Bump size

I’m 14 weeks + 4 and I’m concerned at the size of my bump. It seems so big, this is my 2nd pregnancy so I know you show sooner but is this normal!? I was extremely big with my 1 year old but I feel about 25 weeks right now!

C section pain 9m PP?

Since about 4m PP I’ve had really bad leg pain, especially at night. I called my GP and they minimized it to hormones. I’m probably thinner than I was pre-pregnancy so I don’t believe it’s a weight issue. Is anyone experiencing the same thing, or have any advice on what I can do? Any help would be great!

Unisom/B6

Anyone have to take it nightly? And for how long? I keep trying to cut it out but then I can’t function the next day. Ideally I’m trying to not take meds but it’s literally the only thing that stops my morning/all day sickness.
