I’m 19 weeks and 2 days and I have felt practically nothing, this is my second baby too.

I was a bit worried after a previous missed miscarriage and expecting to feel by now so had a private scan for reassurance. They said I have an anterior placenta this time around which is acting as a cushion between me and the baby so that I may feel movements later than last time.

It could be that you have an anterior placenta too. And the fact you’ve felt some flutters is amazing, the baby is still so small that flutters are probably all that can be felt at the moment 😊

Im sure I had that with my first so felt them later on in the pregnancy. I have my gender scan on 28th. Im feeling boy as its totally different to last one with my little girl. Can't wait to find out xx

I’m 17 4 days and felt kicks and movement since Friday ☺️

I’m 17+4 and beeen feeling it since 14 weeks (this is my second) not regular and not all the time. I am more aware of what is going on with my body now since pervious misscarage.
Don’t worry about kicks yet, it’s early, usually start to feel between week 18 and 24 x

Felt movement at 17 weeks with my first (posterior placenta) but still not feeling movement yet with my second at 19 weeks (anterior placenta) x

I’m 19 weeks and still only the occasional pop sensation. Second baby too. Had an internal scan yesterday and baby was moving non stop but didn’t feel any of it 🤣

I'm 19 + 1 now. I didn't feel anything. Its my second. I worry about bit and messaged my Midwife yesterday. I am aware I have an anterior placenta, though, could take some time

Anterior placenta for both of mine, currently 18+1 and feeling the odd movement when I’m on my side but didn’t feel real kicks until 22 weeks with my first x

I’m 20 weeks still no kicks as such just bubble flutters x

18+1 with my second and have been feeling proper little kicks for about 5 days now.

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?

20week scan!!

i had my 20week scan yesterday, everything looked okay on baby and we found out the gender!! it’s a girl 🩷🩷. but they said that my placenta is too close to my pelvis and they need to do extra scans to check on it? has anyone else been told this?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w
