I was never told to count as such either time, but I did subconsciously coz I knew I should. With the gremlins my Sienna was lying funny so I couldn't feel her move, the OB could see her kicking me on the u/s and yet I couldn't feel it at all so I had to have CTG's every 2 days to check on her. Mercedes was a different story, she bounced around all over the place.]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 15:44:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=322745&title=counting-movements#322745 <![CDATA[Counting movements! : I was told to count from 34 weeks...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=322528&title=counting-movements#322528 Author: emz

I was told to count from 34 weeks when they realised Jack was IUGR cos he was cutting off his umbilical cord. At 38 weeks I was getting monitored and had CTG every couple of days, so I just counted in the day between. Had to feel 10 movements by 9pm.]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 12:52:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=322528&title=counting-movements#322528 <![CDATA[Counting movements! : I was told to count at about 34-35...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=322291&title=counting-movements#322291 Author: Freesia

I was told to count at about 34-35 wks but I had signs of pre-eclampsia and cholestasis so I was being monitored closely - CTG's twice a week as well.]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 08:48:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=322291&title=counting-movements#322291 <![CDATA[Counting movements! : I was told at 28 weeks to count...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=322265&title=counting-movements#322265 Author: rosewood

I was told at 28 weeks to count 10 movements a day and to contact mw if I hadnt reached this figure and we could go to the hospital for a ctg.

Also told that if baby did seem a bit quiet to have a cold sweet drink and sit for a little while as this would just wake baby up a bit and get them moving again.]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 08:11:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=322265&title=counting-movements#322265 <![CDATA[Counting movements! : I asked my MW about this at my...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=322250&title=counting-movements#322250 Author: Shezamumof3

I've been counting movements from when I was about 28 weeks - it gives me a peace of mind to know I can feel 10 easily when bub is active. ]]> Tue, 11 Mar 2008 06:39:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=322229&title=counting-movements#322229 <![CDATA[Counting movements! : I was also asked if I felt lots...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=321326&title=counting-movements#321326 Author: busymum

I was also asked if I felt lots of movements, but in the last few weeks I occasionally got the talk that if the baby moved less than 10x per day to call asap - but not exactly told to count.]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 19:33:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=321326&title=counting-movements#321326 <![CDATA[Counting movements! : Mum2Ella wrote:I was never...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=321230&title=counting-movements#321230 Author: Rachael21

The MW mentioned '12 movements a day' once I told her I had started feeling movements.

I was moved to the high risk Obs hospital team at 28 weeks and they wanted me to monitor movements more closely to the stage where I had to try and distinguish between both babies and get on average 4 movements from each baby an hour.

I had in total 2 weeks of hospital stay and I got 2 CTGs a day.]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 13:41:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=321197&title=counting-movements#321197 <![CDATA[Counting movements! : it was around 20 weeks for me...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=321196&title=counting-movements#321196 Author: james

From 32 weeks I was asked with Josh and it stopped at 37 weeks as I was having CTG's done every couple of days.

I was told to do the a movement chart with all my pregnancies and if I hadnt felt movements was sent to the hosp for a ctg everytime. I cant remember the exact time I was advised to start counting but it was somewhere around 35weeks.

So i am on to my third pregnancy now and not once have i been advised to count my babies movements. I see the chart in the books and understand all about it but was just wondering how many of you do it and how many were never told about it?... And from what stage of pregnancy do they advise this? ]]> Sun, 09 Mar 2008 10:35:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=15148&PID=321121&title=counting-movements#321121
