Rib pain/ stomach tightness

Hi everyone,
I’m 25+4 and since about 20 weeks been getting rib pain, mainly on right side and a stretchy pain across my stomach. It feels like the skin is stretching so much it’s sensitive & painful 😣
I can relieve it in some positions, but it’s worse after sitting long periods or eating big meal.
I understand why as my baby grows, and thinking it’s going to get worse as I expand!!
Anyone else have this? Does a pregnancy belt help??

Would put this post myself I'm 27 weeks 1 day and my tummy starting to feel very uncomfortable now and sore xxx

I’m 26 weeks currently, and get the same feeling it’s really uncomfortable especially in certain positions, but whenever I feel it I just try and get into a comfier position if possible to try and ease the feeling xx

I’m 27+1 and have been feeling this for a couple weeks now, especially when I’m trying to sleep. It hurts the most when I’m lying down and it feels like the skin is on fire and stretching! Sometimes using my pregnancy pillow helps but other nights I need another pillow or balled up blanket right under my ribs. If it gets really bad I’ll get up and put Sudocrem on.

I’m sorry to hear you’ve all got this too!! It’s reassured me I’m not alone 😌 we can do this 👊🏼

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Possible blood clot on the lung /VQ scan

Has anyone had a VQ scan for possible blood clots. As I need to have to have one and concerned due to the radiation and possible risk of baby having childhood cancer.

Review at 36 weeks

Has anyone had An anesthesia review at 36 weeks?
What is this for as I never had this with my first?
I am being scanned every 3 weeks as my first was small and now my second is measuring small.

Baby girl names

Love pretty shorter names such as Millie, Gracie, Lottie. My husband only likes Millie and I’m struggling to find anything else he likes! However I’m not 100% on Millie.

Love Lilly, Maisie, Isabelle, Tilly but sadly can’t use these sadly.

We have a little boy called Oliver (Ollie).

Middle name will be Rae.

Any ideas?🙈

Anyone else still feeling really good

If I hadn’t of had a scan I wouldn’t believe I was pregnant. I was tired with sore boobs and this is still the case but no where near as much. I feel so good. I am incredibly bloated though but I can deal with that. My first pregnancy I suffered with dizziness really bad so this is a pleasant change.
