Kicking

At what point did you start to feel baby kick from the outside?
I feel him kick quite a lot, he’s a little mover, but have only felt him with my hand on my tummy once a couple weeks ago and haven’t since.

I think I’m just so excited to see his movements and have my partner feel them too so just wanted a rough idea?

P.s. I’m currently 24+5

I’m going to say started feeling it on the odd occasion at around 25/26 weeks and then more frequently at 30 weeks but now I’m 36 I feel everything from the outside can even make out/see his little toes😭 feel his hiccups in the outside too! My partner never has his hands off my belly!

I was about 24-26w when I could see from the outside that my son was kicking me, but you could BARELY see it lol I think it will probably become even more frequent once you hit about 30w

I’ve been seeing and feeling baby kick from about 23/24 weeks, I’m currently 29 and see him proper push out. Definitely got stronger over time. My partner felt him for the first time around 25 weeks and he was so shocked 🤣 still don’t think he’s used to seeing my belly move though and it’s been a few weeks since he started noticing it🤣

I started feeling baby kicks at 17.5 weeks, and my husband was able to feel them that same week! Baby has been becoming more and more active throughout the past weeks 🥰

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

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

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??

C section compression socks

Hey ladies when did you ditch the compression socks and how mobile were you when you did? I’m so done with them! 6 weeks tomorrow since the op and im walking around the house doing jobs and baby care but not really out and about yet (the odd day I am) is it safe to ditch the socks?

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?

Leaving baby for date night

How old was your baby the first time you left them for a night alone with your partner or friends? How long did you leave them for and who did you leave them with?
