Well Now I'm Nervous...

[Alwaysabridesmaidf]

I haven't felt the baby move a ton because of an anterior placenta but the last few days she has been moving a lot.
Today when I woke up, I didn't really feel her while I was in bed or the whole way to work. I ate breakfast and got 2 or 3 faint kicks but then nothing since. All the stories online freaked me out. I called the dr and they are having me come in at 12:30 est. Now I am sort of freaking out. If you can spare good thoughts please send them my way. Thanks!

[Alwaysabridesmaidf]

and they just called back to tell me that if I don't feel her move between now and 12:30 to just go to labor and delivery.

Sending you good thoughts! I really think you're fine. All my doctor said was that I should feel the baby every day. You'll feel less movement with an anterior placenta. Keep us updated on your appointment!

[picksthemusic]

Good vibes coming your way! It's always better to be safe than sorry, but I'm sure baby is just having a sleepy day. Keep us posted!

Sending good thoughts your way! I hope all is well!

Sending good thoughts! This whole movement tracking thing is going to stress me way out.

I'm sure everything is OK but I'm glad you're taking it seriously. Usually the day after Baby H has a uterine dance party, she's pretty quiet. Then she'll be dancing up a storm later. When in doubt I lay down, have something cold & sugary (ice cream works best for her... lol) and that get's her moving.

Sending good thoughts! Try to lay on your left side and drink a big glass of something cold and sugary to see if that gets her going. If it doesn't I'm sure L&D will be able to provide quick reassurance baby is just having a sleepy day.

Good thoughts for you that everything's okay!

[hbear]

I'm sure your fine. Hopefully your appointment will give you piece of mind.

I felt this way yesterday, and she eventually perked up. Good luck!

[nessness]

Sending you good thoughts! My baby is frequently sleepy in the morning and gets going around 10 or 11.

[ewall]

Thinking of you! Hope she is moving around now.

[Alwaysabridesmaidf]

Good news. She is moving but I am just not feeling it. Waiting to see the doc now but the ultrasound tech was happy I came in. She said people don't take this stuff seriously enough. Thanks for your positive thoughts!

That anterior placenta can be a bit of a mindfuck apparently!

[kams]

I had an anterior placenta with DD and it made me crazy. So glad to hear your sweetie is dancing around!

[Alwaysabridesmaidf]

Yeah anterior placentas are lame! At least I know now. Don't freak too much if I don't feel her for a bit.

[anaps28]

I'm glad everything is OK!

[curbsideprophet]

Glad everything is okay.

Glad everything is okay.  I am only 18 weeks but I already know I have an anterior placenta so I am really wondering how much different this pregnancy will be from my first.  I absolutely relied on those kicks for a reminder that my daughter was okay.  I have already been annoyed by several commentators that it's weird I haven't felt him yet when at least I know why.  

[awick14]

Yay, I am glad everything is ok.

[melsamoony]

Good news! Glad everything is OK. Good for you for getting it checked though. Smart lady.

[GotWine]

I'm glad to see the positive update! Anterior placentas are no fun!

[vtdiamond]

Glad everything is ok!

[jayded]

I have an anterior placenta as well, at each appointment I discuss movement with my ob. I'm currently 24 weeks and feel her a few times a day when I'm absolutely still. My ob doesn't seem concerned with the lack of movement I feel and tells me it's normal. With ds I felt him a lot. It makes me feel like I'm missing out and causes extra anxiety.

Good news!

[rachelgreen]

I'm so glad that everything checked out well and she is happily (silently) kicking away.

[gretchenindisguise]

Glad all is well!

I'm glad they took good care of you and all is well:)

[Odonata]

Glad things are ok. I have an anterior placenta as well and the description in your OP is pretty much my feelings of her every day. Maybe a few kicks then nothing for a long time then a whole day of movement.

[azurely]

Glad everything is fine!
