Reduced movements

Has anyone else has reduced movements at 25 weeks? I have felt him move since 19 weeks every day, morning, day and night and now I don’t feel him either at all or like “bubbles popping” every other day. When I say I felt him move like he would be dragging his foot across my belly, kicking and punching me left and right I’d even feel him turn or his bum rest at the bottom of my belly. Now it’s absolutely nothing. I’ve been to the triage and seen my midwife last week Thursday and Friday and they told me there’s a heartbeat and that I shouldn’t worry but haven’t gave me a reason on why I can’t feel my baby anymore which doesn’t really stop any worrying 🤷🏼‍♀️
I’d love to hear someone that has went through something similar or to tell me that this is normal 😅

It could be to do with where your placenta is sitting? Some women don’t feel babies move due to this. I personally didn’t feel baby move until 24 weeks so had to wait a bit longer.

I’ve already been feeling baby move since I was 19 weeks and since last week he’s stopped, I have an anterior placenta but it doesn’t make sense how I could feel him before and now there’s nothing

Call again. They can't put you on the heartrate monitor yet but should listen in if you're not feeling anything x

My bubb stopped for about a week too, stressed me out so much, he started moving again once I went for a walk (which I like never do)

I’m going through the same thing now. She used to kick the hell out of me! Now all I feel is little flutters or a hard lump. I also went to ADAU and they said the same that the heartbeat fine. I don’t know what fo so now. Xx

For reduced movements or not feeling anything they should be taking you in daily for monitoring on the machine just to be on safe side and of course re-assure momma .
I'm sure all is fine but I had to do this in my last trimester daily due to Polyhydraminios (alot of water ) hence I didn't feel anything so being monitored daily was taking extra precaution and putting me at ease. All hospitals are different but request to go in daily if it makes you feel better xx

I experienced similar when I was pregnant and also went to MAU to get it checked. Everything was fine. I think as they’re growing there’s less space in the uterus and they can get a bit cramped which could affect the position they’re in and how the movements are. They won’t feel exactly the same as before but you’ll still feel something. Also they could be sleeping or waking at different times.

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 😂🥲

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!
