I also was told at my 20 week appointment that I have an anterior placenta and I’ve felt her but there are days at a time where I don’t feel her as strongly as others so that worries me. Also my husband can’t feel her yet which is frustrating but hopefully he will in the 3rd trimester. I will be 26 weeks tomorrow.

I was told that I have anterior placenta as well but I’ve been feeling my baby move since 18 weeks I feel her kicking on my bottom part though

I'm 27w today.. I think I started feeling her at about 25w.. some days I feel her more, sometimes less. Usually before bed it's stronger.
It will come just won't probably be as strong as others have it I guess.. maybe in the end it will be nicer for us that way?

I'm 23 weeks, I was able to feel baby around 22 weeks. It's weird, but I can only really feel it once I'm lying down.

Have you had your 20 week anatomy scan yet? They had to have her unravel herself to get a good look and seeing her move on the screen + paying attention to what I felt at the same time is how I knew I was feeling her. Started out with a “I’m about to shit” feeling but now I feel kicks when I lay down

Either way yes totally normal mama, just check in with your doctor and as long as you’re getting a heartbeat at the apt you’re good to go.

I’m having twins one has a posterior placenta and the other has an anterior. I feel my posterior babe ALL THE TIME. But I still don’t know that I’m feeling my anterior babe at all. It scares me too! 😩 I’ll be 24 weeks Sunday!

Im 23 weeks, I started to feel her squirming mostly at around 21 weeks when I just lounged around, now I can feel her kick every now and then but it’s definitely normal to have a delay in feeling the baby with an anterior placenta. My friend was one of the lucky ones who started to feel him kick at 18 weeks 😭

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?

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

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

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!
