Pregnant after a Loss

Freaking myself out....ugh!

Sara was decently active this weekend, moving and rolling around but not super active like other days.  Then today she is not moving that much either but I have felt her this morning and then on the train into work and a few times at work.  Do I call the doctor or do I just see how she does with her movements through the afternoon.  I am freaking myself out and I am stressed with work, getting the house ready etc.  I have been drinking cold water to try and get her moving too but its not helping much and its hard to do kick counts at work because I can't lie on my side anywhere and concentrate.
 
I really hope these next weeks fly!

  • I read in one of the books to drink some water and lay down and count movement for one hour. There should be at least 10 movements in any given hour according to what I read.

    But if all else feels, esp at this point, I would definitely call the doctor if you're concerned. Absolutely!!

  • sounds like you've felt her a decent amount today, I would try not to stress and just keep an eye on it. I know how hard it is when you feel like they aren't as active as they should be, but it sounds like she's still moving around in there pretty good. I'm with you, I hope the next month goes quickly and that my baby decides to come a week or 2 early!! Big Smile
  • I think it sounds like you've felt her a lot today. When is her normal busy time?  My LO moves around most at night, around 8:30pm.  So I try to stay calm until I do my kick counts then and he always passes.  Sometimes being busy at work or being stressed can cause us not to feel all their little movements.  ((hugs))

  • Thanks everyone...she has continued to move throughout the day in little bursts.  I will do a kick count tonight when I am finally sitting on the couch and relaxed.  I am sure I am just freaking out but at the same time I just wish there was a point during this pregnancy when I was completely calm and not worried. She can not be in my arms fast enough and then I will have a whole new set of worries I know but I just can't wait for her birth day.
