She just looks like she’s moving her arms happily?

My lb does this a hell of a lot, I think it’s just part of development… they all have there own quirks 🥹

Aww looks like she’s excited. But you know your child best . There’s no harm in asking your health visitor. Least your mind would rest ❤️

She’s so so adorable 🥰

She's a cutie! I would say yes it's normal, looks like she's just showing her excitement with her arms. I'm no professional though xxx

My little girl has just learnt to do this, and now constantly flaps as it's a new skill. Definitely normal development. I'm calling it her flappy era 🕊

My lo has started hand flapping with 1 hand as she's going to sleep, any one else experienced anything similar

Normal and developmental, no need to worry

Completely normal, my lg does this when she’s excited. They are just learning how their bodies move. She’s absolutely beautiful btw ❤️

Mine does this constantly - I call her Mumble as she’s just like a penguin

My eldest did that a lot, it was her way of expelling energy as she was a late crawler. Now she is 6 yo - happy girl!

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.

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 😃
