Yeah it’s normal

It’s to make sure everything is okay with baby

They check fluid around baby and cord to make sure there’s nothing wrong with it

I’ve had these scans a few times for reduced movements xx

Yes, it’s just to absolutely make sure baby is okay🥰 they don’t really tend to do it earlier in the pregnancy but closer to due date, they may do additional checks. I’ve personally not had it when i’ve been in for checks for reduced movements, as baby was earlier on and also piped up on the CTG so they felt it was all okay. ❤️

Have you been in before? I believe if you go twice they’ve got to then scan you x

Completely normal it’s just to make sure there’s nothing else going on with baby, blood flow and fluid etc I’ve had 2/3 as constantly worried about babies movements 🤦‍♀️

This was my first time in for reduced movements. Midwife done my fundal and i’ve just checked the badger app baby has went from 90th percentile to 97th percentile measuring 3 weeks ahead now. I desperately want a water birth so I hope they don’t suggest an induction 😢

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.
