It’s not too early but don’t forget we’ve still got Black Friday to come if you wanted to wait a bit longer.
) and the flutters and movement has just continued to feel stronger since. 19 weeks today and I’m sure I felt actual taps on the outside while laying in bed this morning but I must’ve imagined that right? This is my first pregnancy, posterior placenta and I felt the first movement at 18w3d! It was a big flip or something because it felt like a goldfish was swimming in my bellyWith my first pregnancy I wasn’t certain I’d felt any movement until 23 weeks I think, had an anterior placenta
This time I was told it’s left lateral and I’m sure I felt flutters as early as 15 weeks (which sounds nuts I know
There’s not really any consistent patterns or anything to it which I know is normal and fine at this stage but in a way being able to feel him so early this time has felt slightly more stressful, cause I’ll have days where I wonder and have to think back if I felt anything that day 🥲🫠
I’m 24 weeks now and still don’t feel regular movements, mostly only when I lay down (she’s active every night around 10pm haha) but when I’m moving around I don’t really feel much. But I remember it took days after that first flip to feel her again. I also never felt any bubbles or flutters, just big kicks / flips.
I had a planned section with my first baby and it was the most positive experience - fire any questions my way and I’ll be happy to help!Just had my last growth scan and have been told I have to have a C-section, I’m okay with it just a bit sad I won’t experience labour etc but as long as she’s here safely then that’s all I care about really.
I am quite scared tho and not sure what to expect
Is that because they’re saying baby is big? I’m sure you’ll be totally ok, and at least have some time now to get your head around it allJust had my last growth scan and have been told I have to have a C-section, I’m okay with it just a bit sad I won’t experience labour etc but as long as she’s here safely then that’s all I care about really.

Awh that’s nice to hear! I just don’t really know what to expect lol, any recommendations on things to take? Or prepare for?
No she’s breech but also have other personal reasons that go along with that. Awh thank youIs that because they’re saying baby is big? I’m sure you’ll be totally ok, and at least have some time now to get your head around it all
I hope so, yeah just a big thing to happen ini!Honestly just take advantage of knowing what day your baby is going to be born! I did daft things like plan to have my nails done the day before, had an everything shower etc. but also changed the bedding and got everything ready at home knowing I wouldn’t be up to it straight away, same with meal prepping.Awh that’s nice to hear!

Totally agree, I hate it. I even bought that stupid tool that’s meant to help with it. It doesn’t feel right at all and just felt like I’m doing it wrong!
That was going to be next on my list but maybe I’ll just give it a miss haha! I’ll try again in a few days
I have had my appt through to speak to the obstetrician about this - is he gonna try and put me off??
Stock up on paracetamol and ibuprofen each time you shop as the limit on how many you can buy at once makes it tricky otherwise.
If your body is showing signs of labour already, it can ‘help’ but you never know if that’s the sweep or whether your body would have done it itself. Hard one really.
Ah yes good point! Fingers crossed I’m showing some signs by then… baby certainly feels like she’s ready to burst out down thereIf your body is showing signs of labour already, it can ‘help’ but you never know if that’s the sweep or whether your body would have done it itself. Hard one really.
I had an attempted sweep yesterday, but my cervix was too posterior
