Hi ladies.

I need your advice!
It's the second day that I can't feel the baby. I'm a bit over 30 weeks pregnant and I'm quite worried. Normally the baby really had fixed times and I could clearly feel him several times a day.

I've also had some discharge for a few days (just white and slimy). I don't think it's the mucus plug, but I wondered if it could be related to the baby moving less/not at all. Hopefully someone can advise.

    Call your midwife!!
    My midwife said that if you feel the baby less, even if you usually feel the baby well 8 times and now it's only 6 times, you should already call. Don't wait too long.

    Hi girl,
    just call immediately!! You said you haven't felt the baby for 2 days... just call and don't let them brush you off!
    I barely felt my daughter in the last week before my due date too and reported it immediately to my OB-GYN, and I was allowed to go to the hospital right away for a CTG etc... and from then on I went to lie for CTG checks every day... also because I was overdue, but also to keep an eye on our little girl.

    Keep us posted??
    Lots of love, Daphne and Nyana

    Hi. Your replies are so sweet.
    I went to have the monitor check again on Wednesday evening. There was a clear heartbeat.
    On Saturday, I had another check-up with the gynecologist; the monitor was fine again, and the ultrasound showed everything was okay too.
    Now I can feel him more clearly already. The gynecologist couldn't explain it, but said to go back if it happens again.
    I've had pain in my lower abdomen and back since this afternoon. It's a dull ache, but I can still feel the baby. Not sure if it's due to the heat or something else.

    Thanks for your sympathy!

    Pain in your belly and back? That's not okay. Call your GP or midwife. I was also complaining and it turned out I was just getting into labor. Don't guess. Love.
