Hi everyone
Im 35 weeks and since yesterday my baby's movements have become literally none existant... He is usually very active from me waking through till bedtime.
Im just abit worried this means something? Anyone else experienced this?
Dont wanna ring m/w and sound like a moaner at slightest thing, but this happened with my last pregnancy, and they found there heart kept dropping.. then at birth (38 weeks) they realised it was all cos one of the twins having a long cord wrapped round her several times.
Im thinking surely this cant happen twice, but just know I feel very different since yesterday.
Any shared experiences etc will be helpful

What can I do next?

Have you called the doctor's office? You should have already. The first thing they would have told you is to drink some orange juice and lay down on your left side.

Having had a bad experience once, you should be on top of this like crazy the second time. SO WHAT if you sound like a moaner. This ISN'T a "slightest thing", mom. This is one of the things they say to call the doctor over because it's IMPORTANT.

Honey, why are you even on here asking this? Call your OB!!!

My son was wrapped in the cord and he nearly died. At 36.5 weeks I didn't feel him moving and went to the hospital. Had I wasted time asking online, he probably would have been dead.

Yes, having 1 baby with a "cord incident" does put your other babies at a slightly higher risk of also having "cord incidents."

Call your OB right away.

ETA: HELL NO WOULD I WAIT TIL 10 AM!!! Your baby could be dying in there! You should be in L&D right now getting checked out!!!

My local hospital has a very good maternity center that was very helpful when I had food poisoning when I was pregnant and didn't feel the baby move. I wouldn't hesitate to go back in your situation. If I were you, I would go right now.
