Is it movement?!

I can’t tell if I’m going crazy BUT I’m 18+1 but with an anterior placenta and my first baby. I know you don’t feel movement til 20+ typically speaking esp with anterior BUT I’m so sure this after noon and once or twice last night I felt my little girl in some places. It felt like.. gosh I don’t even know how to describe it but deffo sensations of some sort!! Could it be?🥹🩷

I’m 18+2 and was certain that I felt something at 16 weeks but haven’t felt anything since. Had a scan last week and found out I’ve had an anterior placenta too…. Not really felt anything yet, but super excited for it to come. X

Im 18+6 with an anterior placenta and im sure ive gelt a few flutters at the bottom below my belly button. Kind of felt like a weird twitch

Avatar

this is so true! It’s cause they’re not daily which of course at the moment they might not be I can’t tell yet but it’s deffo emotional it’s amazing xx

Avatar

ahh I hope so! I havent had any tonight yet but I know this early it’s sporadic and not every day at certain times but can’t wait for them to become more and more 🥰

Avatar

ahh it’s typical isn’t it! I was sure I felt stuff before finding out it was anterior! But I’m also super excited. They’ll come xx

Avatar

yeah mine have been around there like near the lower ish bit of my belly button to the right and left I’m pretty sure! Hope it’s not me going crazy xx

Definitely could be! I had an anterior placenta with my first and felt her at 16/17w. I was told I likely wouldn't feel her til late.

I also have an anterior placenta, I'm 18 weeks tomorrow and I've been feeling flutters and bubbles since last week, only at my sides though, not the front. So definitely possible you're feeling them too. I feel them after a cold pepsi Max 😂 x

How strange I think I felt my first movements today! Was when I was in the bath and just felt like a little wriggle but was something I’ve never felt before 🥲🫶🏻

Avatar

ahh really?! I was told I probably wouldn’t even at 24w but I’m so convinced haha

Avatar

aww really! That’s amazing. Yeah I honestly am not sure I’m pretty sure I’ve felt some just to the right of my belly button but idk if that’s too much of a weird place when it’s anterior cause sometimes feels centred so it’s why I think I’m kidding myself but I’m sooo sure !! Xx

Avatar

yay! It’s so weird isn’t it cause you can never be 100% when you’ve not felt them before🤣🤣xx

Avatar

I was told the same. Definitely felt her around then because the feeling didn't stop, it was sporadic to begin with but always a similar feeling, until she got bigger then it was definitely a kick or a punch lol!
I've felt this one even earlier. I know the feeling now. It's like a swooshy, fluttery, bubbly feeling to begin with. Then turns to more of like a small tapping or poking from the inside.

Avatar

ahh really?! See I’m not sure I think I’ve felt them a few times here and there im not sure when it’s every day you feel them. & I’ve had near my belly button I think I just dunno if it’s her with my placenta being anterior but last nights felt more to the side! Haven’t felt anything tonight but I know it’s fine to not every day until later on. I’m gonna have to sit down all day 🤣xx

Sorry to jump on but do you ladies mind explaining how you know you’ve got an anterior placenta? How early did you find out? I’ve not felt any movement at all at 18 weeks so wondered if this may be the case for me xx

Avatar

I had a scan at 16 weeks to find out gender but also at 17 weeks by my consultant who confirmed it! It’s usually found at your anomaly scan unless you go for one in between x

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?
