Constant worry

I’m 23+2 with my second baby and still haven’t felt any movement of significance. A few flutters here and there but nothing I can be sure of. Absolutely NOTHING for the last couple of days.

I have a horrible feeling something isn’t right. I’ve messaged my midwife two days ago to tell her I’m worried and she hasn’t got back to me at all. I don’t want to be a pain and message her again, she’s ignored a message once before earlier in my pregnancy and it makes me feel awkward to pester her.

I can’t book a private scan because all of the availability they have for the next couple of days doesn’t work around my working hours and I don’t have child care for my toddler on the weekend (I know I could take him with me to a private scan but I don’t want him to be there if I have terrible news) the scan place is also an hours drive away and I don’t drive, my partner does.

I just feel so so worried and I have a feeling something isn’t right. What should I do?

Can you ask to see your midwife so she can do a heart beat check or pop down to the day unit at the hospital to have a scan?

I would ring the hospital / triage just to be safe 🫶🏻 always best to get checked over

Hi I'm 23+1 with my second baby and have been the same, last night is the first time I've felt any proper movement so I wouldn't worry just yet but just ring up your women's health unit if your worried and might be able to get a scan or ring your midwife base and see if they can listen in for the heartbeat

Thank you girls ❤️
I called the community midwives and they listened in and heard a heartbeat which was so reassuring xx

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

Girl names

We have an Elsie and we nickname her “Elsa” like queen elsa from frozen

If we have a girl my husband would love a spin on “anna” without actually calling her Anna lol

What names are similar to Anna / could be a play on words?

I’ve said Aria but I don’t know any others
