Baby movements 18 weeks

I guess it is different for everyone but I’m a bit concerned I’m not feeling any kind of movement or ‘flutters’ although I’m really not sure what to feel for for that as it’s my first baby. I’m 18 weeks pregnant so I was under the impression I’d feel something by now.

Reduced movements!

Hi girls - I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and feeling a bit embarrassed. I’ve been told I’ve got an anterior placenta and I’ve been in triage around 5/6 times since 25 weeks for reduced movements. I’ve since moved and my care has changed to my current hospital. I went in over two weeks ago for reduced movements, ctg was fine and was referred for a scan to double check - that went perfect as well. I went in today because she again, wasn’t moving much - soon as I got there she was all active and wiggling away. Ctg went perfect again but they’ve referred me for a scan again to double check. I just feel like I’m wasting their time and I’m a bit embarrassed about it all. I know I’m doing the right thing by getting it checked if she has reduced movements - I just worry about other people thinking I’m being a bit dramatic! Has anyone had a similar situation?

Mucus plug

I lost my mucus plug today
I was wondering at 35 weeks would it regenerate or is it just now a wait and see game ??

Dummy for hospital

I’m having a right mental block. How do I pack a dummy for baby for the hospital if it only stays sterile for 24 hours!? This is my second baby but I cannot for the life of me remember what I did last time 🤦🏻‍♀️

33 week scan

Need advice and reassurance, at my 33 week scan baby was weighing at 4lbs 11 I’m a bit worried I hope that’s a good weight my daughter was just below average when she was born and I’ve had a really bad experience with her with people constantly saying “aww she’s so small “ she’s so tiny” etc etc and cause of that I’ve been really stressed out with baby’s weight during this pregnancy

Any advice on how I can get baby’s weigh up ? Perhaps eat certain foods?
