Not experienced this myself but I have read that movements can be lighter towards the end as baby has less room to move around. If you're worried though give triage a call xx

Go get checked as with my first it wasn't much of a difference in movement feeling and I'm still feeling strong movements now with this one. Always better to get checked and know for sure everything is okay 😊

The feeling of the movements will change but the frequency shouldn’t 😊 I’m 38 weeks and over the last 2 weeks I’ve felt a change because there’s less room in there to move around. Its more like little brushes/ kicks than big movements now

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?
