KICKS!

Nearly 24 weeks and this week baby has been kicking like mad 🤣🤣 kicks are pretty low but my other half felt him kick the other day which was just incredible! He seems to love music, being spoken directly to at belly level and raspberries being blown on my belly 🤣
Anyone else feel baby kicking loads? I can’t get over how magical it feels. Despite all the rubbish symptoms (breathless and feeling like a beached whale already) I just feel like a whole new person with him growing inside me 🥲🥲🥲

I have lots of movements too - still waiting for ones my partner can feel but hopefully won’t be too long 🤞🏼

my wife had to push in and really wait for the kicks but little man seems to be a kick-boxer in the making so that’ll be why she felt 🤣🤣 hopefully not too long for your partner to feel! ♥️♥️

My little girl kicked so hard before! I first felt movement about 2 weeks ago.. but tonight my partner finally felt her too. It’s the most magical feeling isn’t it 🥰 x

I'm 25 weeks today and my kicks are so strong!!! can properly see them and my boyfriend has seen them and felt them as well, have been feeling kicks since about 17 weeks!

Wow I was just about to post to ask about this! I’m 24 weeks and the kicks are so strong already. This is my second pregnancy and I definitely didn’t feel as many kicks or as strong as this last time. This baby is also pushing on my bladder to the point I feel bursting for a pee sometimes even If I’ve just been!! I didn’t get that first time either!!!

Same - partner felt at 23 weeks. Mostly it’s just me still but there is the occasional one that is a proper boot! We must all have high placentas 😂

I feel you on the bladder front… when we had the 20 weeks scan the sonographer was showing me where things were and it all made sense though - ours is pretty much with toes resting on my bladder 😂 It’s the only kind of really annoying symptom; except for the hip and leg pain at night but there isn’t much I can do about that I don’t think, I’ve had it since early and was told it’s unfortunate to get it early on but some people just do so just trying to ride it out!

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

Scan needed at 33 weeks

Hi ladies! I just had a midwife appointment (I am 33+5)..the midwife was different to my usual midwife. She's requested I have a scan within 72 hours as she said baby is measuring a little small, however, she did say that it's likely nothing to worry about and it's probably just her measuring me a bit different to my usual midwife. Has anyone else had this? Am a bit worried although babys heartbeat and movements are completely fine.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Hi

Hi guys so I’m 25 weeks today and I haven’t felt the baby kick at all yet at the scans she’s moving constantly that it’s hard to get the right measurements my first pregnancy was cryptic so I just want suggestions from one worried mother

Rolling milestone at 5 months - What’s typical ?

Good morning ladies,

My daughter will be 5 months old tomorrow, but there’s still no sign of her rolling. She does tummy time and loves lying on her mat, playing with hanging toys above her and to the sides, but she only lifts her legs and doesn’t seem interested in rolling or moving sideways yet.

Anyone else the same or have your babies already learnt how to roll yet ?

Thank you
