Am I crazy

I’m 18+2 into my first pregnancy and I’ve started feeling my baby move around recently. Mainly when I’m in certain positions lying down. Anyway, I’ve noticed my heart rate increase when he’s moving -is that normal???
It doesnt feel like the uptick you get when excited, but I honestly don’t know how to explain it.

I’m 36 weeks, my heart rate has been a lot faster since being pregnant and when I change positions in bed my heart will beat really fast and I’ll feel out of breath.

It’s normal for your heart to beat faster than usual because your body is working harder but if you’re worried ask your health provider about it

Hey Skylar, that’s very normal :)
I started feeling mine move around the 18 week mark too, and my heart rate will spike depending on position and number of other things - nothing to worry about. At ur next midwife appointment you could mention it if your concerned and they will tell you more about it, they may even check your bump for the baby’s heart beat 😊

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?

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

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

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!
