there’s nothing wrong with having an anterior placenta, it’s normal placement :)

I do too!
Doesn’t affect the baby though so don’t worry, just disheartening knowing might not feel much and all of my scans have been poor quality. Yours look much clearer. Hope your gender reveal goes well! x

I had that with my first and I felt movement from exactly 16 weeks and then plenty every day thereafter so it isn’t necessarily a bad thing ☺️ xx

I have an anterior placenta and a little bummed about it but hoping to feeling things soon I'm 15+5 today I started to feel something last night but unsure xx

I know it doesn’t cause any issues with baby which is good just nice hearing others have still been able to feel things still as I’ve heard a lot don’t feel until a lot later on x

Nothing wrong with an anterior placenta. Some say movements may be less, however all of the healthcare professionals I’ve spoken to have all said this is a myth and movements should be the same

I do too and the sonographer said it was curved

I had it with my son, it’s nothing to worry about :) you just might not feel kicks till much later, for me it was around 20 weeks x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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!!
