I was around 25 weeks into my 4th pregnancy and one single moment i felt an over whelming fear of 'somethings wrong'.i told a couple of my friends and partner "just being silly,paranoid" they said.this feeling just wouldn't go awaya few weeks past.i went to the doc and told
him there's something wrong and there's not as much movement of bub.he listened with the doplex and there was a regular heartbeat of 140bpm.i felt no relief of this and doc said come back in aweek and we'll have another listen.I was anyway at high risk of early birth as my last baby born at 27 weeks and i was fearing i would have to go through the whole king edward 4month experience again.the whole week i spent trying to arouse bub with plenty of lemonade and red cordial but i felt nothing and i had a strange growing feeling in my abdomon.i thought this is not normal.i went back to the doc a few days before schedueled and again told him somethings wrong,iam not getting the movement and explined the growing feeling.again he listened with the dopplex,nothing it was silent.an ultrasound confirmed that my baby had past away.i had to go into labour and i just had to have a epidural as i was already hurting in my my heart and i couldn't brave the physical pain also.10hrs later i had a beautiful baby girl.
my 5th pregnacy was an anxious one but got through until i got to 35 weeks until i got another bad feeling 'the cord somethings wrong with the cord' a scan showed nothing.at 39 weeks i was induced and 3 hrs later i had handsome baby boy and guess what there was a knot in the cord!
my 6th (and swore to be my last!)i got to 35 weeks (gratefully)over the week i had woken during the night with labour pains but put it down to braxton hicks.by the end of the week the pains got gradually worse but different and again i knew something was wrong.the doc putit down to a bladder infection i refused to believe this and i demanded more tests.nothing showed up mind you no ultrasound was done,they treated me as if i was just being paranoid and a winger.they kept me in overnight an dsent me home the next day.i told the doc and nurse the pain is getting worse,"sorry love you'll just have to put up with it"the nurse said.i went home but i was back 2 hours later as i had started bleeding.6 hours later i had a baby girl and the problem the placenta started coming away from the uterus.
if you have a persistant bad feeling in anything believe in it,and make sure someone listens.women's and mothers intuition no falicy in my mind
it must have been heart braking for you to hear no heartbeat. i thought the same had happened to me but he had just moved. my heart goes out for you. i know what you mean by trust you instincts my son was lying wrong and i was having high blood pressure and lack of movement but i was told im just being silly. i nearly lost my son cos of it.
