Baby Movement

I’m 19w2d and am super anxious to feel baby move. I’m a plus size girlie and read it can take a little longer for us to feel movement. When did you all feel your baby move for the first time?!!

It also depends on where your placenta is! I had an anterior placenta, I felt baby kick for the first time at 25-26 weeks

I’m plus size and I started feeling the bubble pop sensation at about 18 weeks but didn’t feel a proper move until 25 weeks as I had an anterior placenta x

I have my anatomy scan on Thursday so I’ll find out where my placenta is then!

Maybe 22 weeks. I had an anterior placenta though.

It depends where your placenta is. I had anterior with both mine so didn’t feel anything properly up to about 24/25 weeks even with my second baby.

My first not until 25 weeks. Second probably around 18 weeks but I think you feel it earlier because you know what you’re feeling if that makes sense.

I had the flutters at 16 weeks and started feeling the stronger taps around 18, and then proper kicking at 19 and I’m plus size too x now 21 weeks and you can see it from outside my belly 😭

I started feeling the bubbles at like 18w, at 19w i had my anatomy scan and could confirm that what I was feeling was in fact my baby moving bcs I had the sensation during the scan and I could see my baby moving lok but at first it doesn't feel like movement, it's more like bubbles popping. I had posterior placenta btw so maybe that's why so early on?

I didnt feel my baby until I was 34 weeks. I had an anterior placenta (at the front) and a retroverted uterus.

I was about 22 weeks x

Do you know where your placenta is? I just found out mine is anterior and I’m still not sure if I feel my baby I’ll be 20 weeks on Monday

Anterior placenta - 24 weeks!

I am 21 weeks, anterior placenta, no movement yet

I'm plus size and I started feeling her at 20 weeks

Anterior placenta, 20 weeks and just started feeling flutters

24 or 26 weeks!

Plus sized here. Previous baby, my daughter, I felt her flutters around 16 weeks then pretty consistent movements by 19-20 weeks. This time around I have an anterior placenta and couldn't feel him very well (still have trouble sometimes depending how he's positioned) until at least 21 weeks.

Advice

I’m 10 weeks postpartum,
We tried doing the duty (sorry don’t know how to word things in here), and right away it hurt. Like sharp sore pain.

Can this be normal after a c-section??

BV ? infection? Or normal?

So I really don’t know if this is still normal for recovering I’m about 7 weeks post partum. My vagina is Leaking watery fluid kind of like discharge would but it’s not discharge I don’t believe. It has an off smell but it’s not disgusting. Just a type of smell, different from lochia if I spelt that right idk, but if this is normal please let me know I looked it up and it said it could be either BV or a infection but I’m not sure. 🤷🏽‍♀️

C- section

What did you do for your overhang after the gp cleared you?

Groin pain

Hey, I’m just wondering if anyone has suffered with groin and pelvis pain around 15 weeks? I’m really struggling ans day to day tasks are getting tough already and I’m not even half way! Does anyone have any suggestions? Xx

Period?

7.5 week PP and I think I’ve gotten my period, but it’s very light, mostly just spotting with tiny bit of mini clots. I’ve been reading everywhere the opposite as everyone having super heavy flow, so now questioning if it’s normal or if it even is period..?!

Back side pain

Hi everyone I’m currently 26 weeks pregnant and I have a really bad aching pain at the bottom of my left side, the only way to ease it is by sitting up and leaning forward. I have tried pain killers but it’s been going on for a couple days now. Is this happening to anyone else and does anyone have any advice or suggestions please. Trying to sleep is a nightmare
