I had my 40 week ultrasound yesterday (on my due date) and the doctor mentioned how active my baby is. Curious as to your experiences regarding if your baby was active in the womb, are they likely to be active when they’re newborn? 😊

Yep 🤣 i found the patterns they were active were same times they would ne awake when born xx

Oh god yeah! She's 6 months now and hasn't stopped 😂😂

She's 2 years old and can attest has been active since before birth 😆

My baby was active in the womb but isn't active outside of it

Yes I can confirm our almost 10 month old baby girl was so active in the womb and now she’s just as much if not even more active 😂

11 months—hasn’t stopped

Oh yes my daughter did not stop kicking me all day long and doing flips and she is 1 (March 5th) and she is a go go go baby! Hehe
My son was not active in my womb and he has his bursts of energy. He was also vaccine injured so he is not to his full potential and then add Lyme disease poor baby. He is only 7 almost 8 this June.

Almost 1 and super active in womb and doesn't stop on the outside.. But sleeps good!

My first born wasn't super active in the womb, was a super chilled newborn, really easy going. Then he realised he was an actual human (around 6 months) and was non stop! Was walking early, loved climbing, always on the go!

my baby was constantly moving in the womb and hasn’t stopped. she had the usual sleepy newborn phase but after that she’s been go go go. she loves to rough house, never wants to sit down and and even in her sleep she’s all over her crib lol

In my experience yes 😂

I had an active womb baby but placid AF when she was born. My second was the opposite 🥲

Yes. My baby was awake and even had hiccups at the same time when she was born as in the womb😂
But it all changed after the first month or so x

My girl has been on go since her 10 week ultrasound 🤦🏾♀️ she’s now 2 lol
I see lots of babies on social media already holding their head and mine only lifts it briefly for a few seconds on tummy time and for a second when holding her upright.
Also she’s not rolling yet.
Just turned 3 months .

Has anyone given gripe water to their 3 week old? My little boy appears to be struggling with trapped wind. He’s currently on aptamil and absolutely guzzles it like he’s never been fed but then I find he struggles with winding following a bottle and also is now only going for poos every two to three days which I think is also making him uncomfortable. TIA x

I found out a few weeks ago that my placenta is currently covering my cervix. I’m hopeful that this will move as baby grows but looking for what others experiences was in this position. Did your placenta move as baby grew? Did you find you was able to give birth naturally? Or did you have to have a c-section? Trying be as prepared as possible for the potential outcome. Ideally I don’t want a c-section personally as I’ll have a 15/16month when baby will be here but I’m understanding that it might have to happen.

I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep having pains in my back/side and it’s exactly like a cramp and it feels as if that part of my back seizes up and tightens and I can’t get rid of the pain, has anyone else had this and if so do you know how to get rid of it 😫 it’s been like this for over a week now, I can’t do anything without it getting triggered, I feel like it may be from the position baby girl is in but I feel so helpless I’m in pain literally everyday 🥲

I need help choosing a name for my second girl. I don’t want anything unusual but I want gently unique. Not top 10 names as they are so common. I don’t like names like river, romy etc as they are too out there for my liking.
I also don’t care about it “matching” my first.

Had my growth scan today (38+5 weeks) and baby girl is at a EFW of 8.7lbs 😅 The lady doing the ultrasound was amazed at how big she was asking if she’s previously been measuring big, asking if I have GD (which I don’t), said baby has a chubby belly so my placenta must be doing a really good job, that she’s very very low down, her legs are very very long and said “wow you must be feeling that, this baby is going to be a bruiser”.
Throughout my whole pregnancy she’s been measuring big and I’ve always taken her efw with a pinch of salt as they’re not 100% accurate and have been quite excited to give birth but after the sonographers comments today I just feel so nervous and anxious for labour. I’m in constant pain because of how low she is, my 🐱 has swollen and the lightning crotch is unbearable to walk/sit/lay down. Did anyone else’s baby measure big during their ultrasound appointments? If so, how was it in labour? Will they suggest a c section for me because of her weight? I want to go all natural as I have sciatica so don’t want an epidural incase it messes up my back more and I really want to push.
