Movements

Hey, I’m 18 weeks on Tuesday with my third baby and iv not felt any movement at all yet. It’s starting to worry me as I thought I would have felt something by now especially with it being my third baby. Has anyone else experienced the movements taking this long?

When did you feel with your first? I’m pregnant with my second and my midwife told me 20 weeks again. Didn’t feel my first until 21 xx

I am 18 + 4 weeks and I’m yet to feel an actual movement even though it’s my first but I was told not to worry until 20-24 weeks xx

I can’t remember tbh🙈 maybe around 18/19 weeks I had a posterior placenta with him and then my second last year I had an anterior placenta but probably felt around the same time.. the midwife did say at my last appointment that she thinks iv got an anterior placenta again cause it took quite a while to find the heart beat, maybe I’m just being impatient 🫣 x

Yeah the thing is so much can affect it. Baby just may be in a position where you’re not getting the full thwack yet! Give it a week or two and you won’t believe you hadn’t felt anything. xx

My 3rd baby I felt around 16/17 and my partner could feel at around 18/19.
4th pregnancy, 16w tomorrow and I'm getting slight bubbles and flutters

@Jessica posterior xx I'm trying all sorts to make and feel movement, like a cold drink, sweet treats, a lovely warm relaxing bath, I've been laying so still and nothing much 😕 I've no symptoms or anything to suggest that baby isn't okay and we have a scan on Thu where I'll be 16+3 so hopefully get to see some movement 🤍

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!

Clogged ducts, eye gunk

Little Theo has been having really gunky eyes, we’ve taken him to the doctor and the a and e and they’ve said it’s most likely a clogged duct, anyone else’s baby have this and was there anything to do about it? I feel horrible constantly wiping his eye xx
