Anyone up? On monitors now

Mule198513 · December 2015

Just wondering if anyone is awake? Woke up in the middle of the night feeling paranoid about movement when I realized j hadn't felt much last night. Did kick counts for an hour and only felt 3 so I came to l and d. She has a good heartbeat but they have me on monitors now. Life has been so crazy the past couple of weeks, maybe I'm just paranoid?

My poor DH, I think I scared him. Anyone else up?

Woke up at 4am(5:17am now). Thought my stomach had shrunk drastically and was starting to freak out. Keep feeling around for kicks and they were still there. Finally calmed down and realized I was crazy (very common to feel that way now).

Still wide awake though. Been happen often now. Wish I could sleep. 36wks and ready for this girl to come out.

I hear ya. I feel like I'm getting so paranoid.im glad you felt kicks!

It's almost 530am...been awake most of the night. Can't get comfortable for the life of me! And my baby has been moving like crazy most of the night. Not sure what the deal is with that. I'm glad your baby is okay. I get very paranoid when I realize I haven't been feeling him move very much, or at all, which has been the case more often than not lately. You definitely aren't alone on that

3:35 Am here and I'm wide awake. I def get worried too if my baby doesn't move but a kick count usually assuages my fears. If you didn't feel many kicks it makes sense to go to L&D. Hopefully everything is ok!

They are saying it's ok but it's strange cause they keep having to adjust the monitor and in the past it's been pretty steaightforward.

I'm just nervous cause I think they'll tell me I'm good to go soon but I still haven't felt much. I know they see the accel and decel on the monitor but I should feel her. She's usually really strong.

I mean how do I know it's all ok if kick counts don't help?

Lay on your side and drink water if she hasn't been moving much and hopefully she will start kicking again. Maybe she's just sleepy? Ask your doctor what they recommend if kick counts give bad results?

Maybe try a cold glass of milk? That and laying on my side tends to get mine moving when I'm feeling paranoid.

My doctor told me a few weeks ago that if I don't feel him move or he is barely moving then I should go straight to triage. So I don't think you're being paranoid

Hope baby wakes up soon

I was in at 36 weeks and they had to keep adjusting the monitor too as the baby kept moving. I was there for the stomach flu, not movement issues but I didn't really feel much movement and they kept having to adjust things so try not to worry!

And kick counts are 6 in a 2 hour window, and don't forget that babies sleep too. I also find the bigger they get, the different the movements feel. Try not to worry, if they send you home, it's because they know all is well!
