out the blue that they’d got a bed ready for me on delivery suit and did I have my hospital bag with me. 😳
I was 10 days overdue but so not ready to be hearing I’d be leaving with my baby that day! 
(Baby was fine all 3x I’d gone in to get check btw. Just he was being a lazy boy and making me panic!)

Answer

Yes. I hadn't felt anything during the night or day. Went for a check up ( that afternoon) and everything was fine it seemed he was having a lazy day. It is common and can happen.
