39 weeks pregnant and some kicks have felt weird like a full belly fluttery shake almost, anyone else experience this?

This is my third and I don’t remember feeling movement like this with my first two. The best way I can describe it is like the fast flapping of wings in my belly almost lol
I have an appointment on Monday that I plan on asking about it but I just wanted to know if anyone else had any movement like this ever?

I’ll be 30 weeks tomorrow, also with my 3rd.

I’ve been feeling this for a few weeks now. I also felt it with my other 2.

I've had this with my first! I think it can be their startle reflex

I have epilepsy and I was soooo scared she was having seizures in there. The dr said it was fine and she’s perfectly healthy now that she’s here. Ask ur doctor just to be safe but for me and my baby she said it was normal (:

My son was startled a few times and it felt exactly like this. Mostly when I coughed or sneezed so I could tell it probably just scared him

Flutters at this stage are likely to be hiccups (literally not laterally).

I’m 28 weeks and it feels like there is a donkey in my belly kicking my lungs

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!
