I keep saying I feel very round to my other half, I haven't felt actual kicks but definitely wriggles

18 weeks also feel huge but I don’t think I have felt anything yet either 😕. This is my fist so I’m not really sure what it’s supposed to feel like.

This is my 3rd and i have an anterior placenta and iv just started to feel movement and big to currently 21 weeks and 3 days x

20 weeks huge with an anterior placenta. I think I’ve felt movement but could just be gas 🤣 midwife said the baby is happy and healthy it might just take a little more time.

I’m 21 weeks with my first and only started feeling more movement the past week or so. I also have an anterior placenta so that acts as a bit of a buffer

20 weeks today! I’ve not felt anything really so far and it’s been stressing me out so much 🥲. No idea about my placenta placement as I’ve not had my anatomy scan yet but I do carry all my weight on my belly.. so I’m wondering if that blocks some feeling? I was a size 12-14 before pregnancy but feel massive now and only just about fitting in size 18 😅

VBAC after 2 c sections

Hi everyone. My daughter is 13 months old and I have her via c section last August due to failure to progress. Everything else was fine apart from that. My son is 10 and I had a c section with him too. I want to start trying for another baby next year and would really love to hear if anyone had any positive stories about a vbac after 2 c sections x

Pain ?

I’m exactly 31 weeks with twins and since last night my tail bone and ribs and random cramps (I can’t find a pattern in them but I am in so much pain in general I am struggling to tell what’s caused by what) have been so painful. I thought I’d be able to sleep it off like I do most things but it’s remained.

Babies are moving around so I know they’re okay but I’m not sure if I need to get checked? I’m already dealing with a kidney blockage that can’t be fixed til I give birth so I’m not sure if it’s that or not

No scan date yet?

I’m 11+5 and I self refered at 6 weeks. My midwife appointment went well at 9 weeks but I still haven’t heard anything from the hospital 😬 should I get in touch with them? It’s a hospital I’ve not been to before so I don’t know how last minute they can be but it’s making me super anxious that I haven’t heard yet 🫣

Bleeding

I am 11+4 and woke up this morning with quite a bit of pink watery bleeding. I would not call this spotting as had quite a bit. Have some very mild cramping with it.
Currently sitting in the maternity hospital waiting to be seen and need some support

First birthday ideas

Our little ones are turning one soon and I’m not okay! 😭

I don’t know what to do for my son’s birthday. Naturally, he doesn’t have friends (except a cashier at Tesco 😅) and none of our friends have children.

I want to do something for his birthday but likewise he won’t remember it so I don’t really want to spend an arm and leg on it.

We are thinking of taking him to the aquarium (perks of being a winter baby - everything has to be indoors) and I’m going to make him a cake but what else can I do to make it special for him?

I wanted to decorate the lounge with balloons and streamers but I have double height ceilings so it’s impossible 😅

What can I do to make it special for him without throwing a party for a bunch of child- free adults 😅😅

Names

We really stuck between two names for our little girl. We had picked Jessie but now arent too sure. We both love Lillie but think its too close to a family members kid Millie. Which do you think?
