Baby Movement

Anyone else experienced going a few hours with no movement? I’ll be 25 weeks tomorrow and haven’t felt her move since about 3:00/4:00pm today. I know my placenta is posterior so I feel her often. I’m just worried. I tried poking around at my stomach and eating chocolate but she hasn’t moved.

Totally normal as long as you feel fetal movement baby should be fine but if you ever feel like baby hasn’t moved in 24hrs or not as often as usual definitely contact your doctor. Babies sleep in the womb and aren’t always active especially when mom is up and moving because it rocks them to sleep sometimes.

I have bought Doppler exactly for that reason as a first time anxious mom 🤭

My first baby only moved once I was laying down in bed st night , other then that he was pretty much still and sleep all day.

Mine mostly moves when I'm in the car or sitting down in a way that kind of squishes my belly 😂

Yes, now if it’s an excessive amount like 8hrs+ I would definitely tell your doctor especially if that’s unusual for you. With my first I barely felt movement and with my second she moves a lot more but still she’ll go hours without movement.

I would ask your OB. I’m 24 weeks and mines told me I should be feeling movement every hour or so.

Depending on where your placenta is to, you might not always feel them. I have a posterior placenta and they did warn me that I might not fully feel movement all the time and it’ll be at a later time too.

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 ??

cheating dream

i need advice but PLS DON'T JUDGE!!!
last night i had a dream, i always used to dream my partner cheating on me with my friends, or being super mean, but since we had our baby those dreams disappeared. for context, we haven't been able to have sex yet, I'm 12 weeks pp, and my pelvic floor is so tense, and it's awful.
last night i had a VERY weird dream, it was so realistic, and different from others, he handed me his phone, and ask me to help him handle this girl, like annoyed? in the chat this girl was super obsessive, and messaged him a lot before he replied. she asked him to sing a song to her, and he sent her a voice message singing it, and other voice messages i couldn't listen in the dream. i wrote her to stop, and she was angry, telling me he started it. then i confronted him about this (still in the dream) and he changed his attitude, he seemed so guilty and said to me he had deleted some messages. i don't remember much else, but i woke up with the URGE of checking his insta messages. we've been together for 5 years, and I've never checked his phone, and neither has he (that i know if, at least) and contained myself, but I'm still very much concerned about it. it felt like an epiphany, a revelation or smth like that. I know people might think I'm overreacting but i can't get it out of my head, it was so specific.
i though about asking him to show me, but i know he'll be bothered that i don't trust him (i would be too in his place), but if he's cheating he would say that to make me feel bad. also i thought about checking his phone in his sleep, and then ask him to see his reaction, but feel so bad, i wouldn't like if he went through my phone without asking, even tho I have nothing to hide.
please, be kind!!

Princess birthday party
