FTM in need of advice

Hello ladies, I’m 27w5d today and yesterday I noticed less/ softer movement than usual. Just for my own record, I had been documenting his movements pretty consistently but then I stopped for a few days. I’ve started documenting his movements consistently again today and it still feels a bit less/ softer than what it’s often been in the past. I have a posterior placenta so usually I can feel him roll or kick fairly well and often. I’m not sure if he’s just in a different position than usual or if it’s just first time jitters getting to me or if there’s actually reason to be concerned.

Please share any thoughts or suggestions. ❤️

I had significant issues regarding movement and a lack thereof. I went in to checked every single time due to anterior placenta. It was always fine thank goodness but I wouldn't even chance it x

It happened to me and I got so stressed went to A&E and he started moving. I felt like an idiot. But if you are concerned, its important you get it checked. Worst case scenario, it’s only a trip to emergency. Xx stay strong.

They can go from all kinds of intense movement and then little to no movement. They tend to get calmer in the middle/end of pregnancy and then get pretty active right before they make their appearance! If you ever need the peice of mind do not hesitate to talk to your OB. Not everyone's body is the same. Not every pregnancy is the same. Not every baby is the same.

eat something sugary!! i have an anterior placenta so i don't panic if i haven't felt him in a while but i always notice little wiggles after i eat candy or drink juice or something sweet

Orange juice if you can. It'll get him to move more

I had an antierior placenta and I always went into l&D when I couldn’t my little man move. It never hurts to get checked out and make sure everything is fine. They always encouraged me he was find and moving up a storm at a few times near the end he wouldn’t stop moving

Do you think having a home birth is inconsiderate if you leave in an apartment?

Because of how loud you’ll be, it’s a long journey, walls are thin already can hear everything now. (Not my situation, saw it elsewhere and never thought about this situation)

Numbness

Hi pretty mommas, I had an emergency C section 5 weeks ago. My belly is bit numb in some areas and can’t feel anything. Did anyone else experience this? Because I am concerned now. Xx

Waters?

I’d just been for a wee and I felt a click type of feeling my knickers were wet. Put a pad in and they are a little wet I keep feeling like I’m trickling but questioning myself 100%
