First time mom here I need some help

I'm 15 weeks with my rainbow baby who will be a boy. I haven't felt any movement and I'm still having morning sickness. Are these normal things? When does the morning sickness stop? When will I feel him? Is there a specific side I should sleep on like left or right? Also, I'm a weed smoker is that okay? I've talked to my doctor she said nothing to worry about with weed but I guess I'm just wondering is there more to it than that? Please no judgement thank you!

Congratulations!! I suggest you join a cannamom group ❤️🌱 Cannabis is fine it helps a lot of moms during pregnancy. That's awesome your doctor told you it was, most won't because of today's society unfortunately. I had midwives and they understood it is a natural medicine that helps a lot of people. My sister could not eat or stop puking without it and it does not harm your baby in any way. There are better ways to consume cannabis as smoking anything will create carcinogens but it still won't harm baby. Movement being felt is different for everyone and every pregnancy and it's harder to tell what is movement when you haven't felt it before. Side sleeping is recommended especially the left side during pregnancy for the best circulation. Usually people feel better by the second trimester but everyone and every pregnancy is different. ❤️❤️

You may not feel the first movements for a few more weeks. Do you have an anterior or posterior placenta?

You can sleep on either until a certain point of your pregnancy and then need to sleep on your left side.

"Morning sickness" can happen at any time of the day and last your entire pregnancy. It's different for everyone.

It's best to check with your midwives or OB about all this, though.

Congratulations, by the way ❤️

Congratulations!! It really depends on your placenta location. If you have an anterior placenta, it often takes longer to feel movement. With my first, I didn’t feel baby until 22 weeks. Also morning sickness, while most common in the first trimester, can happen anytime!

You could start feeling around week 20 to 24 something like that… also depends where your placenta is located I know is stressful but try to relax now is okay not to feel the baby. For morning sickness maybe it could help to eat even small amounts a bit more often

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

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

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?

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!
