Double Digit day - how i spent it



Well last night I noticed that I had not felt my baby move since that morning. I spent most of the night worrying about it, as a result struggled to sleep. It was about quarter to 4 before I managed to sleep.

I spent all morning in bed trying all the tricks in the book to get baby to move. Nothing worked. Just after lunch time I texted my hubby telling him that I had not felt baby move since yesterday morning and that I had no credit to phone the midwife to ask her what to do.
Bless him, he came home from work with some credit for me so I could phone her, phoned the hospital instead as thought it would be better.

After dropping off our little one to his gran parents we went to the hospital to be told as I am only 25+6 weeks all they could do was to listen to baby with a Doppler as a fatal monitor would not pick baby up yet. Though ok better then nothing.

So the midwife there listened to baby's heart beat. A perfect 140bmp. he's usual. He was just having a lazy day. I have been told if I get worried about his movements again then to phone back up.

What a way to spend my first afternoon in double digits.
My baby is now currently kicking or head butting my cervix. All at least that's what it feels like. At least I know he's ok and hopefully I sleep a bit better tonight. Actually a lot better would be nicer.
