Feels like everything is going to fall out

I’m 21 weeks pregnant and for a while I’ve noticed everything feels heavy and my vagina aches a lot. It feels like everything is going to fall out - especially when I go to the toilet. There’s a constant uncomfortable sensation and last night I was in so much pain. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this?

Sooo tired

At this point (36 weeks) I am so incredibly tired. I hear this is normal but I just want to check in. I can’t stay awake an entire day anymore, I do a little work and then feel worn out, and I feel overwhelmed with things I need to do. Anyone else feeling this way?

Don’t judge me 🫣

I had such a stressful day and this was the only thing that made me happy today. Now I feel bad for eating it, I hope baby will be fine. This is my first time to eat it during pregnancy and it is deep fried, however it was little bit on raw side 😟
