Advice please

So I'm 30 weeks pregnant, baby doesn't have a pattern for movement (frustrating), however i usually feel her throughout the day etc. Last day or so I've struggled to feel her move unless I lay down on my side, should I be concerned?

Tbh I usually feel mine only if I'm sitting down or lying down, but if you're ever unsure and this isn't normal for you please go and get checked, it's always the safest option 💖 baby's health always comes first 💖

Not necessarily anything to worry about but definitely something to get checked out. I've had a few days like this and baby has been fine but I'm glad I got checked

if you usually feel her movements throughout the day then that is a pattern, so if youre feeling her less than that then you need to get checked.

If you’re worried then that’s enough to give triage a call - they may ask you in for monitoring. I did that this afternoon but I hadn’t felt the baby in 24 hours. It was totally worth it to check everything is fine.

I'm glad everything went well with you ♥️ I've felt baby move today but they're just not as strong as usual and it's only when I'm laying down. If stood up I feel nothing.

Around the 30-32 weeks mark, I have a reduction/ change in movement. I had a day and a half where I barely felt baby move then felt more rolling movements rather than kicks and jabs.

I went in and found out he was engaged ie his head was facing downward hence the change in movement.

If you’re really concerned, get checked. It’s worth it for peace of mind.

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.

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

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 😂🥲

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃
