I just need something that will stop me from ending up on my back because that’s what I find most comfiest, and keep waking up to roll back over to my side

It’s growth scan day for me. I’m really anxious about being recommended an induction/c-section with the upcoming strikes. I’m hoping they’ll reassure me a bit today 
I have my pregnancy pillow on one side and a pillow on the other side so when I roll onto my back I’m at an angle and not actually on my back. I kept having this problem and really worrying about it, but the further along I’ve got I can’t bear being on my back for long at all and it wakes me straight up if I end up on it!
I had this pregnancy pillow which was unwieldy haha but it was great for having something at the front and back to support my bump and stop me ending up flat on my back if I started rolling - I could also tuck it between my legs to make them more comfortable in later stages, and use it to comfortably prop myself up when I was sat up in bed.

Hope everyone’s coping in the heat - remember to stay hydrated!
In the first trimester I was so hesitant about mat leave and everything. Now, we're short staffed and I'm doing the work of 4 of my role + my own cases and literally

I’ve got 9 weeks left, I’m working 2 jobs and I am tired!!! Can’t wait 
I must tell my job about my pregnancy, I'm having fierce guilt as I'm only here 6 months. But I took this job because of the benefits to get pregnant. I'm so anxious about it and need to rip the bandage off ASAP as I'm 16 weeksIn the first trimester I was so hesitant about mat leave and everything.

I still haven’t told my team because there’s not been a chance to. My manager knows and HR but that’s it. Trying to sort out my promotion but they are massively bleeping me around. Can’t see me going back. A very bitter end unfortunately.
I’ve seen a couple of midwives now who say if you wake up on your back it’s fine (your body has probably woken you up to get you to move) as long as you don’t fall asleep on your back x
My maternity cover but not really maternity cover (long story but they've employed them on a perm contract 
) has started today - I still have aaaagggeesss before mat leave so this'll be a fun and very long handover period. I work with a lot of men and I think they just prefer to forget I'm pregnant rather than talk to me about it

The contrast of this is my managers haven't even hired maternity cover for my coworker who went off in JulyMy maternity cover but not really maternity cover (long story but they've employed them on a perm contract
they've not thought about my mat cover either. Yay Local Gov 
Is it normal to feel the baby move a lot more from 30 weeks? I'm only concerned because I've been quite unwell this week with vomiting and now a chest infection where I'm coughing quite a lot. I'm going to ring the GP tomorrow to ask about something for my acid reflux/vomiting and regarding the chest infection but today I've been feeling the baby move a bit more frequently but now I'm sat still and the baby feels like they are doing back flips in there - Google tells me to be worried about increased movement as the baby could be in distress but I don't want to overreact if it's normal to feel them more around 30+ weeks.
Are you usually quite active? I have definitely felt kicks a lot stronger and more frequent the last week (I’m 29 weeks) but I sit quite a bit and notice a lot of movement because of this. If you are at all concerned please phone the midwife/hospital they would rather see you and check everything is ok
Yeh I'm usually on my feet all day so I don't feel the baby so much then, maybe one or two kicks and then when I sit down in the evening they move a lot more. I've had a few coughing fits today so I wonder if that's what's caused it. While cooking/eating I didn't feel them at all and only now they are starting to move a bit again so maybe all the coughing disturbed them
I'll definitely mention it on the phone to the GP tomorrow though and I'll ring tonight if the movements get more frequent again but I think it's settled back into my pattern again now. It's so hard to know if I'm just overthinking things I can now see him kicking, and it’s bizarre. Not sure i like it 
I felt the same at first but I love it nowI can now see him kicking, and it’s bizarre. Not sure i like it
