Movements

Hiya

I’m 29 weeks and the last week I’ve literally felt no movements from twin 2.. I had a scan on Monday and everything was fine he’s just measuring smaller and he’s breech so I should expect him to kick low down! I was at triage last week and they wasn’t thst happy with twin 2 on the machine so sent me for a growth scan but I already had one coming up anyway!
Could it be possible he’s kicking inwards or the same area as twin 1? Twin 1 is cephalic so I wouldn’t of thought they would be.

Anyone else having this problem?

My friend had a single baby who was measuring small, and she stopped feeling movements, but what they had told her was that baby was facing her spine, so that's why she was having reduced movements.

Where abouts is their placenta ?

Twin 2's placenta was at the front, so if they kicked the front of my stomach I could see it, but not feel it - unless I placed my hand on that part of my belly - could this be a possibility ?

I was always told, when in doubt, get checked out, you never know ! Or try all the different ways of making them jiggle like changing position, have something sugary, have a nice cold drink etc.

Hope this helps !

thank you

Both placentas are at the front but I always feel twin 1 more clearly, I’ve been putting it off all week about ringing triage since I had a leakage in the night (don’t know what the leakage was)

Both placentas were in the front for me too, and a lot of the time, she was sprawled out so much that I confused Baby Bs movements with her brothers all the time. I thought he was kicking like crazy but turns out, all 4 feet were in my ribs not just his 🥴 it was always so much harder to get her moving I would always freak out! But then she'd get hiccups every time I ate something so I knew she was good 🤣 never be afraid to go in to L&D or call your OB to get another quick scan if you need to calm your nerves

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??

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

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!
