bruised / achey bump

I'm 26 weeks now and my bump feels really achey. When I go to bed and lie on my side it aches, it almost feels as if I'm bruised under the skin. If I lie on my back my skin feels really tight, so I have to bend my knees.
Is this just part of being pg or do I need to worry?

Feels pretty normal to me.
I'd avoid lying flat on your back at this point too as it's not recomended.
Try putting a cushion between your legs on your side or a slight pillow under your bump.

SEEMS pretty normal sorry

Probably said feels in empathy as i'm due to give Birth myself soon!

Sounds normal...about time you started sleeping surrounded by a variety of pillows propping up different part of you! I used to have one under my bump and one between my knees...

Thanks for the advice, feel more reassured now. Will try with extra pillows tonight
