I was told not to count specifically. It’s more about identifying active times for your baby. Yours could be 10 or 40 kicks a day.. just start to become more aware from 25 weeks 😌

With an app, downloaded on Apple Store and recorded when they happen, is called kick counter

The recommendation is not to count kicks any more. Every baby is different and some will naturally be more active than others. If there is a change in what is normal for your baby then you should contact someone.
The Tommy's charity website has some really good info on this.

Definitely more about recognising patterns rather than counting kicks. Any deviations from your baby’s regular pattern always always ring the maternity unit for reassurance x

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
