Baby movement or not?
I'm a FTM, just over 16 weeks. I've been feeling a weird feeling most of the day, it's like a slight muscle cramp, a very mild period pain but could also be a flutter. It's hard to explain as I've never felt it before.
I can't tell if it's baby moving or something to be concerned about. It's come and gone most of the day but since going for a walk is most consistent..
Anyone any ideas please?

Mild period pain/cramping is really normal sensation as everything grows and gets bigger.
Someone told me that the baby movements feel like a wriggling worm and it was the most accuracy description I could have gotten! I think I was around 19 weeks when I felt them with my first pregnancy.
With this one, I started feeling them around 14 weeks but only because I recognised the sensation
I’d agree lovely, probably your ligaments stretching and adjusting. I think you’ll know when you feel baby moving. To me it feels like flutters/bubbles. Like gas, but in the wrong place in your abdomen 😂

18 week tiredness
Is anyone still feeling shattered? I’m 18 weeks now and although I have a bit more energy I’m just so tired.
Iron levels are fine. I’ve been doing some swimming to try and move my body a bit more but I still feel like I need a daily nap. Anyone else feeling the same?

20 week scan
I had my 20 week scan last Friday, everything was fine but she said that little girl had a big stomach and could potentially mean GD, the chart told her she was just under the worrying measurement to like get a early test for it but I’m still pure panicking about it that I’ve done something wrong to cause this. I have another scan on Thursday due to her being cheeky and not allowing them to get spine measurements so thinking I should ask for a second look? Anyone else been told this before and it been okay? Maybe she’s just a chunk lol x

20 Week Scan
Had my 20 week Scan today. They couldn’t get a proper view of baby’s heart so asked us to return next week, everything else looked fine. And I also have a low lying placenta. Anyone else have this?

6 weeks post partum check up
I'm a first time mum and got my 6 week check next week, its just for me as my baby is having hers at 8 weeks when she has her jabs. What should I expect? What will they ask and what do they check?
