20 weeks and feeling baby but she’s low

Hey, first time mum here. I’ve been feeling my baby girl since week 17, it’s such a lovely feeling however I’m week 20 now and she still feels super low. I just had my 20 week scan and everything was fine. She was super low at the scan as well so I know it’s not a cause for concern. Sometimes I feel her higher up, here and there. Just want to know if anyone else’s baby’s feel low. And if you’ve had a baby before, when do the movements start feeling higher up all the time?

Hey, 21 weeks here my baby has been kicking for about two weeks with the strongest jab last night, it’s my second baby and she’s also low, a lot of pressure low and the kicks are all on my left lower side of my tummy, nothing higher than my belly button! Still lots of room to grow up yet x

Thanks for your reply and your right about there still being lots of room to grow up ☺️

3rd pregnancy and I’m 24 weeks tomorrow. I still feel a lot of movements really low down aswell as feeling movements further up too. I started feeling movements from 17-18 weeks. Ull probs feel movement low down for a while aswell as more further up as weeks go on. Depends where their legs and arms are x

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Welll

So who’s pregnant again with me 😂

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
