Pregnancy movements 🤍

So I don't know if people will understand what im saying in this 😅 but i was having a conversation about babys kicking the other day and its just got me wondering, so I have been pregnant 3 times. And i very rarely feel what I'll call internal movements, so like where baby will be rolling or kicking etc that doesn't actually make your belly move or I guess hit the sides as to make kicks like i would feel if this even makes sense. Like what I'll call external movements, and so I'm just wondering like whats most common? I cant even really name a time where I've noticed internal movements, but from my understanding now other women do feel that?? So whats everyone elses experience would you say you feel internal movements just as much as external or whats your case?
❤️❤️❤️

Definitely felt both, both pregnancies. I felt more internal I think, as I’d be like “ooh baby is kicking!” And people would rush to feel her kick, and I’ll be like “ooh did you feel that!?” And they’ll say no. Lol and they’d be waiting for ages to feel her 😂 so I’d say maybe like 60% internal, 40% external! This obviously only applies to when they’re big enough inside you to actually feel from the outside. I felt movement internally a lot more when I was very early in both my pregnancies! X

Elective c section?

Can anyone share their experience of an elective c section please?

Good or bad, I’m really torn on whether to go for one or try a natural birth. I have a few medical complications which make me think it may be the better option overall, but I’ve been told I can still try for a natural birth if I want, I just can’t decide what is best!

Bag for hospital

Ok so I know I’m a little early but my mind likes to be very organised 😂 what sort of bag are you planning on taking to hospital with you? Last time I think I took a large suitcase and I ended up using hardly anything! Do I take a small suitcase for baby and then a little bag of bits for me? Or do I just take the suitcase again?

When did you first feel baby kick?

Hey! Im 19 stone so plus size and have a posterier placenta and I’m 19 weeks pregnant and I don’t think I’ve felt baby move yet so I’m just wondering when other people first felt their baby move cause I’m an over worrier 😂

Pressure in pelvis / FTM

I’m 37 weeks & woke up with heaviness/pressure in pelvic area. I hardly could swing my legs out bed. Is anyone else experiencing this? Called Triage and midwife advised it’s normal & paracetamol and call back if any other symptoms arise.

VBAC or Scheduled Csection

I had a very traumatic first birth with my first born, 1 year and 3 months ago. I was in labour for more than 24 hours, ended up having to have an emergency C-section as baby had passed meconium during labour and he was also a 4.400kg baby. We ended up having to stay in hospital for 6 days and both on antibiotics.

With that being said I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant and baby is already weighing 2.392kg. I will be having another scan on the 24th to see how much baby is weighing and will then be discussing options in best interest of baby.
I really wanted to try a VBAC but I do not want to risk having to stay in hospital for that long away from my first born. Feeling so unsure whether to still allow my body to go into natural labour or to just schedule a csection to avoid another emergency csection and distress on the baby???
