Struggle sleeping

Anyone had any issues with sleeping due to breathing!? So I’m 36 years old, and 34.5 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I never had this issue with my first and I put on the same weight, I’ve gained like 4 stone which sounds a lot! And it feels a lot! Everyone keeps telling me I look fine, and I don’t feel too bad....

Baby movements - overweight Mama!

I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant and have yet to feel baby move. I’m only 5ft 2 and am nearly 14 stone so am well aware I’m overweight. Do we think me not feeling baby is just because of my weight or should I be worried? Previously lost a baby at 22 weeks so am very anxious!

TMI

I’m getting a small amount of light pinkish discharge when I wipe, it’s been about 4 days and it’s not every time I go to the loo! I haven’t had it all day and then tonight I’ve just been to the loo, wiped and I’ve got the same - is this early signs of MC? I’ve not got any cramping etc either.

Tired & sore mama!

I’m so sore. Like whole body, bones/joints aching, struggling to pick up my 10wk old let alone my other children sore. I’m 31 and manage 3 young kids by myself (oldest is 3 this month). I know my body has been through a lot. I know stress doesn’t help, however it’s unavoidable at this moment. It makes me want to cry...

Working

Movements

Are people feeling a lot of movement at 17 weeks? This is my second pregnancy but my placenta was anterior last time I’m sure I have felt flutter like movements this time but not consistently just wondering if that’s normal at this stage?
