#ReducedMovements - Twitter Hashtag

Taking myself in to hospital for #ReducedMovements and having my worries & concerns listened to and acted upon are why I am able to celebrate a 3rd Birthday tomorrow. I’ll be forever grateful to my amazing #NHSConsultant, and to the whole of the #VelocityClinic for their incredible care, and for keeping my baby alive. #KicksCount. They really do. NEVER ignore reduced movements. Three years ago today, at 36 weeks pregnant, I took myself off to maternity triage with reduced foetal movements as I had done many, many times previously with 4 high risk pregnancies. I expected to be monitored, reassured, and sent home. After an hour of monitoring, the midwives seemed happy, and were ready to send me home. I still wasn’t happy with movements and pushed my worries. They listened to me and agreed to ask for a dr review. Back in the waiting room, I coincidently met my consultant, who was on call on L&D that evening. Having seen her for my regular weekly appt just the day before, she was concerned to see me there. I told her all my worries, just as I had with the midwives, and she decided to scan, there and then, on the L&D ward. I believe she saved my baby with this decision. It turned out that my baby had stopped moving, as the placenta was failing, I had no waters left due to this, and I had developed pre-eclampsia. I was immediately admitted to the ward, was put on meds for BP, and was monitored hourly until an emergency c-section was carried out. And that’s where the trauma of O’s birth began…! #NHS #MaternityServices #HighRiskPregnancy #BirthTrauma #Csection #Labouranddelivery #NHSMaternity #MaternityMatters #Midwives

Babies do NOT normally 'slow down' close to labour - this is a dangerous old wives tale. Reduced movements? Call your maternity triage. 📞 🏥 @KicksCount @TommysMidwives @Tommys_baby #reducedmovements #kickscount #pregnancy #myth #debunked #stillbirth #advocacy
