May 2025 Babies 🇺🇸

New mom

Around five months does your belly get really hard in the middle? Is that normal because I was laying randomly and my stomach just started like pulsing and then it just got really firm the belly.

That could be Braxton Hicks or it also could be the baby turning. I experienced that when my baby turned. Either way it’s absolutely normal and if you are extremely concerned just give your doctor a call for reassurance.

Even I feel high pulse rate while laying down or after meals. I am 5 weeks too. My stomach feels hard too but mostly after lunches through the rest of the night

Sounds like Braxton hicks to me pretty normal at this stage your body is practicing for labor

Oh my 😭

Braxton hicks. I’ve been getting em since the beginning of my second trimester and I get them all the time! So annoying! I’ve been to the hospital for them twice but they assured me that it’s ok that I’m having them as much and as often as I am as they did an ultrasound on my cervix and said it’s not shortening or dilating so they said everything’s ok and that I can still work and do everything I normally do. I just find them annoying and honestly nerve wracking.

Measuring small

Hello,

I've just had my 25 week check up with midwife and she said I'm measuring small but she isn't worried as should be bigger at my next appt in 3 weeks

Has anyone had this before?

So I’m now officially 22 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and I’m still yet to feel him move. I had my 20 week scan not last week but the week before and everything seemed fine but have a repeat scan tomorrow due to not getting a proper measurement of his face. I’ve been told I have an anterior placenta too. Should I start getting worried yet ?? With my first baby my placenta was at the back and I felt him move around the 20 week mark. I’m just really paranoid as I have fertility issues as it is and have had miscarriages in the past and I’m classed as a high risk pregnancy with this one as I have strep B and I had gestational hypertension and pre eclampsia with my first baby so I’m on shared care with this pregnancy and I’m also on aspirin too which was prescribed by the hospital to take to prevent with this pregnancy.

Is everyone just done now and ready for baby or not there yet?

If you’ve had enough and ready how far along are you?

I’m 37 weeks and starting to get more uncomfortable but enjoying it generally not at the end of my tether yet but I fear it may be just around the corner according to everyone else? Haha

FTM
