Where are you all actually feeling your baby move? Like where on your abdomen? Because I’m feeling little kicks quite low down.. near my cervix/bladder and a friend I spoke to mentioned that it doesn’t seem normal to be that low and now I’m stressing out

Been in today as a standard thing I have to go every Friday for monitoring after a high BP reading months ago. Anyway, I’m normally in and out but today I was there hours on end.

Just a vent to say I’m struggling today, my 5 week old has not let me put her down at all so I’ve barely had 5 minutes to myself. She’s constantly been feeding every hour since last night so my nipples are so sore, I feel drained and touched out. She finally fell asleep and I’ve had to wake her up to do the school ...

What are you ladies doing who have pregnancy sickness and GD? The only thing that is helping with the nausea is carbs so I don’t know what else to eat. Also, I can’t have water because it makes me sick so I’ve been drinking milk, homemade smoothies and lucozade sport which I can’t have anymore. I can sometimes vomi...
