36 weeks tomorrow and pregnancy is getting harder to love

I’ve absolutely adored being pregnant up to now, feeling my little girl wiggle and move around brings pure joy to my heart, but Christ as she gets bigger I just want her out! The last few days have been especially hard because it just hurts to move, if I bend down, my bump hurts, if I sit down, my bump hurts, if I w...

Heartburn

34 weeks pregnant. I had severe heartburn last night from 2 AM to 6 AM. I couldn't sleep and tried eating banana, watermelon, dry bread, and milk to ease the pain but didn't work.

Sitting/lying down

How does your baby get from sitting up to lying down? My lil boy will fling himself backwards or sideways and hit his neck/head, he's not very graceful 😂 just don't want him to hurt himself. I make him lie down if I've gotta leave the room for anything because I'm too scared of him sitting without me being on the…

38weeks today and been having tightness, period like cramps and back aches every 30mins-1 hour last 1-2 mins each. Much more painful throughout the night. Could the be early contractions or just painful Braxton hicks?

There is no pattern to them and some not as painful.

Sat up too fast while I was driving yesterday and have been feeling twinges in my lower stomach since

I'm 13 weeks and was on a long 4 hour drive yesterday, so naturally I was sinking into my seat. I jumped up to sit up straight and felt a sudden sharp pain in my stomach, so had my husband hold his hand there to just keep it warm because it was a little bit like whiplash but where the baby is. The pain mostly went...
