Change of movement - worried about fetal distress due to moving too much
Show your support
@Loren thank you. I had horrible intrusive thoughts that just made me sob, genuinely felt like I was grieving someone 🙈 the joys!!!
I've had some emotional roller coasters during pregnancy. The midwife i have says some stress is good for the baby and not to worry, they are robust. Main thing is if your OK now and then baby will return to normal movements . If in doubt though call triage. I'm now 34 weeks and baby feels vacuum packed and constantly trying to escape x
This happened to me yesterday and I went triage. She was moving so much it was actually causing me pain but they didn't seem concerned. Seem like it's a concern only when movements reduced a lot.
Frantic movements are a sign of distress and should be checked straight away just as reduced movements should be. If she's back to usual movements again now I probably wouldn't worry with it being yesterday, but if it happens again go straight to triage x
Cortisol will get them active, so it's likely if you were feeling quite anxious, this may have been the cause. But worth having a chat with your midwife anyway.
When I was stressed the other week my baby was going crazy. I looked it up and it said they tend to have increased movements if you're stressed, so I wonder if this is similar? You can always call triage and see what they say.
