First Movement

I’m currently 15 weeks pregnant with my first child & felt little flutters for the first time yesterday 🥹 but still not 100% sure. They say you don’t feel them until 18-20 weeks with your first child. I’m not entirely sure how it’s meant to feel but I’m positive that was bubba’s first movement

Im in the exact same boat as you and it has me wondering if I was actually further along in my pregnancy than first thought?! As none of my friends who have kids seem to believe me and say it was wind 🤣 but I’m positive it was flutters!! X

aww 😂 everyone I’ve mentioned it to has agreed that it’s baby’s first movements so let’s hope that it is for our peace of mind 😂 x

I first felt flutters at around 15 weeks as well, I also wasn’t sure if I was just overthinking it. But I’m now 17 weeks and feel it a lot more x

That’s so reassuring 😅 I can’t wait to feel more movement x

It’s also really normal to feel them some days and not others at the moment as well 🤍 until a bit later on x

I’m 18 weeks tomorrow with second and think I felt one a few days ago but nothing since x

I thought the same I’m now nearly 16 and I feel them more often x

aww I can’t wait to feel more movement, it’s such a wonderful experience x

honestly it’s the best feeling ever

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
