Pregnancy

Is it normal to feel like this ???? (possibly TMI)

Yesterday evening went to bed feeling as if was ready to drop despite being only 22 weeks pg with no.3.
Bump was hard, felt like my stomach contents were coming out my throat every time I bent down and my down below bits felt swollen as if there was a massive pressure behind them (the way they do after orgasm or when trying to poo when pg with constipation) - told you TMI

Feel like this again today, hot, bothered, bump uncomfortably big, down below bits feel huge even when walking!!!!!!!

Any advice would be great thanks

This sounds pretty normal. The bump hardness was possibly Braxton Hicks; the swollen bits are a result of all the extra blood pumping around you and the stomach contents thing is a result of your organs being squashed/pushed up higher inside your abdominal cavity.

Great, isn't it?

LOL in great sympathy mosschops. At least you're still laughing (but don't laugh too hard.....)
No advice (I'm too early on this pg to feel any of this and can't remember 22 wks last time....) but cheers for the heads up [wrong analogy?] and for making me smile
