Baby movements

I'm 21+3 and up until Sunday, was feeling baby more with each day. I didn't feel any movement on Sunday and have had limited movements the last two days. Has anyone else experienced the same at this stage of pregnancy?

36 weeks pregnant FTM question

I just started having cramps (feels like period cramps) and low back pain. I did have to sit for work for most of the day so I figured that caused the low back pain, but now with the cramps I'm feeling nauseous and needed to lie down. Is this normal at this time or anything to be concerned about?

Heartburn

Just ranting because I can’t sleep. Everyone told me that heartburn would stop once baby dropped. I’m officially past my due date, baby has dropped and somehow the heartburn is getting worse! I’ve tried Gaviscon and it didn’t help at all. I’m so ready for this baby to arrive 🤦🏻‍♀️
