this is going to seem strange, but my belly was kind of big and hard to touch. and now it looks smaller and I can press it and squish it. I'm nearly 19 weeks and still not felt the baby move yet.
they said at the midwife last week that they don't measure or listen to heartbeats now until I go back at 28 weeks. because if they can't find the heart beat it causes mums distress and there is no where she could refer me if they didn't find one. I've not had any movement yet. they said they don't worry until 25 weeks because it's not classed as viable before then. but I'm worried because of how my belly has changed. and gone soft! has this happened to anyone else? xx
My belly used to do that too sometimes I think it's just how baby's laying. I was able to hear the heart beat at my 25 week appointment with the midwife at my doctors surgery but it probably depends where you go. You'll worry less when you can feel baby moving xx
Oh deffo @clarebear83. Pregnancy is strange at the beginning cos you know something is happening inside you but you can't see or feel it, and it is a worry. I used to worry all the time. the 16th will soon be here :). have you thought about paying for a private scan to reassure you? I had a 4d one at 16 weeks. it was lovely. xxx
@beckie88, I hope so! it's just hard not to worry! ha ha. That's probably my reason because I wasn't exactly slim before hand ha ha! have my 20 weeks scan on 16th. seems like a life time away to make sure every thing is okay.
@mich77 thanks, I really hope that is the reason for mine! never had this with my last one. I think once I've had my scan and finally feels it's little movements ill be okay. it's just horrible having no reassurance at the moment. xx
I'm 35 weeks (I think - I loose track) and even now my belly is sometimes squishy and wobbly and other times its hard to touch. I think it just depends where he's lying. @clarebear83 xx
Try not to worry too much, baby could of just moved position and gone into your back that's why you feel squishy! They didn't listen for a heartbeat at my 16week appointment but they did with my friend, apparently is because I was fat 🙈😝 but I wouldn't worry too much as I only started feeling my baby move after my 20week scan x
What the hell has happened on here? What with all the drama, all I have managed to find is that someone has said somebody is lying about being pregnant wtf ...... What the hell is going on 😐
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?

30 weeks and 1 day today! Im so excited! Would love to see other Mama's belly at 30 weeks! ☺️ People can be so mean when your pregnant everyone tells me im to small for 30 weeks and my baby is going to be born to small it really hurts my feelings and makes me worry even though my doctor said my baby is just fine and he weighs 3 pounds. People really don't understand telling a woman her belly is to small is just as bad as telling a woman she is to big. Wish my belly was bigger but every woman carr...
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Omg ladies the guy that was in the accident with my husband call my insurance and was all mad because my husband has not talked to them yet just because he was sleeping and is sore but got mad because he wants to go to the hospital because now he's hurting after he left the accident and went straight into Bingo and was in a hurry to go to bingo. She said he was a character and told her that why he did not go to the er was because of bingo.
I think not checking the heartbeat till a bit further along would be really good, my midwife took 20 minutes to find my babies heartbeat at 18 weeks and I was in tears thinking the worst, but I could feel baby and she finally found it but it was really stressful. Also you might have felt baby but not known that was what it was, it's hard to tell if you aren't sure what to expect, but it's normal not to feel your first till early 20 weeks
