Reduced movements (22+5)

Is it okay to ring triage at 22 weeks as my midwife said movements at this stage may be irregular until 24 weeks which at that point I can call them. I've been having less movements for 2 days compared to the rest of last week where there was an increase. P.S I have an anterior placenta so could be the reason.

I was told not to be concerned by movements until 24 weeks and if you hadn't felt anything by then to contact midwife. I also have anterior and 21 plus 2 movement definitely not regular or any type of pattern. But you can always call for advice no harm in that

I rang them at 21+4. They just booked me in to have a quick listen of the heart beat to reassure me xxx

Yes. If youre ever concerned its better to ring than not to xx

If you are worried call them. They won’t mind and gives you peace of mind. I’m sure it’s fine… but surely better safe?

I've called and they've asked me to come in, yeah I think it's good just to be on the safe side

I rang at 19 weeks and they got me in for a check over. Always best to call and get you and baby checked out x

Yes call them. Reassurance will relax you and then you might feel some movement too. I find that if I am tense or stressed out I don't feel the baby much. But if I relax I do.

Yeah i got it checked last nifhta and everything is fine, baby was kicking so much this morning. And yeah @Bhavna I agree it could be because of feeling tense or stressed

Definitely ring. If you are ever worried of anything, ring! That’s what they’re there for and it’s better to be safe xx

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!

Invited to a chuckie cheese party but I don't have money and don't want to tell my daughter that's why we can't go. Does anyone know how their parties work?

I'm not sure how chuckie cheese parties are. If they give you money to play or not if you're in the party. And then I'm wondering if it's an actual birthday party or if they're just going to chuckie cheese. Some guy in my building told me a couple weeks ago that his son's birthday is today and he's thinking of doing chuckie cheese. They sent an invite but I feel so insecure not being able to afford anything. Like if they don't have food for example. Idk what to do.
