20 weeks no movement

Hi All,

Been told my placenta is on the back so I should be feeling movements (this was at my 17 week scan) however I’m 20 weeks this week and have not felt a thing.

Is this normal?

I'd say so, I didn't know I was feeling movements until about 22 weeks and as long as you feel movement by 24w then it's not a cause for concern

I only started feeling them around 21-22 weeks. I was told at my 20 weeks scan that it is 50/50 at this point in terms of women feeling it vs not

Try not to stress. My daughter was my third and only one with a prosterior placenta. I still didn't feel her until 22 weeks. 25 and 21 with my first and second x

All depends on baby's position too x

It's more likely you don't notice. You could have a baby that moved when you move and it's a very faint feeling to begin with. Try sitting down and having cold water, or something sugary. That normally gets them moving but if you still can't feel anything it's still not a worry x

Almost 21 weeks here, I could feel what I would call flutters. Not very obvious. Just bought a fetal doppler and have no problem identifying baby heartbeat which makes me so happy. I also used it to check my own heartbeat and I can confirm that it really works 😆

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 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Almost 37 weeks + told to do another growth scan

I just had my second to last doctor’s appointment this morning, and my OB told me she wants me to do another growth scan because my belly is measuring small. She says it’s probably just because I’m a smaller woman, but they like to be safe. It’s hard to hear though, since I just did one a couple months ago.

I did this with my firstborn around this time of pregnancy, so I do think I just carry smaller (even though I don’t feel like I look “small” at all). My first baby was 6lbs 15oz when she was born at 41 weeks + 2 days. I’m having this baby at 39 weeks on April 7. I hope she’s still at least 6lbs.

Anyone have any stories similar to this?
