20 weeks decreased movement

Hi! I have been feeling alot of movement since 16 weeks. I have felt something every day and at least a little bit during the day but alot at night. I hit 20 weeks today. Yesterday I didnt feel anything at all until I felt a little bit at bed time, today I havent felt anything yet. Is this normal? I have my anatomy scan tomorrow so a doctor will be checking it out very soon but I just wanted to ask anyway

It happens sometimes. Drink some ice cold water and something sugary, that normally helps

I am actually experiencing the same thing. I turned 20 weeks yesterday and I noticed a significant decrease in movement. I already had my anatomy scan and everything is perfect! Whenever I eat or drink something cold, my baby starts moving a lot. My doctor told me by 24 weeks, I’ll start feeling consistent movement because baby will be bigger. She also said that baby is doing a lot of growing and is resting a lot more. I hope this helps!

I used to feel my baby more often when she was smaller and lower (pelvic area) by 20 weeks they are moving more to the belly button area, if you have anterior placenta (like I do) you won’t feel the baby move much, I also feel my baby at night and in the morning when I’m laying flat.

How long from 10 cm dilated to when the baby is actually born based on experience? I know everyone is different

Pregnancy 12 months post C-section

Does anyone have any experience getting pregnant 12 months after a c-section? My deliveries will be 20 months apart, but I am still nervous.

Different scar placements

Looking at photos people have shared of their c-section scars, I can see lots of you have low scars that are just under the public hair line. Mine is way higher than that.

Does anyone know why they can be at different levels and if it means anything for future pregnancies and c-sections?

Hospital bag!?

Help a girl out. I’m starting to gather bits for my hospital bag. I’ve found a few check lists online but no one really says how many of each you need. Does anyone have a checklist with amounts on?
Like the one big thing are we taking the little ready to use milk and if so how many?
Also is there anything that you are glad you took or wish you had?
Anything that was a waste of time and didn’t make it out the bag?

Due date change at anatomy scan??

Has had their due date updated when they went for their anatomy scan? I had a level 2 anatomy scan this morning and they moved my due date up a whole week!! He's looking perfect so I am not worried, just never heard of someone having their due date updated mid pregnancy!

If your partner is useless, was he like this pre baby, or only since the baby arrived?

I always see women posting about how useless their men are, wether that’s around the house with tidyness, doing things to make them feel loved and supported, or how they are with the kids, and I always think… was they like this pre baby? Or did they suddenly become useless after the child arrived?
