I also have a posterior placenta and this is my first pregnancy I am 23 weeks and I feel her move multiple times during the day however a lot more active on a night. I didn’t start feeling strong movement until I was around late 21 weeks but before it felt like bubbles or having gas

Really depends what you’re doing! I find that during the working day I won’t feel her as much, it was the same as my first pregnancy, but if I’m sat down, driving, relaxing in bed etc I feel her a lot more.

I don’t think movement was consistent for me until past 24 weeks, closer to 30 when it was the same time everyday kinda thing.

They’re still so small at the moment! You’ll feel baby loads more when they’re bigger. But if you ever have concerns or no movement all day just contact triage or your GP x

I feel my baby pretty much constantly but it does quiet down sometimes. I'm 23 weeks and it feels like I'm getting stomped on sometimes

Conceiving after C-section

Hi all!

I’ve seen many conflicting posts about conceiving after a c-section. I ideally do not want a large gap between my children. I’m currently 5 months pp and would like to start ttc in a few months.

People who waited or didn’t wait -what was it like?

If you didn’t wait the recommended time, was it another section or is a VBAC achievable that soon?

Thank you 💗

Clingy baby

Hi I know its quite normal for baby to want to he held all the time, but how long does this last so intensely for? It seems all day I cannot put baby down so have to wear a carrier to get anything done in the house. Do they become slightly more independent as time goes? It's really frustrating starting to have back ache from carrying everywhere

GD

I thought my results by the finger pricking were good, turns out they were great for a non pregnant lady 😂
Anyway, I have GD, and it’s likely they’ll put me on medication since my 11-12hr of fasting is still giving a high reading. I have 1-2 weeks to adjust my diet and go from there even though I’m already eating a balanced diet, and eating what I can with Hyperemesis.

Those who’ve had it, is it more common to be given tablets or injections?
And if it’s injections, is it once a day? 🫣

Gender scan

Has anyone had multiple pregnancies, one without finding the gender and one with? Which did you prefer? Did knowing make it easier to prepare?
I’m struggling to decide if I want to find out. My partner does want to know but I don’t. But now I’m wondering if I’m being mean amd making him miss out on the experience and it would actually be easier if we found out?

Just want some friendly advice.

37 weeks and 7 triage visits for reduced movements in the past 7 days

Hi girls, I’m starting to panic now, I’ve got an elective section booked but been in triage and admitted 1 night last weeks for 7 lots of reduced movements to the point I can’t feel my baby at all.

I have a consultant appointment today and don’t know what to do as it’s driving me crazy
