Are you feeling your baby move yet?

I have been really anxious about not feeling any baby kicks yet! I am 18 weeks today. My last ultrasound was at 11 weeks and nobody mentioned anything about the positioning of my placenta. This is also my second pregnancy, but I really can’t remember when I started to feel kicks with my first 😕

I’m 18w 5d and started feeling twinging sensations & don’t know if that’s the N.A. at kicking 🤧 I also had my last u/s at 12 weeks and nobody mentioned that to me either. I guess I gotta wait another week for the 20week u/s

I feel kicks but it’s really light .. if you’re not really paying attention can definitely not feel it

i am feeling more pinching/crampy sensations. no actual kicking yet. i am 18 weeks as well, dont worry momma! baby is okay. everyone’s pregnancy is different. ❤️ he will be kicking in no time!

I’m 19w6d and feel flutters or like a bubble popping in my belly. I went for my anatomy scan today and he was just a moving around but I barely felt it

I didnt feel anything last week (18) and this week i already feel him kicking, even my husband got to feel it. Just hang in there, some people only feel it at week 20, there is no written rule.

I just started feeling movement this week. Feels like flopping around or muscle twitches. I haven’t fully felt kicks that are enough to feel outside yet. I am 21 weeks and have an anterior placenta. My first baby I had the same kind of placenta and it was around 24 weeks I could feel something. You still got time! The anatomy scan really helped ease my anxiety a little so I just looked forward to that!

My first pregnancy I didn’t feel movement until close to 23 weeks and became so anxious about it. This is my second and I first felt movement at the end of 14 weeks!

I didn’t started feeling kicks until recently and I’m 19 weeks/almost 20 weeks with a posterior placenta. I’m a FTM.

I’ll be 19 weeks tomorrow and I’m do in your boat. Sometimes I think maybe MAYBE I feel a fluttering but it’s so light I feel like I’m imagining it or just going crazy because I want to feel something. I also have no idea where my placenta is, I haven’t had an ultrasound since 9 weeks 🥲. But these comments are making me feel better

Hey just jumping on this, when did you start feeling movement? This is my second & im 17 weeks tomorrow & haven’t felt anything yet 😫

Anyone else up feeding their Bebe?

As above. Trying so hard to keep my eyes open

Oh my God, oh my God I hope this is not true!!!! I’m kind of scared

I’ve been throwing up and taking a shit all night!!! I just hope that it’s not what I think it is

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
