Plus size pregnancy

Hi ladies,

Im a plus size and I’m currently 15.5 weeks pregnant, I’m just wondering at how many weeks did you feel your baby move with being plus size…
Just curious to see, as I’m being told with being plus size I won’t feel my baby at 24 weeks plus.

Hi lovely, I’m plus size too, and I was worried about this as well. I actually started feeling little flutters at around 18–19 weeks. Everyone is different though, and it can also depend on things like where your placenta is. Being plus size doesn’t automatically mean you won’t feel your baby until 24+ weeks. Hopefully you’ll start feeling those little movements soon. ❤️

I am not plus size and I’ve started feeling my baby girl at 24 weeks second time, with my first son I was plus size and started feeling him at 19 so it doesn’t matter really 😬

Labour and delivery documents

Has anyone ever requested their full labour and delivery documents from the hospital?

Currently wanting to do this but can't seem to figure how to so hoping someone knows how!!

Extra points if it was the Diana Princes of Wales Hospital

People who get induced when it’s not a medical emergency annoys me. Everytime I make a post asking about labor or anything regarding natural births somebody who willingly got induced comment like your experience is not the same. I’m trying to learn and hear about natural experiences

Any ideas

I had a c section 5 months ago when the hospital done it they didn’t shave when they said they would (I didn’t have time before as we was busy packing and getting ready) is the c section scar ment to be wonky and bumpy as I’ve noticed I have what it looks to be a painful blister on the left side of my scar

32 weeks today

I am so bloody tired, I wake up tired. Every joint in my body is sore and achy, feet are swollen and think I’m going to have to take my mat leave now. On top of that I just cannot be bothered to do anything, lacking motivation all round! hospital bags are packed and everything is basically ready for baby arriving, makes me feel ill thinking I could go to 42 weeks… I don’t think I can do this for 10 more weeks 😭😬 anyone else feeling the same?

According to recent bloods not deficient in anything and I take all my supplements and get adequate enough sleep! 😴 is it normal to be feeling like this at 32 weeks? I thought I still had time before I felt the slug.

Hospital bags

Has anyone started packing their hospital bag yet, I keep seeing everyone on TikTok that’s due early October going into labour early, and it’s starting to worry me.
And if anyone has, what’s in it?
