Hi! It’s my first baby so I don’t feel him as much as the doctor says I should. I feel big kicks but other than that minor. Does anyone else actually feel the baby 10 times an hour? My husband is worried I don’t but I never have and all the ultrasounds they say are perfect.

If I’m up and around I don’t always feel baby moving every hour. I feel her more when I’m sitting or resting. I’m starting to feel her more when I’m up and around. My toddler keeps me so busy I don’t have time to think about it 10 times an hour lol

Just FYI, that’s 10 times within 2 hours.

It’s my first baby too and like Hannah mentioned if I’m moving around i don’t really feel him unless it’s a big kick. But once I eat something or just relax thats when I really feel him the most. How many weeks are you?

29 but I’ve always had trouble feeling him. Even when my doctor says that was a movement did you feel it? I do feel the big movements though.

I only check for 10 times an hour one hour a day. Not every single hour. That would be too much monitoring. I just notice when she does kick but if I'm moving around, the baby is sleeping. The baby also sleeps a lot.

Okay cool glad I’m not the only one not feeling a football team all day

If you have anterior placenta it can be harder.
I have one and depending on the time of day I probably wouldn’t but I try to aim for when he seems to be the most active which is evening and I def get 10. It’s any movement besides hiccups. So roll. Kick. Punch. Flutter etc. even if back to back.

My first I had an anterior placenta and didn’t feel much. Baby was fine.

Currently 31 weeks. Mine is super active at night and sometimes sleeps all day. So most of the time it's next to nothing during the day and then at night 10 kicks in 20 minutes.

30 weeks. Sometimes baby is changed position and the kicks are all down so I can’t feel as much. Other times he’s kicking sideways for the day
I got sent the hospital yesterday as baby girl isnt measuring how they would like and they said that it doesn’t look like I have enough fluid, is there anything i can do that can help with fluid or is there anything I can do to change these things??

My little boy is 3.5 weeks old and I feel like I’m still just getting through each day.
We manage to get out for a walk a day and I always make sure I get a shower in but I feel like I spend most of my time sat down at home watching TV and feeding/holding my little one, pretty much all of his naps are contact naps which I love but I feel so unproductive.
Should I be getting out more? Going to baby groups? Just wondering what others days looked like at 3/4 weeks and when you started making plans with your days.

I’m 34 weeks and don’t feel there any sign of baby turning, I’ve been doing breech tilt and leaning off the sofa and I’m more concerned baby is wedged bum down in my pelvis and won’t be able to get out himself or he’s stuck in the cord(stupid I know) going to try the hot cold trick tonight and see what he does

Hi there, I am at 39 weeks and 6 days and I am feeling a strong pressure to induce from my OB. However, there are no red flags to warrant in induction in my opinion. (OK yes advanced maternal age, but who isn’t these days? + velamentous cord insertion but baby is measuring in 90%)

Ok so Ive been having recurring similar bad dreams. And I read that sometimes you can have aggressive dreams about your spouse doing stupid things. So here's the question I have, what kind of strange dreams did you have about your partner while you were pregnant?
