Movement

So I'm currently 21 + 2 and I have an anterior placenta. I was just wondering when people felt any movements and when to keep track of movements. I felt flutters when I was 20 weeks for a day fews and then I havent felt anything since. I don't have a very large bump and some days just look like I've eatten a big meal. Why is it a constant worry of if they're ok !

With my first I didn't feel any movement until I was 24 weeks, I've had the odd movement with this pregnancy but nothing regular yet. I'm currently 20 weeks x

I didn't feel a thing until 27 weeks with my son, anterior placenta.
This time I also have an anterior placenta but started feeling movement's consistently at 14-16 weeks, then nothing for a month and thing I'm started to feel flutters again the last couple of days at 20 weeks x

I’m 19weeks on Wednesday with an anterior placenta and I get the odd movement here or there but again nothing consistent either. Can’t wait for the relief of a pattern so I can stop worrying!

I have felt what I think are kicks yesterday for the first time at 21+3. Anterior placenta too and the ‘kicks’ have been down-over or in my sides. It’s too early to expect a pattern or to worry about no pattern. My midwife said 28 weeks for that

made me feel so relieved I’m 17 weeks now and bubbles/flutters less known for last 3-4days. Since 14-16 weeks feeling a lot xx

glad it's reassured you. I had my 20 week scan yesterday and all is perfect despite still not really feeling much at all!

thanks I have my scan 7th Nov. So hopefully everything is good xx

I’m 20 weeks + 4 and feel him kick as well as partner but I didn’t expect to feel him until 24 weeks with it being my first and of anterior placenta. I’d give it some more time but if there’s still nothing by 24 weeks, maybe bring it up at your 24 week midwife appointment? X

I’m 21 weeks +2, I have anterior placenta too, felt the odd twinge here & there (my husband has felt it too 🫶🏼) Our Baby girl seems to be more active in the evening and at every scan she doesn’t stop moving xx

I’m 20+4 and am going through the exact same. I am trying to be patient and hoping soon I will be able to really feel my little boy move. I have felt random little ticks but not actual movement. I do have a Doppler that I use once a week that helps easy my worry

I'm 21+4 and I have an anterior placenta. I've felt my little girl live since about 15 weeks and she hasn't stopped. The movements are slowly getting bigger but I can definitely feel it

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
