Topic: Help please Posted: 13 July 2011 at 6:42pm |
Hi I've never posted here before but I am a bit worried. I have non-epileptic fits which cause me to lose consciousness like a seizure would. Today I have had several and I am 36 weeks pregnant, My babys movements have slowed right down, it took nearly five minutes for my husband to get him to move which is unheard of cause normally he moves as soon as he hears my hubby even if Matt is just sleep talking, and even when baby did wake up he did four movement and went quiet again. Im with the community midwifery team at the hospital so I am reluctant to call them unless I am convinced its really serious (we've been up there for falsies before). I was just wondering what you would do in such a scenario, and what you think I should do? Because calling the hospital can be a bit dicey as I would more than likely speak to a midwife who doesn't know me, as mine works day shifts and after birth visits.

Alternatively (as you seem really hesitant) you could try calling Healthline on 0800 611 116.

Call them. I'm sure they would rather you did than didn't. Hopefully everything is ok but better to be safe.

Definitely call. Call healthline first if you want and they will probably tell you to contact the midwife team at the hospital and at least then you can say you have been 'advised to call by healthline' which may make you feel better about calling them
Hope all is well

Agree!! I would definitely be calling. Healthline would most likely refer you if you called them first.
Good luck hun

Since you are under a team at the hospital anyone you see or talk to will have access to your records. They will want to hear from you if you have concerns over your baby.
Ring them & go in to get monitored, they need to make sure all is well with baby & put your mind at rest.
I would not wait, just call as stressing yourself out is not doing any good for the baby.
I would not call heathline first as it is a wasted call, they can not determine all is ok over the phone.

Please call them - I hope you did! If you are worried about anything, don't hesitate. It doesn't matter if it's a false concern, better safe than sorry.
