Since yesterday I haven’t felt baby kick as much… or as strong. I have felt here and there but not like what I’m used to. I went in for triage first time today and they said they can only listen to heartbeat before 26 weeks, which was fine. They said if the movements doesn’t go back to his usual to go back in. Now I’m just lying down waiting for his kicks because that’s when I feel him the most (I do feel them but not a lot of repetitive ones). Anyone else felt the same? I’ve had pretty good movement some days which could even be seen from outside my stomach, considering I have an anterior placenta.

Have you tried things that usually get him to move? My baby used to kick the hell out of me when I’d eat green peppers or drink very cold water and led on my right side, when I was around 25 weeks she’s not move as much if I’d been on my feet and walking around all day although the first time I went in for reduced movement was 28 weeks and then I think I went 4 times during the last few weeks of my pregnancy

What do you mean they can only listen before 26 weeks?

I also had an anterior placenta and I was so anxious the entire pregnancy once I started to feel him move. I ended up in triage 5 times, to the point I was put on a reduced movement pathway in the end. Some days he moved the entire day and others I struggled and despite trying everything I could to get him to move nothing would work, hence the triage visits. When I was 36 I went in for that reason and they did an U/S and he was kicking so much but I just couldn't feel it - turns out I had a lot of water( which wasn't picked up on scans) which along with the placenta was blocking feels. Hang in there and I would say go to triage if you are concerned because getting checked is the best thing 😊

Lay on your side in a quiet room and focus on the baby's movements only. I used to find that helped and I was surprised how many movements I missed, especially when I was at work. I also found that my little boy was active at night and was rarely kicking in the.morning. you ll get to know your own baby x
I just found out I’m pregnant again 5 months postpartum. I had a c-section and my doctor is saying that it’s still healing. Carrying the pregnant might be dangerous. Has anyone else gotten pregnant shortly after giving birth + how did you process it? I’m feeling overwhelmed.

Had a midwife appointment on Thursday when I was 28+5 weeks and bump was measuring at 32cm so they want me to have a growth scan. Terrified baby girl is going to be really big and I’ll have to have a c-section which is my worst fear! Has anyone else had this recently or had a growth scan? 😬

Does anyone know who I should be contacting about c-section bleeding. I'm two weeks post partum and my bleeding was turning brown like it should be but has suddenly turned bright red and stringy with no obvious clots. I'm a little concerned but unsure who to contact.

Is it normal to have 3 birthday parties for an 8 year old, one of those being 4 weeks after the actual date of her birthday.
