I’m currently 35 weeks and for the past 2 weeks baby has been moving like crazy, but since my midwife appointment 2 days ago, they’ve really slowed down, I still feel movements here and there but no crazy roll and turns like before.

I’m 17 weeks and for the past 2 weeks I’ve had daily headaches. I’m not sure if the insomnia and waking up at 5am everyday just due to not being able to sleep isn’t helping, I never had this with my first I could sleep all day and night no problem. Anyone else?
