Only 24 weeks pg - Massive, uncomfortable bump...

And I have a 16mo dd to look after and a part time job.

I have just ordered a bump support to see if that helps. Any other ideas?

It feels like the baby is tearing muscles when I walk around and after walking a while I get a sharp pain.

I am worrying as I still have 16 weeks to go...

Oh I was like this with DS from about the same time - I tried a bump support but it didn't help me. My friend swore by hers though. I would just walk as little as I could get away with and hold it with my hands (which didn't help either!). It didn't get worse for me though so you may be fine.

Over the bump trousers...? Cosy at least!

You might find that the growth will slow down now and your body will get used to the bump... 2nd time round they pop out early, but they can only get so big- surely???!?! (she says hopefully, 28wks pregnant with no. 2 and feeling like a heffalump).

26 weeks pregnant with no.3 and gi-normous here! I feel the same as when I was full term with the other two.

I have over the bump trousers.

Has anyone tried a belly bra?? I seem to remember seeing them ages ago and laughed at them! Maybe I will give that a go.

It is awful though, hopefully I wont get any worse
