So im going to see my doctor tomorrow morning, and im really r.E.A.L.L.Y scared hes going to tell me my baby has an illness, I dont know what but like a muscle problem? That happens doesnt it? Theres people born with muscle problems, so that could be another reason hes not been moving. Or if I passed a cold onto him, I dont know if thats possible? Because if hes got a virus from me then he wont move as much as usual, like when we are sick we go to bed and rest still not move about because we feel ill. And him being a big baby so theres no room for him to kick. Maybe those reasons sound stupid but they dont to me, and im going to say them to the doctor...See what he says, if they are possible reasons for this.

Im guessing hes going to listen to the heartbeat and take my blood pressure, or do a scan. I dont know what else to expect, im hoping hes okay, but I know thats not likely because this isnt normal...So there must be something wrong with him. I want to keep him either way sick or not. I wouldnt have him adopted for that reason.
If there is something wrong and the doctor says I could have prevented it by getting checked earlier, then yeah it will be my fault I dont need anyone else telling me. I know i've been wrong waiting this long to go...I realise that now, but before I kept ignoring it and telling myself everythings fine. I feel guilty. I just hope the doctor can give me some medicine for him or do something to help whatever's wrong. Or tell me hes fine and I just havent felt his movements because they have been small, due to not much room...Which is what I kept telling myself was the reason. I wish someone was going with me tomorrow, anyway i'll let you guys know what the doctor said when I get home.

Sorry to go on so much...And thanks for support some people gave in the other post thing.

Hi allie

i hope everything is ok with your bub.

I'm 22 weeks along with baby no. 4 and I was worried aobut the lack of movements from my baby too. I was getting maybe 2 movements a day. I had a scan and everything was ok, but baby wasn't very active on the scan either.

It seems that medication I was taking for my wisdom teeth (it was panadol with an added calmative medication) was not only making me sleepy, but my bub too. Now i'm not taking it my baby is kicking 24/7. The medication was pescribed by my dentist as quite safe in pregnancy.

Are you taking anything?

Let us know how you go at the docs.

Could be an anterior placenta also.... Where the placenta is towards the front and so you can't feel the kicks.

I don't imagine if something is really wrong (which I think there is)...That she'll be back for a while...They'll want to run more tests probably make her go up to the hospital...But anyways, as soon as you get a chance let us know.

Her appointment was at 10:30am and I don't know what time it is in england but i'm sure it's later than that so something must be wrong or she would've been here by now. :(

It's odd that she waited until her appt..

My doctor is telling me to keep track of kick counts, and if they don't match 10 in an hour then to go up to the office & tell them I failed my kick counts.

Either her doc is a fruit loop, or she's some type of monster for not going asap.. What mother does that?

I don't want to bash her in this thread, but being young and naive is no excuse for her. Obviously most of you girls are young and pregnant(i was 17 when I conceived my first) and have the common sense to rush to your doctor or emerg when something isn't right.

Sincerely, I hope nothing but the best for her baby!

She may have been in a bit of shock or denial. Some people get scared and then think that maybe the problem will just go away or right itself if they ignore it. It's mostly a juvenile way of thinking but plenty of adults do it too. Hopefully everything is ok.

just to defend her doctor...He/she told her to come in if the baby wasn't moving or she was concerned...And she lied to him/her and said that the baby did move. Then she called in another day when she got scared and the receptionist said that her doctor wasn't in but she could come in that day if she liked and another doctor would see her, but she said no.

So it isn't that her doctor hasn't been accomidating...She was just being stupid.
