Hello everyone,
I am 25w1d and still have not felt baby move (anterior placenta).
I am now on the reduced foetal movement pathway- which is reassuring in one way as i am getting frequent monitoring, on the other hand has made me feel even more anxious.
I suppose I am just feeling very alone with everything- and just reaching out to see if anyone has been through the same?

I had an anterior placenta with my first and didn’t start to notice the “is it a fart or the baby” type stuff until 25 weeks ish, maybe later , and bear in mind he was a 99+% baby measuring many weeks ahead (I’m diabetic). By the time I hit 30 weeks it was noticeable. But still spent a lot of time on monitors because I was never sure because he never seemed to get a “pattern” as they like to call it, just because I wasn’t able to feel it. It really was close to the end when it was proper kicks. I was never put on a specific pathway as such so i can’t help with info on that unfortunately

I had this in my first pregnancy, I never felt my little boy move until the last 10 weeks. I started to see movement before that but never felt anything.
Get your hospital bags ready guys, you never know what’s going to happen! (I knew this was going to happen though)

I just had my 6 week check for me and baby, Is it normal for them not to see ur c section scar? It was a very quick appointment for me where they asked if my mood was okay and if I wanted contraception. I’m just guessing that I’m now able to get a bath, lightly exercise ect…

I was super excited to make it to 24ws. However OB check up was yesterday, since being seen every week in the high risk clinic I am now on a heart monitor. After experiencing several heart palpitations docs are concerned. I got a EKG done in the beginning of pregnancy because I was experiencing heart palpitations which ofc came back normal. Now I’m finally being monitored. I’m happy and sad b/c it’s so much with having an autoimmune disease and being pregnant. My first child is 3 and I didn’t have to go through any of this. Some days are definitely easier than others 😮💨
Is anyone else on a heart monitor or have been while pregnant?

Has anyone else got a seriously stubborn bubba who seems to have absolutely NO intention of making an appearance? 😂😭
I’m 40+6, 3cm dilated, had 3 sweeps, lost A LOT of mucus, and had 3 evenings of contractions after my second sweep… only for everything to completely stop and NOTHING since! 🫠
Now I’ve got an induction booked for Monday, so it looks like our October baby girl might just become a November baby girl! 🍂🤎
At this point, I think she’s far too comfy in there… but Mumma has officially had ENOUGH! 😂🤰🏼

I woke up the other night with extreme cramp in my calf, it eased after a while but I can still feel it a few days later. My calf just feels so tight.
Anyone else experience this? And what can I do to help?
