Baby movement

Baby’s movements have been significantly stronger the past couple of days, do they get some sort of growth spurt at 27-28 weeks or something? Feels like they’ve gone from taps to big thuds so quickly

Baby’s position

My midwife has said baby is head down but I feel all movement quite low, near my belly button. Is this normal? Surely if baby was head down I would feel kicks near my ribs? It’s worrying me a bit as I am coming up to 36 weeks..

Exhaustion making me sick

Hi ladies. I just need to vent a bit. I have an 8-month-old baby girl and left my job to look after her. I do chores at home, cook, and take care of her. I was coping, but now I'm not anymore.

Eating

FYI this is about me... I've always had problems eating "correctly" so to speak. When I was with my ex/bd it got worse and my depression took over. Now I have to force myself to eat or I'll starve until dinner. I make sure my daughter eats but me I could care less. Has anyone else gone through this?

Lower back pain

Hi everyone, I’m 22 weeks pregnant with twins and all day today I’ve had the worst lower back pain/sciatica. The only way I can describe it is like a dull aching pain. Has anyone else had this or know any tips to make it ease? My partner currently has a hot water bottle on my sciatica pain for me

Very uncomfortable!

33+3! I've been having what can only be described as twinges very very low down for the last 40 minutes. Slightly like lightning crotch, just a more irritating sensation, doesn't last as long and happens more frequently. Has anyone else had this?
