Baby movements

Baby girl usually moves so much and kicks me like crazy. I’m 24 weeks today but she hasn’t been moving a lot the past couple days and I’m so worried. Has anyone else experienced this? Everyone tells me to only worry if she’s not moving in the 3rd trimester but I’m so worried about her.

How to ease congestion?

So my 3.5 month old is struggling with congestion and we're not sure how to help. Our house has really high humidity levels which is causing mould in our bedroom, so we've had to start using our dehumidifier to stop the air being too moist and stop the mould coming back.

Does a phased return still count as sickness or does it count as back to work even though only doing a couple of days a week?

I have been signed off sick for almost 5 months now (work related stress). I want to return back on a phased return of 2 days a week to begin with. Does a phased return still count as sick? Just worried, I cannot afford to take a pay cut if it comes up to 6 months and they stop paying me.

Does baby moving cause gas to move?

Hi everyone! Baby's quite active, and it's definitely baby kicking me as it's not like gas and I can feel it hitting my hand. However, I'm also really gassy! Does anyone know if being gassy causes more movement, or whether baby kicking can increase gas moving?! Or is it just a coincidence that I'm gassy and getting...
