When did you see your baby foot print

Currently 25 weeks pregnant and I feel my little boy constantly moving in my belly. I love to feel him, but every-time I try to record it it’s not noticeable on camera 😢😭 I’m curious to know how many weeks were you when you were able to see your babys foot print coming out of your belly ?

It depends on where the placenta is. For my first with an anterior placenta, I rarely ever saw his kicks on the outside. This time with my girl, I see her bum and her heels a lot because my placenta is at the top. It started around 30ish weeks.

good to know ! I heard my placenta is in the way so I’m guessing anterior ? But does that ever change like can it move ?

It depends on your pregnancy tbh. I was never able to see anything like that with my daughter, it was just movements and kicks but no visible limbs if that makes sense

I saw my sons imprints from kicking me at about 21 weeks

it may move a little bit but probably not enough to see a like a full outline of a foot.

I never did 🤷🏼‍♀️.
I’d see if he stuck his bum out or something big like that & a little bump if he kicked - but I never saw anything as detailed as a foot print

I never saw my babies footprint as my placenta was at the front and it’s the same with this pregnancy! I feel so robbed:(

i had an anterior placenta with my first and i could feel it all from like 16 weeks, but you could barely see it or feel it from the outside til almost 32 weeks. just bc the placenta was in the way.
but with my son it was posterior and it was sooooo uncomfortable. feeling his little elbows and toes dig into me lol

C-section mums

Since April is Cesarean Section Awareness Month, I feel like I just need to get this off of my chest.

I had an emergency c-section 5 months ago and I'm still in pain. My stitches look dry and healing okay from the outside but internally I feel like something is ripping. I wouldn't say it's painful but it sure feels uncomfortable especially when I'm moving or walking or getting up from bed or the couch.

I'm proud of other mums who had a good recovery. I admire your strength. Some would even say they feel normal after 6-8 weeks. I wonder why I don't. Is it because as a SAHM I don't really get a rest? Because I have to show up 24/7 even if I could barely stand from backpain or my stitches sting.

I know comparison is the thief of joy but I just can't help feeling sorry for myself for going through this especially during this time that I'm going through ppd and health anxiety. What if my stitches are actually ripping internally? But I just had my gp appointment and my stitches look okay and to just take paracetamol for the pain, that as long as I don't have any fever or bleeding I'm okay. I want to have an ultrasound scan just for my peace of mind but they don't simply give you that, do they? Anyone else felt the same but nothing's concerning? It's only that we have a slow recovery. I hope this is the case.

What to do the night before a c-section

My planned c-section is in 6 days! I am so nervous. I’ve had an emergency c-section with my first baby, so there is some trauma associated with giving birth for me. I’m excited to meet my baby more than anything though.

What should I do the night before my c-section? I know you are not supposed to eat for 8 hours prior. What kind of meal should I eat? I was thinking tofu rice bowl with avocado.

I’m going to do a full shower the night before and then a body rinse the morning of. Did you do your hair? I read no hair products? What day should I shave this coming week? I read you shouldn’t do it the night before.

I have an OB apt on Friday, so I know I can ask these things then, but I’m just feeling anxious to plan.

Feeling a lot of pressure/ baby dropping.

So my due date is tomorrow 🙈 Just wanted to check if anyone else felt a lot of pressure/ baby dropping/ maybe even belly getting tight.
I’m not in pain or anything just feeling it and baby is moving a lot more than usual.

Is this normal, this is my fist baby 👶

39 weeks fed up now

Hi I think I just need someone to talk to, feel extremely fed up now waiting and uncomfortable. My mood and mental health has been good throughout my pregnancy but these past 2 weeks have been anxious/hormonal and upset.
