Hello all.
Well last week I posted up that I thought I felt the baby move. (bubble type feelings) They only lasted a day and I haven't felt them since. I am now 20 weeks exactly today and for the last week or two I have had strange aches and pains:
Firstly - Constant ache/pain in my ribs - almost like I've done 200 sit ups a day! I'm presuming this is everything moving about and stretching to make way for baby? (I'm only 4ft11 and have a very short body and long legs, so there isn't much space)
The second pain is the one confusing me, am I feeling the baby move? I've never heard it described as painful.... I'm getting stabbing, aching pains just below my belly button, I've had a lot of IBS and trapped wind so I know it's not that... but it's very uncomfortable and only tends to settle when I lie on my back (which is a big no no, so sleeping is a nightmare!) Could it be the baby moving and the fact I have IBS means my body isn't reacting well... Or am I just soft?
haha, any help or similar situations would be great.
I have my 20w scan on Friday but it seems forever away! :)
