31 weeks

My little girl is in the 25th percentile and is very healthy and active. But my bump isn't getting as big as I think it should. Should I be worried at all? I work as a server and my tables think I'm lying when I tell them how far along I am - if they even believe I'm pregnant.

Feeling fobbed off

I don't know if I'm just being hormonal but I just feel like no one listens to me 🥺 I've been feeling pretty awful this week. Just feel exhausted even though I'm sleeping ok. My heart rate is constantly between 90-100 even though I'm not doing anything. Feel sick every now and then. Just generally not feeling good…

What does it mean when you get shooting pains all in between your legs when you try and walk? Is it PGP or because baby's head is so low now?

I can't describe exactly where the shooting pains are, it's just all in between legs, not sure if it's nerves/joints or what
