36w3d – The start of the trouble

Went in for check up. Hadn’t felt good movements again, so had tests done, fetal monitoring, blood tests, urine tests etc., all is looking good, but they are concerned about baby. Had scan. Baby is measuring 36w everywhere but his stomach is only measuring 33w. They think my placenta has stopped working and the baby is starving. Have to count movements closely on Tuesday, and go in again on Wednesday. They told me to bring my bags with me – that they probably won’t let me out when i go in. I am terrified.
