Movements

I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant and have an anterior placenta. I have been feeling moments but it still worries me. I had my midwife appointment Monday and everything was fine but I’m she mentioned if I don’t feel baby as much as normal to just call the hospital but I don’t know what is normal if that makes sense as it hasn’t really been much of a pattern until the last 2/3 days so do I go off that? Should I call the hospital if it’s not the same as them last few days?? 🙉 I’m going crazy lol!please someone help/ reassure me

Always better to ring and everything be fine than not ring and there be a problem. I promise the hospital don't mind if you ring them every single day for the rest of pregnancy. Xx

Movements are so hard! Especially at first! I had a front facing placenta and was told that i wouldnt feel movement which scared me but I felt my boy soooo much! If i had a quiet morning/eve of movement i just went and got checked! Its just not worth risking it. You know whats normal for you xxxzx

I’d say if you’re worried your best just to call up and go in for reassurance. I was there a lot and was told by the doctor they do expect to see women with an anterior placenta more. I was also told after 30 weeks because baby is so big it shouldn’t make too much difference, which makes it easier! Xx

I have an anterior placenta and I feel my little girl move a lot. But like you, it doesn’t currently feel like a pattern, but also.. I think I’m also not keeping track because I’m just not expecting movements with it being anterior. You’ll probably find that there was a pattern before you just never really clocked it haha.

I would give it a few more days to establish the pattern more than base it off that! But definitely make sure you’re never worried about bothering anyone if you have movement concerns, because the last thing you want to do is leave it too late. As your baby gets bigger, you’ll feel more and more anyway 😊

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??

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?

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!

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!
