If I'm being over pedantic and worrying over nothing please feel free to tell me! It's my first baby so I really have no idea what feels right or wrong.

My main concern is that I have a complete and utter loss of appetite. I expected it in the first trimester with the morning sickness but I can only eat a quarter of a meal, occasional snacks and the thought of eating a meal in the evening makes me feel physically sick

The second small worry, is whenever I go out for a walk I get an aching pain in my right buttock and the right hand side of my stomach has an ache too- almost like a stretching feeling. I went for a walk earlier for around 2 hours and now my bump feels really heavy!

Thank you in advance

@glasshalffull0 I would say those things are very normal. I didn't eat much throughout my whole pregnancy and she was still huge!

As you progress in your pregnancy, ligaments etc stretch and so your body can feel very different
appetite - can be usual and your bump gets bigger and pitches up on your tummy etc
i deffo found this and also has dreadful reflux because of this
