Hey ladies. Does anyone find it really difficult to know when to go to maternity triage for the movements. I'm 37 weeks now. Should the movements be exactly the same everyday? As apparently if they are different at all you should go in, however let's be real they are different some days. I feel like I will end up with an induction if I'm so paranoid about movements. Something I would prefer not to have. I am sitting in triage now waiting to speak check everything is okay, whilst baby is moving around just fine. However the movements have been different. This morning she didn't move until around 11am. Usually she moves a lot in the morning. Is there anything that anyone follows or if the movements are different do you just go in?

Im no help as I have no idea but I feel the same. So paranoid as every MW and medic says “any changes and call”. For me no 2 days are the same. My baby’s movements are usually so light that in the evenings I sit down for an hour just to spend time with bump as mostly feel it with my hand on tummy. I don’t feel much movement while in work. I’m only 33wks though! Movement at night would never keep me awake.
I’ve also been told all babies are different! Hope it goes ok for you it is still good to get checked xx

You know your baby and body better than anyone, so I would always go with what your gut tells you! My baby's movements felt different the other day, but she was still moving so I wasn't too concerned. I had a scan booked in 2 days later and mentioned how the movements felt different, and it was actually because she had moved head down. I also know exactly where the placenta is (anterior placenta) so I tend to know if she is behind the placenta. Is there a specific position or something you notice gets baby moving/where you can feel baby better? Or maybe when you eat something sugary etc? I would look out for those clues so you have a few things at home to try before you go to triage, but when in doubt it's not worth the risk. And you can always refuse an induction, I wouldn't be paranoid about that xx

If you're questioning movements go in basically. They would rather be bothered more times a day with a false alarm than something happening to your baby. I hate that we are made to feel inconvenient when it's literally their job
Today i found out if you have the flu or a cold you feel really under the weather and just want to lie down and rest - our babies do the same thing, their movements may be reduced because they are reserving energy, didn’t know this before but it puts my mind at ease as i had the worst flu over the past week at 37 weeks and baby girl was quite quiet ❤️🥰

Hiya all!
I’m new to the app, I was just wondering how your 17 week old babies are getting on with rolling?
My daughters rolling from her back to her belly one side but won’t roll the other way just yet xxx

Born some time after 3pm (I think 😭), weighing 9lbs. Rough C-section though, had to do spinal twice, threw up, they had to make a new incision and cut through muscle and finally they had to get rid of some scar tissue. They did need a vacuum to get him out

I’ve just had a call from my midwife following from my 12 week scan on Wednesday saying I have low PAPP-A and have been advised to take aspirin every night, she didn’t seemed too concerned but I obviously have been googling everything and have sent myself down a hole.. anyone else had PAPP-A and everything was ok? My scan was on the 47th percentile at 12 weeks.
Any advice or reassurance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Looking for some inspo on baby girl names, we have a few favourites but really open to suggestions.
We have a son already called Jude. Our top contenders are-
Violet
Iris
Goldie

But would like some more suggestions on these wavelengths…

Had the foley balloon fitted last night at 2100 after 4 attempts and 2 different midwives as although my cervix was soft apparently it was very closed but the end she managed to force it to 0.5cm. Since then I’ve had irregular contractions although some quite painful and close together for a few hours that I had to get some pain relief, have also lost my bloody show. What’s the odds I’m gonna be dilated enough to break my waters after the 18 hours?
