We had a bit of a scare yesterday! Teagan hadn't moved the whole day - and my usual tricks didn't work. Usually if I drink really cold juice and eat raisins the sugar gets her wriggling like a little worm. After trying these for about 2 hours I decided to phone the Triage at the Maternity ward at George Elliot: they told me to come right in and they would monitor her to see if there was any cause for concern.
Peter and I went together, the staff were really helpful and I didn't feel like a complete loony being worried (as a first time mom I worry about every little thing!). They monitored Teagan and all was well. Luckily it seemed as though the heat had affected her and she was just being lethargic. I was so relieved!
I was told that I should always ring if I feel that something isn't right. I shouldn't assume that she's not moving "because of the heat" and contact them with anything to put me at ease, that's what they're there for! I'm really happy about that. I feel much better now...
