Lazy baby?

Hello! So with the recommendations regarding baby’s movements in the womb, does anyone have a lazy baby sometimes moves lots sometimes doesn’t at all? Bare in mind I have an anterior placenta so I don’t feel every kick.

I mainly feel baby when I’m on my side and she likes to kick me at my sides.

I also haven’t figured out her pattern yet as she can be active at any time of the day randomly

Is anyone else feeling like this? Have you contacted triage for reduced movements?

This is also my first baby but I will say she is getting more active so this is a positive

I also had anterior and no routine throughout the whole pregnancy.
It was worrying and also frustrating when everyone asks about movement, even the midwives and I tried to explain I hardly felt her some days.
One time I had a scan and she was moving around loads and the sonographer was surprised I couldn't feel it.
I think it depends on what side she was on.
I found if I laid on my side and gently tap, she would give a little kick. And also deep breaths, in for four then exhale a few times.
I had reduced movements checked once.
Of course please get it checked if it's playing on your mind.

Am I being dramatic

I posted a couple days ago about losing my plug throughout the day in big chucks and I had no contractions or tightenings just kept coming out. Since last night I haven’t been able to sleep because of nausea and pain in my stomach and back, I’ve gone to the toilet about 6 times, could this be my body clearing itself? I didn’t have any pain this morning but since i’ve been relaxing i’ve had tightenings right down in my pelvis, some painful some not. I’m 36+3 so have been advised by midwife to call if i have tightenings but i wouldn’t say they’re regular so I don’t know whether i just monitor it or call them? I hate calling and it turning out to be nothing 🙈 It’s my second pregnancy but was induced the first time round so I never experienced this!

I had a fall

I fell on my way to the GP! They examined me but emergency refused to see me and check on the baby because I am not bleeding. They wanted to Xray my leg which i refused as i feel it is minor. I am 17 weeks so not feeling movements yet and freaking out. I booked a private scan for Saturday but I am so worried something may happen to my baby.

C Section booking

Hello! Have any C Section mamas received their surgery date yet? Or know roughly how soon before they let you know your date? I’m due on the 15th but haven’t heard of when my section will be yet so was just hoping for some advice/previous experiences before I start chasing. I’m with Aneurin Bevan health board in south wales if that makes any difference 🙂

I have been experiencing period pains that come and go since about 11:45am and now they seem to just be there like a dull period pain constantly? Anyone else experienced this? Is it worth a call to triage?

Post C-section.

So I’m 9 days PP today.
I’m still quite sore and heavy at my scar site. I daren’t bend to pick things up still & I’m still walking around the house/stairs slowly. Don’t feel comfortable unless I’m taking pain relief & also don’t want to leave the house as the car journey is way too bumpy & uncomfortable 😩
Is anyone else at a similar stage?
Does this all sound normal?
