Movements

Has anyone had a change in movements at this stage? 36 weeks and the last couple of days instead of lots of wriggling around I’ve just been getting baby pushing out of my stomach if that makes sense?

I find it really hard to explain, but kind of pushing and creating lumps in my bump, but overall slower. I do think baby has changed position which could be why it feels different.

I will say I have been in for monitoring and everything seemed normal, I’m just finding the change really unsettling!

I’m the exact same! 38 weeks now and it’s definitely changed. The pushing out thing is really weird, and as a first time mom it’s so hard to know if it’s normal or not! X

I’m 38 weeks tomorrow and this baby feels like it’s pushing so hard and making my belly almost flat on one side and a massive lump on another! Very uncomfortable 😅

37 weeks and the exact same thing is happening to me! Sounds like it is normal!

Same here at 37 almost 38 weeks it’s baby finding the position for labour I think I’m also a first time mum but that’s what I was told xx

I also have the pushing it’s feels like she’s trying to kick and claw her way out of me! Xx

I can relate with you word to word. Same exact things happening since 36 week. I’m now 38+ 4 and feels like there is not much space for the baby to move around.

Doppler heartbeat

Hello I’m 18 weeks pregnant. Went into triage for reduced movement and they couldn’t find baby’s heartbeat. Did a scan and baby was fine, sitting comfortably and heartbeat nice and strong.
But my mind is racing as to why the Doppler never picked it up?!

Aches, pains, headaches

I’m 35 weeks tomorrow, for the last two mornings I’ve woken up with the worst headache, but horrific aches and pains.
My whole body aches like I’ve gone ten round with a bag of bricks! Any one else? 😫

Pregnancy with IUD

Hi all. I'm 11 weeks pregnant with a copper IUD. The strings are not visible and I'm looking to have the IUD removed as it seems the risks of continuing the pregnancy with the IUD are too high.
What my doctor told me and what the internet seems to say in regards to miscarriage during the removal seems to be very different.
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience with this?

Emergency c section

I had my little boy last week - I was so desperate to have everything as natural as possible - my waters broke in the morning I went back to bed and tried to get some sleep - when I woke up the waters were a horrible colour so went to the hospital where it was confirmed there was meconium in them, so I was then induced to get me going on an oxytocin drip - I didn’t want pain relief just a water birth so I did 18 hours on an oxy drip just with gas and air, I got to 10cm dilated and started pushing etc after being in the pool, I then was told there was a bit of my cervix in the way and they couldn’t get him over it, by this point I was so drained and just couldn’t take anymore! It then just went on for so long I started panicking about why he wasn’t coming I was given the option for an emergency section but it was a big risk because of how long my labour had been going on. I had the section and everything was fine in the end but both me and my partner feel like it was so traumatic and just not how we wanted or expected it to go - I now keep going over and over it and how disassociated I felt with my baby to start with 🥺😢
