Reduced Movement?

So I’m 38 weeks tomorrow… however I feel like I’m overthinking about him moving. I’m trying to poke my belly and move him and he’s either still or not responding and then when I’m not doing anything he moves. Don’t know if I’m freaking out or not but aghhh even right now writing this he’s moving and I can feel his hiccups but I just don’t know.

My boy was like that - had me worried but was just only active when I wanted to sleep lol or during my sleep so I’d really worried drink something super cold or hot to get a reaction - as moving won’t help it just rocks them to sleep more 😅

Try something really sugary, do something active and then have a lay down, still if nothing get checked, they won’t mind! X

I worried constantly! Talk to your midwife or the triage unit / get yourself checked out. It’s a lot but the peace of mind is worth it.

I gave birth at 38 weeks and he was totally silent three days before hand and I was freaked out but I never went to the hospital because I didn’t want them to be annoyed at me I ended up giving birth in the car I say go to the hospital even just to hear the heartbeat because it’s worth it

Please call triage if you’re concerned. You know your body best and if you feel something is wrong then trust yourself and don’t think you’re overthinking. Midwives always recommend to call in for a reason. It’s better to get checked out and everything be okay than wait too long and something is wrong

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
