should i be worried

i was sleeping from 8.30pm until 6.30am (i was tired lol) & at around 6am, i was woken up by constant rhythmic movement on my lower belly. i’m going 22 weeks & its my first time feeling constant tapping/movements. it lasted for 15-20 seconds. i realised i was lying down on my back, so i switched position to the right & finally it stopped. what causes it? #please_help

It is kinda recommended to sleep on sides only(specifically left, but of course on the right can too) and avoid the back position especially after bump is getting heavier that can effect blood flow/oxygen delivery to ur baby area; I also experienced those kicks especially in the morning when two of my sides sore to lay on and I m doing kinda half back position with soft pillow under my back yet it only last for a minute till baby is giving a sign (I just assume so) that not comfy for her… But it really depends, my friend was peacefully sleeping on her back through the second trimester with no problem, her baby is 2 yo; Triple check with your doc and don’t worry

Anyone heading down this coming month? Is there any in particular that is worth getting from there? :)

Yes I am! I’m not sure what’s worth there as some deals might be different from last time but I guess you can just go ahead and see what you need?

Hi, I'm currently 7 weeks pregnant and lately my skin has been feeling itchy at times especially at my thighs or arms or stomach area etc. But it gets better after some time. Was wondering if that's normal? Cause i've searched online and they said it's probably atopic dermatitis or ezcema or hives. #Needadvice #firstTime_mom

Painful hands and wrists

I’m on week 18 soon and experiencing painful hands and wrists. The pain woke me up several times especially at night during sleep. Anyone else experiencing the same? Read that most have this only in 3rd trimester…

rode bike at 17 weeks

hi i pillioned my husband for about a 5 min trip. is it okay? as im scared cos of the vibration of the bike will do harm to my baby

I'm at 20w and still a pillion, it's no problem! I have a friend who continued being a pillion up until her 7-8th month when she got too big! 🤣 However, as a general precaution, I would not recommend being a pillion just for your own safety

Baby movement at 19 weeks

Hi mums to be, I just hit my 19 weeks mark today and I still have yet to feel any kicks or baby movements even when I place my hands on my belly and lower part of belly no movements can be felt internally or from the hand placement… I’m a first time mum, is this normal? Also I start to feel my body getting heaty and that my heart rate seems to be faster than usual… is this normal? I’ll be going for my gender scan next week, and it’s been a month since I saw the scan of baby… do I need to worry?

Hi there! It's completely normal to not feel any kicks at 19w, some women feel it as early as 16w (like me), and others as late as 25w. So don't worry about it too much! I hope this will ease your mind until your upcoming scan :) Yes, it is also normal for your BPM/heart rate to increase as your body is pumping more blood to your body and baby. Just remember to take deep breaths and take things slowly. I hope this reassures you! Good luck, mama!
