Anyone else have an achy 🐱 bone? 😂

My pelvis area is so achy. Even crossing my legs or taking off my jeans makes me feel achy and strained. Is this normal for 28 weeks?

Do you still have weird dreams?

7 weeks pp now and for the past week or so I’m having vivid, intense dreams. The one I had last night I was in an active shooter situation and lost my partner through the crowd. It was awful. And before that one my partner was dating another person 😭😭 Is anyone having these?

Movements

Anyone else feel like the movements are literally in their cervix? My baby has always been extremely low and is head down. Her movements just feel like she's against my cervix and going to fall out. 🤣

Does anyone else have a baby more interested in sitting than rolling?

My 16w old has only rolled once from belly to back, seems like a fluke! He’s trying lately but more often that not is trying to sit up instead. He’s so smart, been tracking, making eye contact, smiling/laughing & babbling for a while. Just seems less motivated to roll around.

Not normal..

I keep seeing posts on Instagram saying it’s normal that babies do not want to be put down and want to be close to their mothers during the fourth trimester.. however I feel like mine is the opposite?! He is happy in his Moses basket / next to me at night time and doesn’t like laying on my chest. 😭🥺
