24 Weeks Reduced Baby Kicks?

Hi, I’m just turning 24 weeks and I feel like my baby isn’t kicking as much. They’re still moving, I feel them. But I’ve been under a lot of stress the past several weeks and am worried I’m causing my baby distress 😞 my doula said not to count kicks until 30 weeks. Is this normal? Some days baby is active other days it’s like nobody is home?

yeah i went to the er once recently and they said they arent concerned about daily fetal movement until 28-30ish weeks and that they wouldnt be able to do very much for me/my concerns if i came in before that timeframe for that

I'm 25 weeks and I still have quiet days, some days I feel him every couple hours and other days I feel him once for the whole day - OB says it's completely normal depending on baby's position at this point. I feel ya that it's super hard not to stress about it though!

I’m 25 weeks and same thing, some days/times I feel baby a ton and other times Jim very little or slight movements. It’s still pretty early for anything consistent, but if you need to put your mind at rest sometimes I’ll do something that ik baby reacts or moves to. Like if I hold my phone flashlight to belly he’ll normally roll around away from it or bump it.

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??

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!

Movements With Second Baby

Im 17 weeks pregnant with my second baby, but I still haven’t felt any movement. I was expecting to feel it early with it being my second pregnancy, so was just wondering when other mums felt movement with their second+ pregnanices? I have a lot of anxiety this time round after this pregnancy started with twins but I lost one after everything looked to be going well, so desperate to feel some movement just for a bit of reassurance. Thanks in advance 🩷
