Movements

Hey,

So this is my first pregnancy and I used to be quite a big lady till I lost quite a lot of weight however I do still have quite a big stomach.

I didn’t really start to feel movements until 22 weeks and now some days I feel movements loads like he’s a gymnast in there but then I go around 3 days with nothing but the slightest flutter.

I’ve asked and my placenta isn’t at the front either.

I guess I’m wondering if this is still normal for 25 weeks, could it just be that I don’t have a very active baby or could it be down to some of my extra stomach layers 🙈 or is it still completely normal at this stage?

Thanks for your help and insight in advance xx

I had the same experience with my baby girl! Until like 28 weeks I had days where she would move so much and then not move very much for the next few days! Even now at 34 weeks she has days she moves more then others. If I ever worry I poke my belly or drink something cold and lay on my left side and she will usually move☺️ but also never be afraid to go get checked if you feel like something is wrong!

Thank you so much gives me some comfort I know everyone is different but when you hear family members talk of how their babies were so active from 18 weeks etc it can’t help but play on your mind.

Midwife has said heart beat is good all my levels are good but did also say if ever worried just call triage.

There so lovely and helpful as soon as you get past that 20 week marker x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
