Burning bump

Currently 30+4. Just wondering, if anyone else has had a horrid burning sensation on their bump. For the last couple weeks at the top right hand side of my bump I have been having this burning feeling on and off. It feels like the feeling is spreading over more of the bump.
Spoke to a doctor and he said it's because of my uterus just being stretched.
It feels like it's getting more unbearable and lasting longer, so just wondering if anyone else has had this and if so was there anything to help the pain.

Can’t give you any advice as such but have had the same thing since about 17 weeks, getting worse the bigger I get. Was told the same thing by my midwife but am going to bring it up to my obstetrician next week too.

I’m currently going through the same thing on my left side the doctors told me it’s nothing to worry about but the only thing that’s kinda helped me is pain killers

Me and my partner have found sprinkling cold water onto your bump and then massaging it with the tips of the fingers (no nails) gives me the most relief, it completely distracts my mind from the burning of my bump

I’m 30 +4 tomorrow I’ve not had that but belly feels like it’s burning but no pain I get a cool cloth over bump and cools it down and he loves water so Luke warm bath may help to cool bump down xxx

Just so glad I'm not the only one in this boat. I never had this with my first so it was a bit of a worry. Will try what you girls have recommended. Thank you x

I’m a day behind u sharp stabbing pains as I’m in early labour I’m up an down all night I shower or bath daily but then end up having to run the bath several times throughout the day and night to just sit there to reduce how much my belly burns or reduce the pain from being in early labour xxx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Baby Movements

Hello, I’m a FTM currently 18W5D pregnant. I’ve been getting this tugging feeling in my stomach after I eat, it’s uncomfortable but not painful. I don’t know whether that’s the baby moving or round ligaments pain.

I’ve also been getting round ligament pain which is either a sharp stabbing pain or a stretching sensation. These happens whether or not I’ve eaten while the tugging feeling is only after I’ve eaten.

So, could the tugging feeling be the baby or something else.

Anyone getting a private scan at exactly 6weeks

I just wanna know my baby is actually there after losing my first at 5w

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.
