30 week movement

Hi guys! I think this is my second post in a week 🥴 so I noticed baby movement is more like wiggling or rolling etc but not necessarily strong kicking. I can feel her moving most of the time just not crazy kicking yet. I’m wondering if it’s the same for u guys at 30 weeks. Last US 28weeks baby was 3lb4oz but you know that’s not really accurate lol. Maybe not so much space?

I’m counting 10movements within two hrs like doc said and it works out. But yeah, the kicking ain’t the same anymore!

Same here!

Same thing here at 29 weeks. I was concerned initially because babe’s movements definitely feel different now. Still active but rolling/wiggling/stretching more than kicking for sure.

Mine has periods of time when she is more active than others. I don't always get 10 kicked within every 2 hour period, but I'm able to get one 2 hour period per day when i get the 10 moves. Hope that's ok. And she actually kicks, rolls, and hiccups

Same here. :) I asked my midwife about this and she said it was normal because they don’t have as much room. (31 weeks)

Wow thank you guys so much! It’s exactly how u said it. 😮‍💨 it’s baby alien time I guess

Omg same for me, it feels much weirder now and a bit more difficult to count but definitely more so just rolling around

I'm feeling the same way. I still feel him but it's less intense movements than before. It's had me concerned enough to call the doctor twice lol. I had an ultrasound 2 weeks ago at 28 weeks and he was 3.3 lbs so that's not too big to be running out of room yet. I don't want to wish these last 9 weeks away but my anxiety will be much better once he's here and healthy and I can quit worrying every day!

Lol, my baby is a fish now

baby is just looking for space! they are bigger than we think at this point (even at 3lbs). mine is also rolling/flipping around in there & it doesn’t always feel great but i go to the doctor every 4 weeks & he is completely healthy. i’ve also never counted kicks because i know my baby’s pattern & doctors say that is okay

My baby is like doing the worm, tumbling and grabbing anything and everything inside. But I def don’t feel kicks as much anymore

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!
