Change in movement

Hello ladies. I'm 29weeks today and for a couple of days i felt a change in my baby's movements. There are hardly any kicks just some twists and turns. Apart from the 1am movements, there is no actual schedule when she is active and i read there should be some schedule? I hardly feel her most the time. What's your experience? Trying not to freak out, i have another ultrasound on monday but that feels like forever!

Hi :) I’m 29 weeks today too. Sometimes I have quiet days where baby doesn’t move much. I often find that if he has a very active day- he can be quiet the next. I have been sent in before due to no movements but it turned out baby had turned to my back so I couldn’t feel the kicks even though they were happening. I’ve been told that some babies don’t have any routine to their kicks but if you are a little unsure or worried, I’d contact triage. They will be able to put your mind at ease :) I’m sure there’s nothing to worry about x

I’ve had this too! I’m 29+3 weeks and baby likes to move around more rather than kick, and when she does kick/hit it’s very low down xx

If you’re ever in doubt don’t wait for a next midwife or ultrasound appt just go and get checked by triage- this is the most crucial time to be on top of movements from now until birth. I think it sounds like what you’re experiencing is normal because baby runs out of room so style of movements can change but I would always get an experts opinion in doubt and they should never make you feel silly for going in

31 weeks and I’ve been in 4x now because I had this too! He has days where he seems to move into a weird position that his kicks aren’t as prominent and on one occasion thought while I was on way to triage it was an amazing time to start booting lol always get checked out if you feel worried, I always try talk myself out of it but in reality it’s better to leave with them making us out to be anxious than any other way❤️ xx

High risk

I’m considered high risk because I was fully dilated when I had an emergency C-section with my first and there’s risks I could go into pre term labour so I have cervical length scans every 2 weeks between 16-22/24 and I’m aloud to try for a vbac if I go into spontaneous labour by 40 weeks but I’ll have a planned C-section booked for week 40 ( which I’m really hoping doesn’t happen )Just wondering if anyone else had similar experiences I’m just very overwhelmed and hoping people have maybe had a good successful full term pregnancy & birth despite what IVE previously mentioned x

Which induction method??

Im at the hospital now for induction and dont know which method to go for.
I initially didnt want the balloon because the sweeps really hurt me and I feel it will be most uncomfortable but seems like the highest success rate? And no hormones.

What has everyone else done and recommend?

Name crisis

I was so decided on a name, now I'm having second thoughts. It's not a standard name and his middle name is set after my Dad, John. He's very traditional and I know he'll hate the first name I chose! Open to any ideas! I would love if the initials sounded right too! Again, middle name "John". Thank you ladies!! 😭💟

Nausea

I’m 6weeks 4days and my nausea is HORRIBLE ! I wake up immediately feeling like I’m about to throw up to the point I have to sit, breath in extra big breaths, I might feel light headed or like I’m going to pass out. This will literally last ALL DAY & has been for the past 5/6 days now. When I try to eat something I take very small bites as it feels like I’m going to throw up what I just put down. My mom told me about apple juice which has been helping but my goodness I cannot take it 😭 what has helped you guys who deal with bad nausea ?

Anyone had a growth scan around these dates?

I’ve got scans;
26+5
27+3
28+5

And just wondering what everyone’s babies weighed on/around these dates ? (And what centiles)


My oldest has a scan at 27+6 so I know roughly with that but interested to know how much growth tends to happen in such a short period ?
