I am finding it so hard to sit at the table and eat a meal, or at the computer, because of the pressure it puts under my ribs and across the upper half of my tummy. At a bbq on Sat night I felt like such a doofus because I had to sit leaning back whilst reaching out to the table to cut my steak! And then I can hardly eat anything anyways because I feel so full and uncomfortable so quickly.
I got so excited the other night because I physically felt bub drop down and the top part of my belly was heaps softer and I could sit forward, but that only lasted for about an hour
Don't get me wrong, I want bub to bake as long as he or she needs to, but I figure I can't be the only one of us that is this uncomfortable - I just needed to have a whinge!
Oh you poor thing. It is funny what us preg women have to do just to get through the everyday things and it only gets harder the bigger bub gets. I hope bub moves down again, perminantly, for you really soon.
I hear you too! And I still have about 10 weeks to go!! But at 153cm, the widest part of my belly is right at bench/sink/whiteboard ledge/table height, and this bub seems to be up under my ribs already too! With DS I had pressure on my ribs for most of the last trimester - he had nowhere else to go given he was 51cm and I'm so short! And already people are asking how many weeks to go I look that big! Longer arms would definitely come in handy from now on! lol
it's reassuring to know I'm not the only one feeling this way!
*whispers so bub doesn't hear* my whinge might have worked because we seem to have snuggled down a bit more and am feeling much less pressure this morning - let's hope we stay that way
Hopefully you won't have too much longer to endure!
I haven't had the problem you're experiencing, but bubs seems to like snuggling up under my ribcage at the moment, it isn't very comfortable! I have to keep reminding myself it's all for a good cause!
Okay so I either need longer arms....
