Movements With Second Baby

Im 17 weeks pregnant with my second baby, but I still haven’t felt any movement. I was expecting to feel it early with it being my second pregnancy, so was just wondering when other mums felt movement with their second+ pregnanices? I have a lot of anxiety this time round after this pregnancy started with twins but I lost one after everything looked to be going well, so desperate to feel some movement just for a bit of reassurance. Thanks in advance 🩷

Could you possibly have an anterior placenta? I had one with my first and didn't feel movements definitively until about 25 weeks. Obviously I know they say you will feel movements earlier with your second, but twins tend to grow smaller (I'm not sure if this stays consistent after losing one, and I am so sorry you have had this experience). Do you have the capacity to get a private scan ahead of your 20w?

Im in my second pregnancy 19 weeks tommorrow and only possibly started feeling some flutters xx

I’m 21 weeks with my second, and literally only just started feeling movement this weekend.
I do have an anterior placenta which was confirmed at my 20wk scan, I had the same with my daughter.
They said couldn’t confirm my placenta before then. X

Hi Lauren.
I’m sorry you have had such a sad start this pregnancy.
I’m 19 weeks, second pregnancy and still haven’t really felt any movement either. I thought I could feel a slight flutter today but I’m not sure.
I have no idea when I started to feel anything with my last pregnancy to compare.

Could you book a private scan for a bit of reassurance while you wait for your 20 week scan? X

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
