Baby moves a lot at 36 weeks

Hi ladies, I notice today as I’m approaching 36 weeks my baby has been moving quite often in the womb since last night. How are your babies at 36 weeks?

Yes! In 37 weeks tomorrow and baby has been super active more than usual and tons more pain !

I just called labor and delivery and they said it’s fine…lot of movements is good. I was worried baby is in distressed. Dr. Google is wild

been there!

Same here. Maybe moved a bit down so we feel it more...But dr said all good

Baby moves a lot but not as powerfully. My med team says he doesn’t have as much room as previous weeks but as long as I can count kicks it’s fine. They said if there’s still a noticeable difference to go to triage.

35+3 and feel like baby has been moving constantly! Now that he’s bigger it’s like my baby whole belly is shifting around

Mine was pretty active as well this week, mostly rolls and stretches now rather than fast kicks and punches, just turned 36 weeks today!

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.
