34 weeks pregnant.
Baby hasnt done the usual movements in over a week. I could lay down and he would kick my side, my husband would sleep with his hand on my stomach and feel him kicking as we fell asleep.
He would bulge my belly on the side (anterior placenta), I could see him kicking if I stared at my belly.
Went to the ER on Monday about it, heart rate was fine, gave me a referral for a growth scan the following Monday. Told me to come back if the movements dont improve/decrease again.
Tuesday the movements improved, not back to where they were but he was kicking every now and then. Not 10 in 2 hours like they say to count, but enough I was thinking maybe it was just a bad few days.
Wednesday I had my 34 week midwife visit. Heart rate was fine, measuring fine, baby was decreasing a bit but still moving enough not to have had me worried.
Thursday there was hardly anything, a few pressing movements but no kicking.
Friday (today) woke up, drank something sugary to see if that would help, he didnt move at all over the next few hours, went to the ER again at 3pm.
Heart rate was fine. Told me to come in in the morning to be checked again by their clinic so thats what I'm going to do. Dr said they would send me the referral document, they havent. I guess I'll just show up?
Hes currently moving now but again its just pressing movements not kicks like they keep telling me he should be doing. I think hes kicked once since coming back from the hospital nearly 10 hours ago.
