I’m 22+4 no movement either had an appointment yesterday she said by 26 weeks I should feel something it’s really hard to wait!

If you don't feel anything before 23 weeks definitely ring and get a little check up from your midwife. I'm 22+3 with an anterior placenta and I've been feeling movements since 18 Weeks. But my sister felt nothing with my nephew until around 23+4 so everyone is different.

I felt mine at 18 both times with anterior and the midwife kept telling me there was no way, I was mistaken and she wouldn’t expect me to feel anything until 26 weeks 🙄 so there you go 😂😅

Apparently my placement is in the right place but i still don't feel it, also 22 weeks

I also have an anterior placenta, started to feel her move. But I've been told sometimes you won't feel anything till like 25 weeks.

Completely normal with anteria but I totally appreciate the anxiety that comes with.
My first pregnancy I had posterior, I felt her move from very early on and really strong from around 17 weeks onwards
This is my 2nd pregnancy now and I have anterior, I'm 19 weeks and feel nothing. I had bleeding at the weekend due to antibiotic thrush 🙄 following a kidney infection (the joys) so luckily got checked and could hear his little heartbeat just fine.
We just have to be patient I guess :( if in doubt or worried always get checked though! X

It's completely normal. I'm 23 weeks and I've not felt a single thing don't worry x

I was 24/25 weeks before I first felt movement so don’t panic. It’s completely normal. 😊

it’s because their placenta at front it cushions their movements

I'm 35 weeks with AP and still have difficulty some days, I also didn't feel her till late, and this is my third pregnancy.

I am 21 weeks 4 days and can feel a ton as well as see my stomach move when she kicks. Anterior placenta as well. I’m sure baby will make themself known soon momma! Hang in there!

Avatar

everyone is different and placement definitely matters
Don’t think it’s a concern until 24 weeks
As long as the doctor says baby is healthy right now you should be good ❤️

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!
