For some reason, at a very huge 33 weeks pregnant I thought wearing a playsuit where I have to take it off completely to wee was a good idea today 😂😂 it's touch and go everytime I need the loo with how long it's taking me to stand up hahaha

How long would you all give it before ringing triage about reduced movements? I don't know if I'm just being paranoid or not.

I noticed last night I hadn't felt baby much yesterday, but I was really active all day yesterday - barely sat down until about 4/5pm so I just assumed with being so active myself I hadn't noticed his movements. Plus with having an anterior placenta the movements aren't always that strong so I only really notice when sitting still sometimes. I did feel him once I relaxed a bit so felt ok but then when I was awake in the night I noticed I wasn't feeling him (usually as soon as I have a cold drink I feel something). I've felt him a few times this morning but not loads. I do have days where he'll be super active and then others where he'll be a bit more chilled but generally I have picked up on his pattern and know what triggers movements etc. I don't want to ring them and waste their time if I'm just being paranoid. Would you all give them a ring just in case or wait a couple of hours and see?
Agree with everyone else, never worry about calling them.
I find whenever I put my AirPods in and listen to something my little one thinks he’s preforming in cirque de soleil.

Hi everyone! I’ve just had my BFP after a miscarriage last November ( I already have a 2 year old) but I’m absolutely petrified of miscarrying again! My body is showing no real signs of pregnancy other than no period and I’m 5 weeks 3 days according to Flo. Please can someone offer me any sort of reassurance that it’s ok to not be having any symptoms yet? How do you stop the fear after a miscarriage! Xx
Congratulations! I've not ever experienced MC but I am in my first pregnancy and am 8 weeks today and other than a missed period and being spotty, I have zero signs of pregnancy either. I've started feeling a small amount of nausea today but zero else.

I'd say like others, an early scan to put your mind at rest may be a nice idea if you can ☺

Thank you, it is horrendous :( they did it to check I don’t have thrush or BV causing the leukocytes in my wee

Hi, congratulations and welcome 💖 I had 2 MCs before this pregnancy so completely understand your fear, and the truth is, the anxiety never goes away (or at least that’s what I’ve found), but after those initial 12 weeks it definitely improves. It’s completely 100% normal to not have any symptoms at 5 weeks, I didn’t start having any real symptoms until 7 weeks and even then they’d come and go and hugely vary day to day, just take it a day at a time, look after yourself and try to trust your body and keep yourself as distracted as possible so you don’t let your mind wander too much. Having an early scan definitely helps too if you have the money to do so and other than that create your own little milestones x
So sorry to hear you’ve had 2 miscarriages. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply, great advice and you’ve put me at ease with the lack of symptoms! I will definitely book in a reinsurance scan for the 8/9 week mark to help my nerves! Xx

Honestly who do people think they are messing with a pregnant person? I've had unsolicited opinions and advice from MIL, dismissive GP receptionists, poor communication between hospital and GP and people laying claim to my weekends because "when are we going to see them next". That's all on a Monday morning when I'm supposed to be working (even though I can't wait to start mat leave and already have low motivation).

Pffft. My hormones can't cope. Literally cried answering the door to an Amazon delivery.

Growth scan today and can’t believe I’m carrying over 10lbs worth of babies with potentially 3 weeks left to go 🤣

My placenta clinic appointment went really well, they are happy with baby girls growth and with how my placenta is working. At 23 weeks she's measuring on the 60th centile, I'm so proud of this little girl and she's not even here yet 😅
I still have to have extra growth scans from 28 weeks though just to be safe and also because of past kidney problems I had.
Feeling so relieved right now

At my 16 week appointment it was just the usual checking blood pressure, urine sample, carbon monoxide test thing. She asked me a few questions about how I was feeling generally and explained what would happen at the 20 week scan. My midwife didn't listen in to the heartbeat at my 16 week appointment and said it's policy not to do so until 20 weeks as it can be hard to find that early on and cause unnecessary anxiety. Although some trusts do seem to do it at the 16 week appointment! Hope it all goes ok x

At mine it was just a chat, they checked blood pressure and did the CO test where you breath into that little machine, checked urine, and gave me the option to book a tour at the hospital I'll be delivering at and offered an antenatal class x

People are so tit! 🤦🏼‍♀️ I had it this weekend with a family member who saw us out and said “are we seeing you any time soon? You haven’t called round” .. you know where I live and haven’t been to mine either?! Why are we always expected to do it!? I cried at football yesterday, it’s totally allowed 💁🏼‍♀️ hope you feel better soon lovely xxx

We just had blood pressure, Urine check, and listening to the heartbeat on the Doppler. She also referred me to physio for my dodgy hip joints. All pretty quick though

Baby is all good :) It seems he is moving more than I am feeling, presumably down to my placenta. The midwife described him as a "real wriggler" and they were happy. I'm glad I went in anyway for the reassurance. Have a scan later this week too so it'll be nice to see him 🥰

How do you know when they’re moving over / rolling? I’ve felt some movements where I’ve wondered if it was that (I can’t explain it) but my whole tummy goes hard with it for a few seconds
When he rolls I usually get a bit of him stick out of one side of my belly 😂 I can feel him push against me and then move if thah makes sense? I’ve had the hard stomach too, it feels like I’m tensing all the muscles for a few seconds but I thought that might be Brixton hicks, I can’t tell for sure though!

Yes exactly this. It's always us travelling to others. Relationships are definitely going to change when we can't/don't travel as much.

But thank you. Feeling calmer this afternoon.
