Movements

Has anyone found the further along they get the more their movements are feeling the baby actually moving around rather than kicks? I feel like the bigger he’s got the less kicks I now feel and more big movements instead…

Hiding nausea at work

I'm really struggling to hide the nausea at work, i constantly have a horrible taste in my mouth and if I don't eat a bit of dry cracker regularly I start wanting to wretch. Even cold air makes me wretch - not the best since it's freezing at the moment! Any tips for hiding it at work?

Another Movement Post Sorry 🫣

But need the hive mind to validate my feelings 🫠 I should know second time round but you just forget what it’s like. I’m not feeling nothing, but I just feel like I should be feeling more than I currently am. When I do feel movement it’s very deep and brief and it’s not often. Should I call triage or not do you…

Movement patterns (anterior placenta)

I’m 23+4 with an anterior placenta and feel movements and kicks almost everyday, but some days he’s quiet and I don’t feel him as much. Anyone else the same?
