i had a scare!
Well yesterday i didnt feel Jamin move at all. for 24 hrs.i know im still early to feel steady movement (im 26 weeks) but when i was so used to feeling him everyday and being able to see my stomach move it was scary not to feel anything all day. i called the nurse at the office i go to which is a really good friend of mine and she got my doc to call me. which i thought was really nice of her! Most docs wouldnt do that. it was a sunday night too. she told me to eat and drink something sweet so i got a snickers and a coke and downed those then she said to lay on my left side and see if i felt him. well i laid there for an hr and nothing. so she sent me to the er to check the hb and put me on the fetal monitors to check for movement and to make sure i wasnt having contractions or anything else. everything looked great. she explained why i prob wasnt feeling him and that she just wanted to send me in to the er for a peice of mind for me and her. she said i wouldnt be able to sleep and that she wouldnt either. it seriously was the scariest thing that ive been through. i just prayed to God that everything was okay. the policy at the hosp was that i would have to stay over night but she called the er before i go there and talked to the docs to work it to where i could go home after. she had to come to the hosp to d/c me if i wanted to leave that night which was 1 in the am! Im so thankful everything is okay! I prob wouldnt have freaked out if i hadnt had to miscarriages, but i needed the reassurance. i was so scared. And what a wonderful doc i have!
I think sometimes our babies just have lazy days, kinda like we do. Some days we are just more tired than other, or maybe they were going through a growth spurt. At least all is well! =)
I'm glad everything is okay! I was freaking out today a bit because I only felt the baby twice the entire day and they were very faint movements. Wasn't until I got in my bed and was checking medhelp that I got 5 kicks in a row! I was relieved.
it is so reassuring! I wouldnt have known what to do and i would have been freaking out allllll night!
i had the same aobut 3 weeks ago when i was 23 weeks, like you, my midwife came straight over to my home and checked for the babies heart beat. its so reasuring to have a good caring midwife / nurse with you!!
