I know this happens to everyone, I remember my older sister constantly complaining about it in all 3 of her pregnancies, but I feel like I have broken ribs :(, im 33+5 an LO's feet seem to be constantly there. I can manage to get her to move but shes back in the same position like 30seconds later, could I be hurting her at all because sometimes there is a slight click when I attempt to erm unhook her, is anyone else getting this?

You poor thing. I sympathise because I had the same thing for a few weeks around the same stage you're at (I'm now 40+6). I don't think anyone except my DH really had any idea how excruciatingly painful it was. I also had a bad cough at the time, and every time I had to cough I was just doubled up in agony. I'm afraid I don't really have anything useful to say, except that it stopped, quite suddenly around 35 weeks IIRC - don't know if the baby moved or what. Oh, and I'm sure you're not hurting the baby by poking her - she can always move out of the way. Also, don't be afraid to take some paracetamol - it's fine to take in pregnancy. I didn't want to take too much, but I used to take it at night so that at least I got a bit of sleep. Really hope you feel better soon.
