Carry on

Been ages since I’ve used this on my boy but noticed when I used this today that when I click the straps at the arm, he is hardly able to move his arm up if he wanted too, how do I sort that out so he can if he wanted or is it ment to be like that? He’s 11 months old - is he maybe too old for it?

Baby movements/BH/contractions

I’m 40+5 today and feeling fed up like most people in this boat! I’ve noticed that almost every night the baby moves a lot and I can feel it pushing down and giving me proper like period pain feelings. Is this the same thing as a contraction or is it different if it coincides with baby moving? It’s really hard to lo...

Cause for concern?

I’m 15+4. Went for a scan yesterday for gender and baby was all okay!💗💙 just went a toilet and got a tiny bit of pink blood on tissue, nothing in the toilet pan.

Reduced movement triage visits

Has anybody else been to triage multiple times with reduced movements? I’ve been in 3 times already in the last couple of months, most recently only last Monday.

Braxton Hicks or Labour?

I've had Braxton Hicks contractions for about a week now, normally just a really tight tummy so uncomfortable but not painful. My LO is also super low and is on the verge of my pelvis but not engaged (they was Friday). Since Friday though, I've had on and off cramping, similar to period pains and sharp pains on one...

Stomach pains

Now 32 weeks and started to really suffer with stomach pain. This is my first pregnancy, does anyone know if this is normal? I can only assume it’s because we’re getting close to the end now, but it is almost intolerable.

Counting Kicks

When you're doing a counting kick session, what are you counting as one kick/movement? My baby girl will often do like a roll, kick and punch one after the other. Would you count that as one, or like each individual movement. Sometimes if she's having a play she will do up to 10 movements immediately after one ano...

Triage or not?

My Baby has had a routine for quite a while now in regards to when they kick, usually lots for a period of time in the morning and at night. Over the last few days Baby's pattern has changed and they seem to be kicking here and there throughout the day instead. Is this something to be concerned over? I'm really goin...

Advice please!

I went to triage today for possible leaking waters and reduced movements. Thankfully my waters aren’t leaking. The midwife found the heartbeat after quite a few tries and said it sounded good and she wasn’t concerned. However baby still isn’t moving as much as normal. I’m 27 weeks today. Could she just have changed ...
