Movements

Hey! Anyone else not feeling much movement at all, if any? I’m not convinced I’ve actually felt my baby move! I’ve heard the heartbeat last week, so not worried, but just wanted to see what others experiences are! I’m 16+5 and second pregnancy…

Rolling over

Is this my girl trying to roll over? She does this sometimes when she lays on her back and makes exactly the same noises every the time as well. We do plenty of time time and assisted rolling and exercises to help with rolling but I’m just not sure. She’s 4 months in just over a week for reference 😕

Baby back to back

I have the wonderful combination of a breech and back to back baby! I was wondering if anyone has been successful or has any advice about spinning them so they are facing your back? I know there are exercises for moving them from breech position but haven’t seen much for turning them around.

My baby kicks all day! Anyone else baby this active?

Feb mamas, I started feeling my baby kick this week, how about y’all? I notice that he’s been so active every day! It’s like the moment I sit down - whether it’s morning, afternoon, or night he starts kicking like crazy. I’m glad he’s so happy in there, but is this much movement normal? 😅
