Finding it hard

My baby boy is 12 weeks tomorrow and although I love him to bits, I'm finding it tough. It's just never ending. I miss having a full night's sleep, being able to have a shower and go to the toilet in peace, eating a hot meal etc I'm breastfeeding so the nights are tough. Not sure if I'm enjoying motherhood. Anyone ...

Anyone else?

Me, every month, as a person who has had a period for over two decades: "Why do I have a pounding headache?" "Why do I have cramps?" "Why do I suddenly feel like I need to poop?" Goes to the bathroom. Oh. 🥴

Girl pregnancies harder?

Has anyone had a girl, and not had much morning sickness? Seems like everyone has been saying they are incredibly sick with girls and not so bad with boys. What do you think?

Am I freaking out over nothing?!

I'm 15 + 2, and I noticed for the past couple of days that my tummy no longer feels sore when I roll over in bed. Is this something to be concerned over or am I really panicking over nothing? Help! 😣

Bumps

Has anyone got a bump or noticed they seem to be bigger than expected for how far they are? I’m 10 weeks and feel like I look pregnant! My belly at the bottom is sticking out to be expected, but everywhere else as well just looks bigger than what it should be at 10 weeks?

Anyone else getting really bad pelvic pain already?

I'm nearly 26 weeks and the pain in my pelvic area has been so bad the last few days. It's super bad when I get up after sitting for a long period of time. I never had this with my first pregnancy but this baby seems super low as my bump is low and they also kick super low.
