Fetals Movements with an anterior placenta!
Yes, you should still feel movements.
I've had 2 anterior placenta now (2nd baby and this one) and I have never had concerns with movements. I have always felt/seen movements.
This video is a great example of how obvious those movements can still be.

Hi Baby 🥰🤸

Me and the kids had a lovely morning the last week with Lynsey from Lynsey Adams - Independent Midwife💟
Lynsey had a feel of baby who at the time was head down with back towards my left. I have declined all fungal measurements in this pregnancy. I dont need to know an estimate of my baby's size. I know its not going to be small 🤭
We then had a listen to baby - heart rate was regular with no abnormalities.
The kids helps to listen to baby and do my blood pressure, which was also normal.

It was also lovely to just have a catch up with Lynsey too. 🫶

The Siblings workshop with The Siblings Skills Club.

The kids had a great workshop on Saturday with Kirsty.
They learnt all about feeding babies, washing them, holding them, what sounds they make and lots more.
I would highly recommend this lovely, interactive workshop to help prep your child(ren) for the next baby.

Thank you

Thank you .birthwork and .artofselflove for a truly relaxing pregnancy circle this afternoon in Forest Row.
A lovely way to relax, open up and be present in the moment.
I wrote myself a letter for labour, which I feel may be really beneficially in the moment and created a little model of my baby in 2 colours to represent whether baby will be a boy and girls, and to remind me it doesn't matter who they are, I will love them either way. 🥰
I would highly recommend to all.
I will definitely be attending next month, if I can. 🥰

Double massage - heaven!! 🥰🥰🥰

I had a lovely morning with , and learning about massage in pregnancy/birth whilst having the privilege to be the test dummy/model 😉

I was very interesting to find where I am holding tension and it felt amazing to learn techniques of how to help relieve and release these areas of stress.
I know my face in the photos looks a little serious but I think it was because I was so comfy and settled, I was trying to not close my eyes and stay focused!

Thanks girls. 🥰
