Should I worry about movement this early

18+1 and have felt baby every day for the last 6/7 days but today i've not felt him at all. I've laid down etc and give my belly a squish to get him have a wriggle but nothing

I do have an anterior placenta so suprised I'm even getting movements this early but it feels weird I haven't felt him today

are you positive you've felt the baby moving and not something else? that's definitely early if you also have an anterior placenta. maybe he was in a similar position for a few days that was really easy to feel and he's shifted out of it now? my midwife said that whenever we do start to feel the baby it will probably take a few weeks for the pattern of movements to become clear so maybe he's still figuring out his own pattern too. if you're sure you were feeling him move, maybe give it a few more days. but ultimately if it's going to worry you there is never any harm in calling the midwife or maternity team and taking their guidance! they would always rather you reach out if you're concerned

Movements

From what weeks do you get regular patterns ? I’m 20 + 3 now and I’ve started to feel little thumps but they’re not consistent

Water breaking

This might sound silly but does anyone know what it feels like to have your waters broken ? Does it feel like you’ve peed your self or a gush of water ? I’m just wanting to know what to expect when it does happen 😅 or does it feel different for everyone?

8 months no energy at all 🥲

I am officially eight months pregnant, and I have absolutely ZERO energy right now. 😩😂 Even the simplest tasks feel so difficult, and honestly, I feel really guilty sometimes because I can’t do all the things I used to do with my 3-year-old like I want to. 🥺💙

He wants to jump on the trampoline, throw the ball around, play basketball, run around and just do all the fun, physical things that toddlers love to do. 🏀🏃‍♂️ And while my husband has been SO helpful and has really stepped up, I still find myself wishing I could be the one doing those things with him. ❤️

I’ve heard so many people say that having a toddler and an infant is actually easier than being pregnant with a toddler, and I REALLY hope that’s true. 😂🤞 Because I’m normally a pretty active person, and right now I just don’t feel like myself at all.

Pregnancy is beautiful, but man… the last stretch is HARD. 😅 I’m ready to have this baby, get my energy back, and feel like myself again! 🥰🍼💙

Anyone else feeling that way too??? 🙃🥲

When was your last Ultrasound

Yall why in the world haven’t I had an ultrasound since 18 WEEKS ! I’m 33-34 weeks and I had to ask for one and they still was debating about it I think that’s ridiculous as hell in my opinion older doctors are so annoying they too deep into their job to actually care about moms it just seem like they do it for so long they don’t even care anymore
