how does your bump feel towards the end?

Just wondering if anyone else is feeling the same. Am 35 weeks now, so a few left to go, and feel stretched to the limit. The baby's breech and so I have its head wedged under one side of ribs and feet under the other, and its bum is wedged firmly in my pelvis - have been really uncomfortable today, short of breath, feeling sick and ribs really ache. It's funny as my bump looks tiny (prob as baby is wedged where it is and not hanging out the front...) - I can quite clearly feel the outline of the baby's back through my tummy. Tummy muscles still aching though and the bump feels rock hard. Is this a breech thing or a normal late pregnancy thing? It feels like the baby doesn't have much room as well - it just sort of stretches its head and legs every so often (willing it to do a somersault but there doesn't seem much hope of that!). How are everyone else's bumps who are at the same stage?

35 weeks also. Baby is head down. Still lots of turns as I can feel his feet on one side and then later on the other side - this usually when i change sides in bed. I feel v uncomfy when he stretches as he pushes up my ribs. My bump is only hard when having braxton hicks.

bloody uncomfortable.

35+1 (it's important that 1! :) )

37+4 here! He's head down but I don't think hes engaged and i think i can feel his feet kicking up on my ribs. Earlier I felt a sort of throbbing (not painful) around and above my pelvis area...was actually gonna start a thread to see if anyone experienced that!
