Bigger bump than imagined

I’m in week 14, and I honestly didn’t think I’d have quite as big a bump as I do but it doesn’t look like a cute pregnant belly just yet, I just feel and look extremely bloated. I have only gained 1pound. Anyone else feeling like this?

Feeling unwell in early labour?

Did anyone just feel like they’re ill in early labour? Cold and shivery, body aches and sensitivity, nausea and just feeling really off? I know I’m in early labour as I’m 3cm and had a sweep. Lots of pressure and back ache since.

If your baby was in cephalic (head down) position early, did they stay that way till birth?

My first child was head down when I was 4 months and stayed that way till I gave birth. I'm currently pregnant and this baby is head down too and doesn't seem like he's going to move out of that position either, lol. (Even though it's early and they both have/had a lot of room to move, that is/was their fav position)

how long can you let your lo sit unaided?

I took a video of my lo sat unaided for about 1 min to 90 secs then let her back on the floor. Both my mum and my mother in law message me to tell me not to let her sit for too long.... How long can we let our lo sit? My lo is 6.5 months.

Im 22w+3 with anterior placenta. From 20 to 21w baby was kicking a lot in the early mornings and evening. For the past week its been hardly anything and very light kicks. Last 2 days hardly anything.

I did have a scan on monday and baby was fine, heard his heartbeat too. But i just feel concerned as to why kicks have gotten less and lighter ??
