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. I’ve had some pressure in my lower part last few days but this is baby growing I take it? I don’t have any severe pain etc. Please mummies any advice x

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.

Is it just me?

why do people not move out the way when youve got a pushchair? It’s like I’m having a lot of people trying to walk into me or stand there waiting for me to move….. Before I had my little boy, if I ever saw anyone with a pushchair and there was a small gap I used to step to the side….

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 ...
