Movement and sleep advice needed

Hi! 1st time pregnancy here. I'm 20 wks and I finally felt baby about a week and a half ago...it was hilarious. I was teaching a class and it just felt like baby was knocking tryina get out. There's no doubt in my mind it was baby. That's a distinct feeling. I felt this same intense movement about once a day for 4 or 5 days. Hubby even got to feel it. Then it stopped well it didn't stop but the feeling changed. It's not as intense and it's to the point that sometimes I wonder if it is baby at all or just my tummy rumbling. Since it's so early I'm wondering if this is normal or if I should be concerned. We have an ultrasound Thursday an I think I'll feel better once I see baby again.

Also...I can't seem to stay asleep. No problem falling asleep but I'm up by 2 and really restless until work time. Any advice?! I need sleep! Thanks in advance!

    As for movement, my baby has achieve days where I absolutely know it's movement, other days like yesterday i question pokes and rolls, was it was it not? I think it's because baby can move around quite a bit right now, so the closer get are to the front the move distinct the movement and the farther back the more questionable. Baby can also face feet out front one minute & feet toward ur back the next. I've been told after 28 or so weeks it's more constant movement. As for sleep, I can't stay asleep either, awake every few hours, half asleep from like 3 to when my alarm goes off...I just can't get comfy.

    For sleep, I recommend a good pregnancy pillow, exercise, and Tylenol Pm is also an option

    1. Don't be concerned. 

    2. Ditto the pregnancy pillow. 





    I'm not new. I just hate The Bump.

    Thanks ladies! I have the pregnancy pillow but I find that bc it doesn't have a pillow case (do they make them for that?) it is soooooo hot. I can't stand the material.

    I just put a regular case around the top part of mine. The one I have says machine washable, but I still prefer the feel of my own pillow case touching my face.
