Reduce movement

Only just reached 24 weeks but haven’t felt baby move as much all day, when am I supposed to be worried or call in or reduced movements?

If you’ve had a particularly busy day you may not have noticed movement as much.
Try having a snack or drink and laying on your left side. I would wait about 45 mins- hour and then call in if still not feeling much movement. But it’s a completely personal choice.
Call in any time you have concerns about changes. The midwives can advise you.

Have you felt them since you posted this? Always worth getting checked x

If your still worried you can always call triage and let them know what's happening hun, but glad she's moving again xx

I had this last week - my girl is a big mover and last Thursday there was less. I called the midwife, and she said at this point they only expect 1 movement every 24hrs, but I can go in, and they'd use the doppler if it would give more reassurance. Sometimes there are just quieter days as she back in full force now 😂

Absolutely lost with due date 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️

So I’ve just had my 100th scan and the sonographer was really confused so read through every single one of my reports (there’s a lot , it took her 50 minutes!) and it’s now been decided (AGAIN!) that my due dates wrong 🤦🏼‍♀️
Has anyone had their due date changed 8 times in one pregnancy? I’ve had every date between the 17th-23rd at this point 🤦🏼‍♀️

Baby Movements

Hi, i’m nearly 27 weeks with a typically very active baby boy. Last 24 hours his movements have been significantly lower and hadn’t felt anything yesterday afternoon, evening or into the morning today. I had a routine midwife appointment and she sent me to triage for monitoring, the kept me on machine for just over an hour and said baby’s heartbeat is looking good but movements are still low. Has anyone else had any similar experience? Still feeling quite anxious about it all xo

6 month change

Is anyone else sad about the changes their babies will be facing soon!
I remember I couldn’t wait to have my space back with my first.
But I’m actually crying thinking about moving my second into a room on her own. Or even getting rid of the carry cot and the bouncers!
Maybe it’s because she’s our last or maybe we know this is when the circus starts but I don’t know I think it’s so sad 😢

Our little rainbow baby is here❤️✨

We welcomed Ember May to the world after 5 long years of waiting for her ❤️✨

4 past her due date

I had a sweep Saturday morning and started contractions at 5 mins apart at 7:30 on Sunday, quickly got to 3 mins apart, arrived at hospital for 10:30 at 7/8cm, started pushing at 15:15 and gave birth at 16:32, home by 10pm! It was an amazing positive magical experience and so grateful to have had such a good pregnancy and labor!


Epidural was AMAZING, highly recommend 😂

Should I worry?

My LO is 6 months old in 2 weeks (was due in Nov).

He is just starting to show signs he wants to roll back to front but has no interest in trying or wanting to sit up. He has great head control but is happy laid on his back and is fine with tummy time too.

I know the guidance for weaning is 6 months but I don’t think my little guy is ready for it.

I know babies move at their own pace but starting to hear people say “is he doing this yet” is starting to get to me and now I wonder if I should worry?
