Brown Discharge

Sorry for the over sharing - I am a bit lost on what to do! I have had some really brown gloopy discharge, and I’m 9+3 weeks. Never had it before and didn’t with my first. Anybody else had this?

Quieter moving days without panicking?

My baby girl is mostly very active. I’m 24 + 2, and her movements aren’t exactly regular but there is a lot of them. However today she’s been a little quieter. I’ve had this before a week or so ago and the next day she was back to being a big old wriggle - am I just being paranoid?

Baby Congestion.

My baby seems to be a bit congested, sounds like phlegm in his lungs, but I only hear it sometimes. Sometimes kind of chokes because of it. He is breathing fine and has no fever. Should I be worried?

Extreme back/rib pain

I’m not sure if this is normal or not but I’ve had extreme back pain and awful pains in my side and ribs too the point I’m nearly in tears.

Baby kicking SO low

Baby tends to kick so low all the time that it practically feels like she’s kicking my cervix/vagina. I feel guilty/bad sometimes because I’ll usually shift or try to get her to stop because this is actually a bit uncomfortable for me.
