Depends on baby's position. With my first he was sitting really high and putting pressure on my lungs so I felt out of breath all the time. Try sitting and moving in different positions. Also, sitting on a yoga ball can both help your hips and with baby's position. That might be with trying.

If you are seriously uncomfortable or in acute pain, talk to your ob. Worth mentioning at your next appointment, but you can always ask sooner. They'd rather you asked sooner if there's anything they can help with.

I'd say it depends on how much pain you're feeling. If you're feeling uncomfortable like you have a basketball pushing on your lungs from the inside, that's normal. If you have shooting/stinging pains and/or feel like you might pass out, that's not normal, and you need to see a doctor immediately. Sleeping (you or baby) helps because you/they are unconscious. Lying down with pillows under everything might help you sleep. Walking can help an active baby calm down because it lulls them to sleep. Hang in there, you've got a ways to go yet, but there is a time limit on this feeling. You can do anything for 10 weeks, right?

If it's just uncomfortable then that's totally normal, baby is pushing on all of your organs and that is not a comfy feeling. If it's true pain then I would talk to your provider.

Normal! There was one point woth my first at like 30w where she was stretching full body but she was head down already so she was shoving her feet right under my ribs and pushing out. You could SEE her feet. I had to manually push her back. It was extremely painful and I cried a couple times. She was also 9lbs and 21in long at birth so she was pretty decent size those last 10w 🥲

Normal to feel uncomfortable but not necessarily normal that there's pain. Depends on the area and type of pain.

Omg thank you all for getting back to me ladies, appreciate your kindness I’ll definitely be calling my provider soon and see if they can atleast order an ultrasound sound to see what’s exactly going on. I just don’t remember this with my other two so it’s been pretty weird and very uncomfortable, praying these ten weeks fly by cz this momma

Yep normal. With my daughter she was always pushing my ribs or putting her feet under my ribs and it was horrible! I’m currently 28 weeks with a boy and it’s all low with him, always kicking my bladder which really hurts and the kick kinda vibrates down my pubic bone which feels horrible. I’m dreading when he’s bigger! I’ve had ultrasounds at 6, 8, 12, 15, 20 and 22 weeks this pregnancy and all is fine and normal.

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.

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.

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.
