Is my baby too active

I’m 20 weeks this week and I also have an anterior placenta. I was told I wouldn’t feel anything till later. But I feel like my baby is already very active. I feel multiple kicks within a minute sometimes and they don’t feel like flutters. Is something wrong with my baby. Should I be worried ?

I started feeling kicks somewhat around that time I believe . Also have an anterior placenta

Second time mum here, 21 weeks pregnant and my baby is also moving around loads even though midwife and sonographer both said it's unlikely I'd feel anything until later on. I don't think it's anything to worry about, probably just the position of the baby etc and normally it's no movement that should be a worry if you're used to feeling regular movement, but as always if you're worried it's worth contacting midwives.

Same as you 21 weeks as of today but right when I hit 20 weeks and have an anterior placenta my little boy is going crazy in there he kicks so much it’s totally normal and a good thing you want an active baby then a baby that doesn’t kick that’s when you should be worried

C-section time off

If I have a c-section can I take sick leave then maternity or can I only take maternity?

No reassurance from my care team

Hi gals, I’m 34 weeks today and a ftm feeling like I have no reassurance from my care team at all… I went to see my midwife today and mind you the last bit of reassurance I had was at 19 weeks with an anatomy scan, my midwife had informed me more than once I won’t be sent for another scan unless I pay for a private one on my own

At 31 weeks my fundal height was measuring 32cm today I’m measuring 33cm that’s 1 cm difference between 3 weeks this would mean he’s now measuring under… why am I the only one concerned about this? I don’t know if he’s big or small anything haven’t seen him on ultrasound for weeks I’ve had no reassurance that’s he’s growing okay and that my body is doing the right thing for him I was also informed I’m high risk for pre eclampsia I’m on a low dose of aspirin until 36 weeks every appointment they don’t test my urine for protein to check and I go into labour n delivery with concerns and symptoms of pre eclampsia they shut me down tell me it’s acid reflux and send me home every time… has anyone’s antenatal care experience been similar?? I feel so not reassured and under cared for? I’m worried about little man’s growth.

Hospital and home visits

How do you feel about hospital and home visits after the baby is born?
My in laws want to go to the hospital but I want to set boundaries and have time to ourselves to allow us to settle in.

Anterior placenta mamas, how often did you feel kicks?

I've just had my 20 week scan and was told I have an anterior placenta. I'm convinced it's more to the right because I feel a fair amount of something to the left.

I've felt little pops the past few mornings and 1-2 throughout the day. Only felt it once with my hand a few days ago. My question is, how often did you feel kicks and when? I'm just curious if 2-3 times a day is what to expect or if I'm literally just feeling gas 🤣 although I think I know the difference.
