I haven’t had a flare up this...

Baby movements

I just turned 17 weeks today, and I've been feeling my baby moving for about a week now. It feels like little flutters 🥹. Idk if I have a posterior placenta yet, but I think so because with my first pregnancy, I had an anterior placenta and didn't feel her till a little after 20 weeks.

Mama’s with bad sickness… why is it getting worse?

I’ve had hyperemesis since just before 6 weeks and I’m on sickness medication. I had a few days at 12 weeks where I felt almost better but now I feel like I’m back at square one. Has it gotten worse for anyone else?
