Reduced Fetal Movement, I Am on PROCARDIA and I Have GD?

by admin

I notice my fetal movement (24 weeks and 1 day) is very less compared to what i felt in the last few weeks. I am put on nifedipine (Procardia) to stop contractions which i do not feel at all. I am really worried and ordered for a fetal monitor. Went to the ER several times just to check my baby's heartbeat . am I alright?
Thank you sweetie, i read somewhere PROCARDIA reduces blood flow (and also to the fetus) . I had a miscarriage last time at the same exact time.
i am using 10mg. I read this is a class C medicine and i was told this is perfectly normal to take it..Really worried and getting restless. Anyone, please advice..thank you

If the doctors say that the baby is alright, then you really just have to trust them and trust God, there is no other choice. Also, remember that as babies get bigger, they move around less, because they have less room in there!
