Movements

I’m 20 weeks & 3 days (2nd baby) started feeling movements about a week ago, last night and all of today I haven’t felt movement - unsure what to do

I had a scan in Thursday and everything was fine (apart from him being stubborn so I had to be booked in for a rescan in 2 weeks just so they could check 1 thing 😂🤦🏼‍♀️)

I think if you’re worried go to the hospital. It’s most probably fine but I would if it was me!

Thank you x

Do you know where your placenta is?

My baby is the same, and we have to go for a rescan also 🤣

Mine is posterior, been feeling him throughout the day for a week up until yesterday evening - I have been at work today though so there is a chance he’s been moving I’ve just been too busy to notice? I just get so anxious this time round 😂 x

Try and have something sugary to eat and then immediately lay in a quiet area if you can and just concentrate. It’s so easy to miss things if you’re busy and working.

But if still unsure get in touch with your local triage x

Hi Courtney, it happened the same with me last Wednesday, I’ve called the triage and they told me to go to the hospital to be checked. All was good, they were lovely and they told me that the placenta might have moved or the baby have found a new hidden place to hide because is too little. Please never take my story as your story and call them, that is what says in our pregnancy maternity book. They take this really serious! A lady told me, next time do not wait two days.

Thank you everyone panic over! Just had a kebab for dinner and I think he was happy with the choice 😂 I can feel him moving xx

Yay! Glad he’s moving again 🥰

It's really common not to have any pattern to the movements until later on, but if you ever have any concerns at all you can always contact your midwife / maternity unit.

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!

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.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Reduced movements

26 weeks and haven’t really felt little baby all day, she’s usually super active & I have a posterior placenta so I feel her all the time usually. I did feel her ever so briefly earlier right down into my pelvis. I was at maternity triage the other night with tummy cramps but everything was fine and so was baby. What should I do? I don’t want to feel like a nuisance?
