Anyone still getting only a few irregular movements

I feel baby moving about once a day, and this is my second pregnancy. Im 20 weeks, just thought that as its my second pregnancy, they would be more often by now, and it worries me because today I've not really felt much, maybe a possible one or two, but not substantial.

Hey I’m on my third pregnancy and I am having the same experience with movements. Further into the pregnancies I had movements more often at similar time frames of the day :)

Yes I’m the same, and second pregnancy, though I am overweight and have an anterior placenta. I’m 21 weeks. I was only feeling a couple of movements each night when I laid down in bed, but I’ve not felt anything at all for the last couple days

I've had days like that, but thing perhaps I'm just noticing movement less if I'm busy etc. Baby still has quite a bit of room at the minute, and think they get onto more of a pattern from around 24 weeks from what I've read online.
I did go into a bit of a spiral the other day and rang the midwife, who checked me and baby over and all was okay. Currently 22 weeks and starting to feel a bit more each day.
Deffo ring your midwife or triage if you're worrying though, even if it's for peace of mind. They really encourage you to do too :)

Almost 19 weeks and not really felt any movements yet. This is my first pregnancy though.

C section scar related??

I had an emergency c section in 2024 and this year I’ve noticed something new that keeps happening and I don’t know if it’s linked to having a c section. I’ve noticed when I’m getting out the shower/bath and I’m bending forward to dry my legs and feet I get this random tight knot feeling in my stomach ( few inches above scar). It scares me but soon as I stand back straight it goes. Has anyone else experienced this?

My October baby is here.

He was born at 2:33pm today but decided to breathe in his amniotic fluid instead of air. Not improving as fast as they like so we went on the cpap and are going to be getting transferred to the nicu at a different hospital. Hopefully he improves soon so we can all go home together.

C section pain

Hi, I had an emergency C section 2 weeks ago exactly, it was a pretty horrendous C section in the end 😭 but my question… I’m still finding myself in some pain, a soreness around my scar, a pain inside my stomach and a strain when I wee, is anyone else experiencing this please? I’m taking pain killers when it gets bad maybe once / twice a day if I really need! I really thought the pain would have been gone by now 😭😭
