Confused

Hi all, I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant with my anterior placenta baby and haven’t felt any movements since yesterday morning so this afternoon I took a trip to triage. They did a Doppler then a scan and baby is moving a lot but I cannot feel them? I’ve felt them for weeks now but the past 36 hours I haven’t felt a single movement/sensation . Is this normal?

Did they say baby’s position? I also have anterior and am 24 weeks. Some days I have to concentrate on movement in order to notice feel it! Some days they hurt they are so strong! If you still don’t feel happy then go back to get another check. Have you tried laying on left side and feel something? Xx

Im in the same situation x

20 weeks i felt loads, now 27 weeks barely feel a thing annoyingly.

Visited triage today, baby fine 🤦🏼‍♀️

Maybe they’re facing your spine or just lovely and cosy behind the placenta, booting that instead. Mine has been varied too, it’s hard isn’t it. X

Have you tried lying in different positions for 10-15 mins, you might catch a wriggle etc. Sometimes if I have been active/busy I feel less

The same thing has happened to me the last few days!! I’ve got a posterior placenta and the last month or so I’ve seen her big kicks coming out my belly! But now I think she’s just in a different position to usual, facing my spine so kicking that way rather than out to my tummy. I think I might have even felt some kicks towards my back, but certainly downwards! Maybe like others have said, some wiggling or shifting positions might move your baby a bit?

Early scan

I had a scan 2 weeks ago (thinking I was 6 weeks) because of a previous ectopic. Baby was in the right place but only measuring 5w4d, so no definitive heartbeat.
They booked me back in for a scan today (been such a hard 2 weeks wait! (Too many of those)) and baby has grown and has a strong heart beat!
Just wanted to post incase anyone else goes and is worried like I was, there is still hope that baby is growing 💗

18 week old not rolling belly to back

When do I bring this up to the health visitor.

Anxiety after scan

Hello everyone, I went for a scan yesterday and she was measuring a couple of days behind the date I’ve been told in the past. They said it can happen and I don’t have to worry, but I am worrying . What if she’s not growing well anymore?☹️ did it happen to any of you? X

Has anyone else had a 33 week preemie and how long were they in the nicu for?

My little boy was born on 3rd October at 33+2 weighing 5lbs5oz

Utter exhaustion - just me?

Is it just me or is anyone else utterly exhausted? I work 30 hours (4 days a week) and have twins who are almost 3. I have them on my own 1 day a week, 2 days per week with my partner then I work the other 4 and I am shattered. I barely keep on top of the housework and I'm running behind in basically everything. On my days off, if I don't have a nap then I stiggle to get through the day. Surely this isn't just me? How is everyone else managing to get through the day? When I see other mums going on days out with their children I genuinely don't understand how they have the energy to get through it.

I have regular b12 injections for deficiency and also take iron supplements for deficiency. I don't think they make much difference but dread to think how I'd be without them!

Baby’s movements

So I know my baby’s movements pretty well. However every now and then she has a day or a couple hours where she moves like crazy and really hard. Does anybody else’s baby do this?
