I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant and i’m feeling less movement this week compared to last week. On top of being overweight I have an anterior placenta and baby is measuring on the smaller side at 24th percentile. The movement overall took longer to come, I wasn’t definitely feeling him until 19 weeks and since then it’s been inconsistent but last week it picked up and he was really moving and almost every night at the same time he’d kick. The past few days I have still felt him but it’s 3-4 kicks total for the whole day. My OB says fetal movement shouldn’t be consistent until 28 weeks but i just wanted input on if this sounded normal or anyone else had experienced this before.

Back in mid-March, I left my job and started looking for a new one. Days later I found out I was pregnant. My husband suggested that I stay home because any job I found would likely pay around $15–16/hour, and we agreed it made more sense for me to focus on the pregnancy and household. Since then, I've taken over all of the cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, and other household responsibilities.

My husband works 12-hour overnight shifts on a Panama schedule and he works additional "part-time" shifts, maybe 4-6 a month. These which are during 8am-4pm. A lot of the time, he'll finish an overnight shift and go straight to one of these extra shifts at the start of his weekend. This gives him 1-2 days off with me a week at the most in which he is incredibly exhausted. What seems to make things even harder is that he's constantly switching between overnight and daytime schedules so that we can have a “more normal life together” on weekends.

Between the long hours, extra shifts, and changing sleep schedule, he's tired all the time.
I've offered to go back to work to help reduce the workload, but he says it wouldn't really change anything. The extra shifts pay very well, and he wants to keep building our savings, so he says he'd probably continue working just as much either way.
Since I'm already handling the household chores, cooking, and errands, I'm struggling to think of what else I can do to make things easier for him.
Has anyone been in a similar situation, either in a marriage or while raising a family with a demanding work schedule? Is there anything I can do to help him feel more energetic, motivated, or just generally happier?
