Baby movements

Has anyone else noticed baby movements on the surface yet.im 21 weeks and with my first son I didn’t feel movements this early because of my placenta whereas this time round I’ve noticed them so much sooner. My placenta is at the back this time yay!!But my midwife seemed shocked that I’m seeing movements already.(I’m plus size 16, and idk if she was shocked because of that or if it’s just early to be seeing movements) 🩵

I felt my first proper kick tonight and I felt it with my hand on my stomach too! I'm also size 16 and this is my first baby. My placenta is on the left on the side of the uterus. At all my scans I've been to (private and nhs) the baby has been moving around lots so he's super active

I'm 21+5 and have seen a few kicks over the last week - been feeling since mid Jan but he's definitely got stronger recently.

I was told I had an anterior placenta but I think it's quite low at the front so I feel him mid stomach

Awww love it, I’ve got about 5 videos of my little boy kicking I was so excited when I saw his kicks as I didn’t see them till 25+ weeks with my second born, my 1st born was 18 years ago so I can’t remember them I do remember how my stomach would move left to right and I could literally see her hands and feet it was amazing xx

This is my first but I'm lucky to have a posterior placenta. If he kicks hard enough I can even see his kicks through my clothes

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

Growth Scan

I have a growth scan today because my fundal height measurement has stayed the same at 29cm from when I was 28+5 weeks. Now I'm 32+3. Has anyone else experienced this? It has made my growth chart go from just under 90th percentile to under 10th.

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!! 😭💟

Growth spurt?

At 32 weeks lg measured at 6th centile. Today, 34 weeks she measures 28th centile. I was so certain these things doesn't happen so late in pregnancy? Another scan at 36 weeks. Midwife said It could be undermeasure at 32 weeks, overmeasure today or *ust right and we will see where she plots in two weeks time. 🤷🏼‍♀️
