back onto my left side for 2 hours again. last time I did this was Tuesday. started laying here at…

I didn't feel my son move my entire pregnancy. from about 33 weeks I felt feet in my ribs but never proper movement. I get that it's worrying. I spent my entire pregnancy never knowing if he was ok because I didn't have movement as an indicator. but if you stress out about it the baby will he stressed and that will affect the movement too. Although. ..FYI if you have 3 cases of reduced movement close to or after your due date then they will induce you. But I honestly wouldn't push for it. It's much harder to do and much more likely to have complications if your forcing labour before baby is ready

she's always been quite quiet really, and I get that its getting cramped now. I've been told by 3 midwives now to keep an eye on the movement. plus after my midwife told me tuesday that some other lady lost her baby due to reduced movements, and she was exactly the same amount of weeks as me, it's just put more worry into my head. I'm trying to not stress out but it's so hard when your told to keep an eye on movements and after hearing that some other woman's baby died. just makes things so much harder @tuftyturtle

Oh no I get it. They always told me to keep an eye on movement as an indication of whether the baby is ok. and then when I didn't feel any movement,they didn't really care about it...They all tell you to keep an eye on movement, if your worried they will listen in. I only got an extra scan to make sure baby was ok because my mum arranged it (she's a midwife) the more you worry the worse you will feel. everyone dreads the worst in their pregnancy's. I'm 18 weeks with my second and haven't felt a thing. The midwife didn't listen into heartbeat at 16 week appointment so I'm dreading 20 week scan. It's a natural part of being a parent and it doesn't stop when they're born
