Hello,
one just come on for a bit of reassurance.. so I have a low lying placenta and haven’t had any moments yet from baby.. I’m currently 22 weeks and 4 days but also I haven’t got a big bump yet. Is this normal?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I only started to feel movement about 23 weeks (despite having a posterior placenta and being petite, so everything I read said I'd feel them sooner!)

Was everything normal at your 20 week scan? If so, I definitely wouldn't worry, some of us just feel them later x

I didn't have an obvious pregnancy bump (to anyone not "in the know") until I was about 25 weeks. And even then it was only obvious in tight clothing. I also only started to feel noticeable regular movement around then as well. You'll have a midwife appointment around 25 weeks and that's the point at which they say you should start to be feeling daily movement.

My 20 week scan couldn’t have gone better! They said she was growing really nicely and there was no concerns :)
