My bump is so high and uncomfy I feel like it's crushing me and I can't breathe ! I can't find a comfy spot and it's awful! Is it actually possible to grow a baby that's too big for your body!!!!!!!

Hello! I hear you! 39 weeks here. DD1 was 10.5lbs and at this stage last time I measured 37/38. I am measuring 44 weeks Hmm suffice to say I'm freaking out about the size of this baby.
I am in no way overweight, in fact I am very slim everywhere else, but I have this giant bump and feel like-

  1. I am going to snap in half
  2. my pelvis is going to crack and my insides are going to fall out.
  3. I am going to suffocate from lack of oxygen as the baby is taking up so much space.
  4. my stomach is sitting at about the height of my tonsils meaning that everything I eat just sits there undigested.

I know all if this is unlikely but I'm SO UNCOMFORTABLE I want to cry.
Hope you don't mind me having a whine. I really need it!

How far along are you? I'm only 17 weeks and dealing with that already.

Last baby was 7lb14 will see how this one will be

Don't mind at all I'm doing nothing but moan at the minute! I never remember being as bad as this first time round, she was born 8lb 4oz and seem I'm only 5 foot 1 and size 10 that's pretty big for me so I know this fella is going to be bigger!!! I keep trying to do jobs but can't!!!

This started for me a few days ago (28 weeks) midwife says the baby had turned breech and that is why it is suddenly worse.
I went swimming today and can recommend - it felt lovely :)

Uh I have a friend on FB who does nothing but moan. Her DS was born 2 weeks early lucky cow (perfectly healthy btw) and the whole pregnancy was moan moan moan, now he's here it's moan moan moan.

I have had the pregnancy from hell. Have vomited non stop. Have SPD. Blood noses. Migraines. The lot. And now I am contemplating the horror that is childbirth.

But I have been actively avoiding venting my misery to anyone publicly because I have seen how annoying it is when other people do it.

So DH has had to cop the brunt of it.

It's the least he can do though it's all his fault. Hmm

Although he's no good listening either. He says things like 'I know honey but surely it can't be that bad'... what.did.you.just.say.to.me???!!![angry][angry][angry] (Then I turn into a dragon and start breathing fire out my nostrils).
No idea. He has NO IDEA. The rage.
Anyway I might be feeling a titch more agitated tonight as he's decided tonight's a great night to get wasted...
Never mind that he would need to drive me to the hospital if i went into labour.
He's been banished to the spare room.

And I am NOT getting up tomorrow morning with DD. I'm having a lie in and he can get her breakfast with a hangover.
