Counting movements!

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.

I was never told about it, but then I was in hospital from 35 weeks onwards with twice daily ctgs so that might be why.

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 never asked to count movements, just MW asked if she was moving regularly.

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.

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.

I asked my MW about this at my last visit and she said that as long as I feel 10 movements a day then its fine. If I dont feel anything all day then call her.

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.

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.
