Movements 🥰

Right I swear this baby doesn’t actually stop moving throughout the WHOLE DAY. Does anyone else feel this much?

2nd pregnancy and can’t remember it being like this with my first 😂

Mine is not as active but seems to know when not to kick.
This pregnancy is definitely harder than my first thougb

Mine is active all day and all night it’s like he don’t understand what sleep is lol 😂 this is my 5th pregnancy

How far are you? I am 23 weeks now, and mine have just been sleeping all day. I've only felt the tiniest flutter only. I'm not too worried as he has had quiet days like this before and then start wriggling about at night instead 😂

Same! I don’t remember the first baby moving as much as this one 😮‍💨

My boy is so funny. He will move all day for two days then not do anything until all day til I go to bed and almost leave me in a panic then starts karate kicking me!

Mine doesn’t stop at all I get maybe a little break from about 7am-11am but that’s it. I’m 23 + 5 weeks and she started this about 3 weeks ago it’s so bizarre, lovely but bizarre 😂🙈

My twins have days where they take it in turn being none stop for 24 hours then every now and again they’ll be quiets go a day or two all day then soon as night hits they’re both awake doing flips 🤦🏼‍♀️ my belly feels like a washing machine when they’re both awake at same time

Yes :)

My first moved A LOT, it was easier to monitor when he didn't move instead of when he did. I had a posterior placenta and it was really predictable and easy to notice if he stopped moving as much. I'm 24 weeks into my second with an anterior placenta and this one seems to roll and jab my sides rather than nice little kicks, feels like she picks the most inconvenient times too like when I'm asleep and move slightly, when I'm on the toilet, when I'm in a meeting. I get kicks that feel like they're in my butt and some of them actually make me stop in my tracks. She will do this loads at some points for a good period and then completely stop, especially if someone touches my bump or at times I would expect her to move 🤷🏽‍♀️ I can't pick up patterns or consistency at all.

Yep mine moves a lot and my son did too day and night x

I'm exactly the same! So nice though 😍

So upset.

I went to my midwife appointment this morning for a sweep.
Baby has been ready this whole pregnancy. I am 39+3.

I had a scan 8 days ago, she was growing lovely and engaged.

They couldn't do the sweep because baby has decided to completely turn and go breech right at the last minute 😞

Now I have to sit and wait all weekend until I hear from the hospital with a plan.

Stats show the most likely option is now a c section due to the timing.

I am absolutely gutted this has happened 😞

Tightenings on Monitor

I’ve just been on monitor at assessment unit and they’ve asked if I’m having any tightenings and I said I could feel them but nothing major. Midwife said they are measuring higher than braxton hicks, has anyone else had this and it progressed?

Thanks!

Sex after c section…

I’m 3 weeks PP and feel good to go, like I’ve got an itch that needs scratching and I know my partner does too 😅
In the UK we’re advised to wait 6 weeks and he’s super considerate and wants to wait the full 6 weeks to ensure that I’m okay, has anyone else gone for it sooner than 6 weeks after a c section?

16 week scan - wrong gender

Did not expect the news today that I’m Infact having a little girl. Everyone says the cord is rare but it clearly isn’t. I’m total shock!

Need to exchange clothes. 🙈 hopefully it’s the same gender at our 20 weeks scan. Haha.

Outings with baby

I would love to do my outings with my baby, however every time I take him out I end up having to take him out the pram and walk with him in my arms lol. It therefore puts me off wanting to go out as much because he cries in the pushchair.

Maybe I should take him out more to get used to it? Any other advice on how I can get him to just chill in the pushchair lol.

Pregnant with autoimmune disease

Hi I’m very early pregnant with my first! 5 weeks! I have suchhhh mixed emotions I hope that’s normal.
I also suffer with inflammatory bowel disease ( ulcerative colitis) wondering if anyone else pregnant with similar condition or an autoimmune disease and how it’s affecting it all?
