18 weeks 3 days, first pregnancy and still waiting. Making me anxious a bit. But I have been told it’s different for everyone

In my first pregnancy it wasn't till around 22/23 weeks. Cam be longer too, so don't worry too much. I'm 18 weeks now and think I can feel a bit of movement, but no kicks

I’m 17+4 I’ve not really felt anything yet either this is my first pregnancy too. I have listened when at work and I can feel them when they kick the Doppler (I am a midwife) but it’s really normal to not feel them until a bit later with your first but everyone is different x

I feel like little flutters and I’ve just gone past 17 weeks but they feel more like butterflies in your tummy or indigestion but this is also my first pregnancy so could also be nothing and I’m getting in my head but just play by ear darling and then you can also get other scans or a heartbeat thing from Amazon if you’re ever in doubt xx

I am 17 weeks and spoke to midwife yesterday she said you can usually feel them around 22 weeks so I wouldnt worry, although it feels like forever just waiting to feel that first doesnt it x

I was around 22 weeks with my first (anterior placenta) and around 16 with my second (posterior placenta) x

2nd baby, huge bump

Is anyone else on their 2nd baby and just absolutely huge. This was me last Wednesday at 31 weeks pregnant! Now 32 weeks. Can't believe there's another 2 months to go. It doesn't feel possible to grow anymore?!

Inductions and sweeps

So I’m 38 + 1 weeks and they have said they will be inducing me on my due date if my sweeps aren’t successful.
I went for one yesterday, my midwife said no chance of a sweep as my bodies not ready after checking and said we can try next week.

I’m a tad nervous they are going to have to induce me, in case it just makes birthing 10x worse. Has anyone had any issues when being induced?

Struggling in new job! Haven’t announced yet

I was previously a TA and found out in the summer holidays I was pregnant after accepting a new job in September in a nursery.

It’s only my second day and I’m struggling so much! I’m waiting to tell them after my 12 week scan in another week’s time but I’m so exhausted. I can’t do any nappies or many jobs until my 3 month probation is up so I’m just sat with the children not doing much feeling so sick! Has anyone been in a similar position before?

Anyone had their waters broken? How long did it take to go into labour after doing that? Ive been told thats all i will need to be induced as im 5cm now but nothing is happening for me 😞
