7 Months

We've had a funny time over the last week or so.  Baby's movements have always been a bit hit-and-miss, due to the placenta being at the front, and now that the baby is starting to get more cramped Mum-to-be has been feeling the baby move less frequently than earlier in the pregnancy. Saturday before last we ended up going into the Day Assessment Unit to have Cardiotocograph (CTG) just to make sure that things were still OK. The midwife on duty did a great job at reassuring us that everything was fine. After an hour or so, and various amounts of prodding and poking, we were allowed to go home. The main thing that we've realised is that there is a lot more movement going on than we're actually aware of. The wife has now taken to announcing whenever she feels the baby move as this is helping us remember how often and how much the baby moves.
