Dear Moms/Moms-to-be , i need your advice. Being around 12 weeks and 5 days I went down with a seasonal cold(normal symptoms:blocked nose,cough,fever etc) during the heatwave that we experienced a few weeks ago in the UK. I didnt take any medication and managed to ride the whole thing out on lemon,honey tea and gargling salt to help with sore throat and vinegar to manage the fever. I had mild fever for about 2 days(again coudnt get the exact cause of high temperature due to it being baking outside and inside the house) vinegar helped.
Now the issue:I used to be able to feel flutters of the baby moving about (before the cold) they were very slight but i knew baby was there and it was all fine. Now...its been a week since the heatwave and i am out and about i no longer feel those flutters as much as i try and sense them out. I still have the morning sickness and gagging which i take as a positive but the movement is no longer there as it used to be.
A few times during those painfull night i woke up and i was sleeping on my stomach -in panic i rolled back on the left or my back.
I am not 14.1weeks and this is my first baby. I am aware that u cant feel kicks before the 16th week and even later if its ur first child. But now I can only have my brain engaged on this topic. Have you or anyone you know experienced something like this? Help! Xxx
Felt flutters 14 to 15 weeks with pregnancy 1. And then it stopped until week 17 and then it was clearly baby moving from then onwards. That early on you really shouldn't worry about movement at all. It's not something most moms feel and could be a myriad of things and not even baby. Your illness really won't affect baby in anyway and neither will how you sleep. I'm pregnant with a 9 month old and kicks and elbows my stomach regularly, my midwives and doctors have all said to not worry, baby inside is well protected and won't be affected by things external like that.
I felt flutters 11-12 weeks and slept on my tummy until 17 weeks...only stopped because it was making me feel sick :) Sleeping only really becomes a problem when you have a bump...but sleeping on your belly wont hurt the baby :) know plenty that did it long into the third trimester :) the only no no is sleeping on your back xx
Many mums feel flutter like movements early on. I did myself both times. But it's unlikely to be baby, but rather your uterus growing & changing as baby grows. This does settle. Baby is still way too small for you to be feeling movements. Obviously if your concerned about anything you should contact your midwive & she can check you over for reassurance. But it's rare you would feel or get a pattern of baby movements until 20+weeks. And it's not until 24 or 26weeks they say you'll start to notice & need to be aware of babies regular movements. I was so unwell at the beginning of both my pregnancies. Chest infection one time. Bronchitis the next. I did worry if they were ok but both times they were. They are very well protected in there & use most of our immune system & energy hence why we commonly get unwell! Lol
If you're worried I would go and see your midwife. Like you said it might just be that it's early and the baby might be in a different position so you aren't feeling the flutters as much. Also lying on your stomach at this time won't harm your baby so don't worry yourself hun. When you get bigger you won't go on your stomach your brain just won't let you lol like I said I think you should go and check baby is okay if you're really stressed. At 12 weeks I started bleeding and went crying and screaming into the hospital thinking I had a miscarriage and I got a scan the next day and now I have a 7 month old lol hope that helped a little bit x
Hi
I am into my 15 week now
But since last two days am not having good feeling....I just feel something is wrong inside wid d kid...all my symptoms r too less
Morning sickness is gone....Metallic taste of my tounge is also less....and I feel pain in my abdoman twice or thrice which is very minor though
What should i do i am very confused
Already have gone through 5 scans because of changing gynec
Just feel that untill i hear the heartbeat or see my kid i wont b ok....got sleepless nights
So now that I have my test strips when do I start testing! I am on day 2 of af today and it lasts about 3-4 days normally. I have about a 26-27 day cycle. Any help would be very appreciated thank you!!😀
I know Is so early but i feel flutters it feels so weird but i love it 🥰

Am I wrong to be upset? Last night I was running a fever, weak, tired, sore, my left boob feels like it got used as a punching bag. I asked my husband to call out of work today to help me with the kid so I could get some rest. He went to work. I texted him this morning. Part of me thinks I mean. The other part of me thinks I was fine for saying that because he should've stayed home with us.
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?
@mum2sky @sara-lou86 @noshinxoxo @winterbaby95 thank you all very much :)
