22 weeks movement

Hi all so I am 22 weeks today and I still can’t see baby moving from the outside, some days I think baby is active and I feel like faint kicks/popping sensation in my lower stomach and other times it’s not very often, some times I feel strong ones but most of the time it’s quite faint feelings is this normal for 22 weeks or should I be concerned? First time mummy

Hi I'm 21 weeks and have literally only started to feel popping sensations today. Do you know where your placenta is? Mines at the front of my belly so I've been told I'll not see moving from outside for a while.

Totally normal 😊 baby has so much room to move around they can hide so easily and cushion movements. Once they get bigger they have less room and movements become more noticeable from the outside 😊

they said my placenta is posterior which is behind which worries me :( xx

awww that’s good I was really panicking cause I know others who were roughly the same as me and it was full on kicks but that was their 3rd child so not sure if that makes a difference but as long as that’s normal that’s good xx

pretty sure behind is where it’s ment to be so I shouldn’t worry at all

I’m 21 weeks and I definitely cant see anything

I do feel things every day (usually morning and evening but never during the day)

So we’re not too dissimilar.

I wasn’t expecting to see anything till my third trimester 🤔

I’m 23+2 weeks and only started seeing baby from the outside at 23 weeks. Posterior placenta and it’s my first too. I think it’s normal, try not to compare yourself to others. Every pregnancy is so different 🥰

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

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 😂🥲
