Avatar

I’ve been carrying head down since 23 weeks lol so I feel for you 🥲 I’m 32 weeks now.

Avatar

is he measuring big? I’m 33 weeks Saturday… and my baby is head down

Avatar

no he’s not big he’s small

Avatar

very rough lmao I’m so ready to have him 😭😅

Avatar

I’ve been carrying down on and off I have an acrobat so he likes to flip 😐😂 he’s weird so he doesn’t like to be sideways so he hasn’t really been in breech position much majority of my pregnancy he’s been head down but this is the most consistent he’s been 🫠

Avatar

Both my boys were head down from 20 weeks on and both large babies...and they both sat/sit super super low in my pelvis so all movements are essentially lightning crotch lol They will get here before we know it! Hang in there!

Avatar

oh boy lol, she’s been active but not like acrobatic active! She likes to rock herself back and forth every now and then. She mainly whacks herself off of my pelvis bones and that’s where the most pain comes from! My son was totally different. He would kick the crap out of my ribs. I mean he had a fiery hatefulness towards them lol, he almost broke four of them. Instead they were bruised so bad it took months to heal them.

Avatar

lightening Crotch is the WORST omg 😭😭 I was feeling around for a foot I thought he was about to fall out a few times 🤣🤣

Avatar

I spend my days and nights getting headbutt in the bladder and coochie and kicked in the ribs on occasion 🫠 he also managed to dislocate my right hip so there’s that 😑😭

Avatar

wow

Avatar

😫ouch! Dislocating a hip is no joke! He just be one active boy!!! My son is definitely active lol!

Avatar

I feel I’m on week 3 and it hurts so bad !!

Avatar

Avatar

Avatar

very active 🤣😂 he’s gonna give me a run for my money

Avatar

no fr how is standing up for you? I get sharp pains and it feels like he’s gonna fall out lmfao😭

Avatar

HELL. I can barely roll out of bed 😑 as soon as I stand up it’s like gravity hits me everything pulls downward I feel like I’m carrying a million pounds my back is bent so far back my boobs are enormous LMAO I waddle like a fat ass penguin I can barely support myself 😒😭 and I’m short so this is just a nightmare I feel like a watermelon between two hamburger buns propped up on two twigs for legs 😂😂

Avatar

I had lightening crotch the other day I swear to god I thought I was in labor I stripped off my clothes and started feeling for a foot or hair I thought I was a goner 😭😭😭😭😭

Avatar

the feelings of peeeee 😭😭😭😭 HATE IT and I literally pee like 27 times a day all night and the pelvic pain is unbearable I have one of those massage guns and I put it on the lowest setting and use it on my pelvic bones it relieves some of the pressure but it’s not 100% 🫠

How can you tell?

Avatar

that he’s head down ? I felt him flip I can always tell where he is

Avatar

Yeah, ok!
My baby is so active. Can’t really tell his position. I’m 30 weeks.

Avatar

my scans also confirm where I feel he’s located but you can tell when your baby is head down bc you’ll feel their head in your pelvis it’s painful lmao

Avatar

my baby is really active too I just know how to find his body parts once you figure that out it’s pretty easy to tell their location

Avatar

How far along?

Avatar

if you trace your stomach enough you’ll figure out what stuff is if it’s kind of round you probably have the stomach their butt or their head and if it’s kinda pointy it’s probably a hand foot elbow or shoulder
Right now he’s head down facing the left but he’s stretching a lot so he’s been bringing his knees up to his chest for the last 2 hours which hurts alot 🤣

Avatar

34 weeks

Avatar

I have sciatica and spd he dislocated my right hip now he’s on my left hip and I can barely walk 🥲 and his head is weighing heavily on my pelvis it’s so painful

Avatar

this is my first baby I guess he wanted to start off with a bang 🤣🤣 everything painful that you can imagine I’m sure I’ve experienced it
This has definitely taken its toll my body feels so destroyed I feel like an 80 year old woman some days I can’t walk I have to use a cane 🫠 and I leak a little too I’m in PT I haven’t been able to go as much bc it’s hard to even get out of bed some days let alone drive

Avatar

yes I’m 24 this is definitely NOT normal 😭😭😭 I feel like an old granny it’s depressing I don’t feel like myself at all Lmaoo I feel so unhealthy

Avatar

😂😂so true. Now that my sons in that toddler stage we’ve seen him bonk his head like an athlete. He’s always just fine and resumes playing afterwards lol. He’s hard headed like me

Avatar

Lmao! I’m very sure baby has been head down for me the entire time. Every single ultrasound I’ve had since the beginning she’s head down. So I feel u on all the pain

Avatar

😭😭 yes my mother is one of those people that claims pregnancy is a breeze and that I’m overreacting to everything 😒😂

Avatar

my baby has been head down for the majority of my pregnancy too the heavier he gets the more I feel it he started out upside down at 12 weeks and has just been rotating like a rotisserie chicken he doesn’t like being sideways he’s such a character 🤣🤣

Avatar

my daughter too it’s so weird. And painful. Especially when she plays with her face im like omg I can reach down and touch her! She’s goanna come right out of me very soon being so damn active and low

Avatar

OH MY GOD 😭😭😭 my mother is always like “this must be something having to do with these ‘new’ pregnancies” or “we didn’t have all these problems in my day this didn’t exist” “you must have something else we didn’t have any of that” like what the hell are you talking about has pregnancy somehow evolved in the last 20 years ???? 😐😭 even when I pee a lot she said she’s never heard of that LMAO like mama please wtf are you saying 😭

Avatar

my sons hands stay in his face too 🤣🤣 I never get good 3D pictures bc he’s always covering up I can only ever see half of it if that
I feel like he’s gonna fall out atp 😭 it’s 2am and he’s just up having a party 😒😂

Avatar

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!
