Love, you’re not wasting time, and the staff definitely won’t be bored of you ❤️ It’s their job to look after mums and babies - these are some of the kindest people you will ever meet ❤️ All will be well, but follow your mama instinct and either call or just go in xx

I would definitely call if I'd experienced what you've described. Better to be checked and it be nothing, than not and it be something. Sending hugs. X

I would definitely call, when i was pregnant i used to get scared of ringing the hospital up for reduced movements incase i went in n everything was fine. I was constantly overthinking what if the hospital think im wasting time but i went in once for reduced movements and every midwife will say it is better to be safe than sorry. 9/10 everything will be fine n it probably is because babys got less room to move or in a different position to normal so not feeling them move as much but i always think its best off getting checked xx

Always call about decreased movements come the first sign of them. As soon as you think “I’ve not felt my baba move” stay vigilant about the movements and if there is any decrease in activity make the call right away. You’re never wasting their time

Don’t worry about what they will think! When I was pregnant I went in for reduced movements and the midwife said she didn’t want to see me in there again for reduced movements because my baby was fidgeting loads when they put me on the monitor. I was induced the next day as he was in distress. Do *not* leave it on the basis you’re worried about what they think. I probably hacked them all off and I don’t care at all, because my beautiful boy was born at 36 weeks needing support in NICU, and he is now a healthy, thriving 1 year old. ❤️

waste their time. Who flipping cares? You're baby is way more important than their time rn

Always check. Never worth the risk

You should definitely call and get checked lovely. I had a similar experience during my pregnancy where I had been in a couple of times with reduced movements. Everything seemed ok until I was 40+3 and ended up having to have an emergency c-section as they had to get the little guy out asap. Always put you and baby first and do not worry about anything else x

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.
