Decreased movement at 37 weeks

Nic

I will be 37 weeks tomorrow. This morning I woke up with sharp stomach pain. Throughout the day I I’ve noticed my son isn’t moving much. I have had a few movements today. I ate a large meal and had a sugary drink. The bathtub always gets him moving like crazy. His kick count is only 1 in the last half hour and I’m starting to worry. I also don’t want to jump the gun and go in and make me look like a liar. The hospital is also an hour away and I also have a 7 year old. Anyone else have this happen? Should I call? I should also add I went to walk in Wednesday and have bronchitis so I’m also not feeling well.

Call and/or go in. No one will think you’re a liar and it’s your baby’s life. Who cares what anyone else thinks. Hope you went in.

Screw the nurse, you have to be the advocate for your baby and you did the right thing. Don't ever feel put down for doing what's best for your child :)

I did end up calling and they had me go in. The nurse was such a bitch to me but he looked good on the monitor so I felt much better.

I had this happen at 39 weeks. I called and went in. They monitored me for a few hours, while give me food and juice. Her movements still wasn’t normal and her heart rate was low. So the admitted me, and started to induce me, and her heart rate dropped more. So they took me back for emergency c-section. She was born happy and healthy. I’m so glad I went by my instincts and went in. I’d go in. Just to be safe.
