Flurries of movement?

Hello so I’m unsure if this is normal. I’m 21 weeks and my baby is measuring BIG and I’ve been having little thumps since 18 weeks. Since last week I’ve been getting what feels like she is just kicking me multiple times in a row then she stops, and lately she’s been kicking so hard I’m starting to see it on the outside of my tummy. During all of my appointments for my ultrasounds the doctors note that she’s very active. Is this normal? It also feels like she is always pressing on my bladder so I always feel like I have to pee even when I don’t. I’m a first time mom so idk if this is the norm.

100% normal! It's great to have a lot of movement over less! Your bladder will sadly get worse as she gets bigger 🫣

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?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
