Do you feel them more regular in the evenings when you home sitting down?

My placenta is the same and I notice a big difference from when I’m out and about moving / standing vs sitting during work. I can feel baby a lot more if I’m sitting not as much when being active.

I’ve been told if my early morning / late evening kicking sessions going as usual then it’s all good. It’s about figuring out your pattern, not how often it is

Same here. I can only feel the baby when I’m sitting down or lying down and not moving too much. The baby either goes quiet when I walk around or I simply can’t feel him when I’m moving.

I don’t think you must measure it as loads of activity and that they need to be busy but rather try and figure out a time pattern for when your baby moves. As everyone as said the more busy you are the less likely you are to notice movement and they also say movement rocks baby to sleep. BUT in saying this if you are ever concerned, do reach out to triage or go in ❤️

I have an anterior placenta as well and has the same worry recently as I wasn’t feeling much movement in the days! I was told that due to having the anterior placenta it is quite normal to not feel much movement when being active
If you’re feeling movement when you’re calm/relaxed I’d focus more on that pattern and try not to worry too much, but definitely have a chat with your midwife or give the hospital a call for peace of mind if needed as they can double check for you and give you some peace of mind🥰

Anxious ahead of labour

First time pregnant. Is anyone getting really anxious ahead of the due date? I am Week 39+2 and the not knowing exactly when it will all start and fearing the pain and unknown of the labour experience is seriously creeping me out 😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨 Any advice? ❤️

Hard belly

Hey can anyone tell me if it’s normal to have such a hard belly???

I’m almost 36 weeks and have a very tight belly a lot of the time. I’m getting quite constipated so think it could be this and I’ve now got the bulge where his butt is but everything feels quite tight and feel concerned as I’m the first to be pregnant in family and friend groups and I don’t really know what to expect at this time…

Any help is appreciated 🩵
