Third Trimester Anxiety
I have been feeling anxious since yesterday as my LO movements are a little less but I also found out I have an anterior placenta which could impact. We are in the middle of a house move & supposed to move today but I can’t help but worry about whether LO is ok. Of course I’m not carrying any heavy stuff but been doing a lot of packing. I saw someone post here she lost her LO at 31weeks & really empathised with her. I’m planning to go to hospital once this move is over.
I was just reflecting how we see all these lovely pics or videos of influencers or ordinary people showing off their pregnancy but never know the anxiety that comes along. I guess I’m reflecting on this as mine has been quite a journey with regular monitoring due to some other issues. Anyways, I guess I’m looking for reassurance.

Trust your instincts if something feels really wrong, L&D healthcare workers would rather see you and find nothing than have you ignore something that could be serious! I will say it can be normal for your baby to have “sleepy” days in utero. My baby was really active most days and a few times she barely moved at all and it freaked me out. I had a posterior placenta and still noticed reduced movement as I got closer to my due date and baby had less space to move around. I had preeclampsia at the end of my pregnancy which really heightened my anxiety about having a healthy living bsby

Oh I totally get you! Especially when its your first, its all so weird and new and aciety inducing! I’m sure its fine but if you’re worried about reduced movements, always listen to your insticts and go get checked by the midwife. You’ll have a piece of mind and the move will get done. Your health (physically and mentally) and the baby’s is more important ❤️ I had some days of reduced movements during my pregnancy but always better safe than sorry 😘
