Tight bump. Ow.

Just a moan! My bump is feeling so tight now, all the time, that it's impossible to feel comfortable anywhere or in any position (except the bath). I'm 38 weeks so could have a while to go! Any comfort tips?

I can only offer my sympathy as I am in the same situation myself, although know that relief is imminent with c-section on Wednesday! I found lying on my side and resting belly on DS worked until he told me I was squishing him, other than that, lots of pillows in an increasingly elaborate arrangement seems to be the only thing that helps at the moment. Sorry I cant be more helpful, but you are not alone!

I agree with bungalow

I'm also 38 weeks and the only thing that works for me at the moment is lying on my side clutching a soft pillow to the bump and placing another pillow between my legs. Obviously while keeping the Gaviscon bottle within reach!
