Hey ladies! This is my first pregnancy so every little thing scares me and I always wanna run to the hospital just to make sure she’s okay,but I’m trying to avoid that so just need some advice! My baby girl isn’t super active.. I don’t really feel movement during the day it isn’t until I’m laying down or sitting still when she will start kicking.. is that normal? I do work in a nursing home and I’m consistently on my feet all the time! I try not to stress too much about it because my last scan of her, everything was the way it should be! Also, I’ve been having mild cramps throughout the day, some of the are strong to where I have to bend over or sit down for a minute.. is that Braxton Hicks or actual contractions? I see my doctor on Tuesday. Last week, she checked my cervix and said it was softening up and hasn’t dilated yet... and then I’m also having soooo much pressure on my lower stomach.. I’m pretty sure I waddle at this point.., is any of this normal? Just making sure I’m not the only one experiencing this... and also does it mean labor is near? Because I’m miserable 😂😭😭
