I have but it is my third pregnancy. I’m 16+1 x

I’m due on the 6th October and haven’t felt the baby kick yet! My midwife said it can be anywhere from 16-24 weeks and when it’s your first it can be more towards the 24 week mark!! Xx

I’m 16+2 with my second baby and I’ve felt flutters/movement for the past couple of weeks I’d say since I was around 14 weeks x

I’m due on October 15th, and I’ve started feeling the baby kick

Its my third pregnancy also.. just waiting impatiently xx

Im 17w and have had fluttering, rolling sensation and the occasional kick

I'm 17+1, first baby, not felt him yet

3rd pregnancy and still not feeling baby due the 13th

16th Oct, (16+1) felt movements this week

No kicking, but iv felt movements im 17 w 1 d . First child

Im due 22nd with my first. I have felt what feels like butterflies but nothing I would say I am sure is a movement though 🤷‍♀️ I am clueless

Anyone else’s baby super big??

He’s so tall I’m almost scared bc is that normal 😭 like he’s bigger than every baby I’ve seen that’s older than him, I’m about 5’8-5’9
He’s 30inches maybe more? And about 21lbs he’s almost too long for 12mo clothes
He’s longer than my torso, he sits up all by himself but doesn’t want to roll over yet.
(He was born with club feet that’s why he has boots and bar (: )
He was born Nov 17th 2025

C section questions

Hiii everyone! I’m a soon to be mum and also have type 1 diabetes. I’ve always been told I’d need a c section if I was to get pregnant but now I’m being told I have the option of how I want to give birth.. I had my mind prepared for a c section but then my midwife terrifieddddd me about it. Just hoping those who have had one could please share their stories and give me some reassurance 💛✨

Illness

No question or anything just a rant 😂. Love it when you wake up in the night with violent diarrhea and sickness at 12 days postpartum with a C section, but still have to battle through the night feeds and general newborn life... throw in a wild 3 year old for good measure and I am feeling very sorry for myself this morning 😂

Shortness of breath and heart rate when lying down

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can give me advice - since 22 weeks (I am now 23) I’m really struggling to sleep and find when I lie down I feel a shortness of breathe and can physically feel my heart pounding, even when on my left hand side.

It eases up a little once I remove the elevation from my head but still doesn’t feel super comfortable.

I’m going to see the midwife as soon as I can after bank holiday, but has anyone experienced this?

Thank you!
