Baby Moving

Does anyone else's baby move a lot? I swear since he started his big movements he moves all the time. Most of his moves are big ones too. I actually kinda love feeling him it's one of my fave things about being pregnant and luckily have not had him hit my ribs yet 🤣.

Back pain

Hi, I am experiencing bad back aches and really struggling to sleep with the discomfort. I am 17 weeks and I didn’t think this would start until later on in pregnancy. I’ve tried pregnancy pillows but they just don’t seem to help. Does anyone have any more suggestion please?

Extreme exhaustion

Hey all, just turned 9 weeks and I am so incredibly exhausted. This is my second and I definitely didn’t feel this tired with my first. Anyone else in the same boat?
