I don't really understand...

I'm 35+3 (or 36+3, I forget!!!) weeks pregnant. My bump is rock solid and I really really don't understand where the rest of this baby is supposed to fit!?

Every squirm or turn I feel I grab my tummy in terror as it just feels like he is going to break out of me Alien style.

Really, REALLY, 4 or 5 more cms have to fit in here. Where exactly?!!?

Bio oil or some other moisturiser on your tum. Are you doing pregnancy yoga? That always made me feel more comfy. If your spine and posture are good the baby has more room lengtways iyswim

I do use a mama mio (?) oil thing on my tummy, other than the dark cross running across and down my tummy it looks pretty normal. Sadly no yoga or other exercise other than work for me (still have pregnancy sickness) and I also have terrible posture and an existing pelvis issue.

I doesn't feel too uncomfortable, my back is fine and I can still manage stairs etc no problems. It just feels really really jam packed in there. I'm really worried there are 2 of them in there and one is going to be kick arse at hide and seek.
