Whats wrong with my bump

I've always had a very top heavy bump and now I'm 35 weeks and it's just getting worse. It's super uncomfortable, almost split into two solid parts at the top and refuses to round out, staying flat at the front with a droopy bit at the bottom....its taking up all my available space. I can hardly sit down without it ...

Weird Cramps

So every time I turn in a certain way, I get really severe cramping. It doesnt feel like a period cramp, it’s more like I’ve pulled or twisted something and then after about 30-60 seconds it settles down. It’s only on my right side and closer to my hip than anything else. Does anyone have any idea what this could be?

I still have morning sickness

And I’m 14 weeks. I have to remember to eat as well because not eating also makes me throw up? It’s not as bad as the first trimester, but is it possible I’ll be one of those women who are tortured with sickness the whole time
