Feeling Baby Move: Bonding & When to Take Action

In this episode of The MAMA Podcast, Heidi Eldridge, Founder and CEO of MAMA Academy, is joined by Esme from Birth with Esme to explore baby movements during pregnancy and how parents can get to know what is normal for their baby. Together, they discuss when to expect your baby’s first movements, how movement patterns develop throughout pregnancy, and why it’s so important to trust your instincts if something feels different or not quite right. Esme shares practical advice on what to do if movements reduce or change, when to contact your maternity team, and why you should never feel silly or like you’re wasting anyone’s time by getting checked. They also explore common misconceptions around counting kicks, sugary drinks and home Dopplers, and what parents can expect when they attend maternity triage.
