23+5 and feeling squished.

[OnNaturesCourse]

Especially when sitting and always when slightly reclined i.e when lying watching TV in bed.

It feels like the bend in my body squishes my insides.

I feel that it's a little early to be feeling this "out of room" feeling. It is my first pregnancy though so perhaps not? Anyone else get this?

The squished feeling leaves me breathless and lightheaded a little.

I'm 5'10 and normally a slim build.

Tell me I'm not the only one? It's really starting to stop me relaxing comfortably!

Are you wearing loose maternity clothing? That does help. I lived in pjs and over the bump jeans.

I'm 24+4 and feeling the same. I'm also far more out of breath than I thought I would be at this stage. My bump (when comparing to others) seems quite small but baby measured a bit big so I'm thinking that might be it. No help but you're not the only one!! (I'm wearing loose clothing all the time)

Yeah. Today for example I am in under the bump shorts that are so big they kinda fall down (pjs) and vest. No bra.

I have noticed that my bump support, should I wear it, can make it worse if its worn slightly too low/high or after eating.

Could it be baby squishing everything already?

Remember at 24 weeks your baby is nearly 11 inches long so it's normal to feel a bit squashed

I've suffered with the breathlessness for a few weeks now. I feel as though I can't get enough air into my lungs. I've been told it's fairly normal and to try and sleep on your left side.
Breathlessness can also be a sign of anaemia though, so it's still worth mentioning if at your next midwife appointment or, if it gets worse, see your gp and they can arrange a blood test.

Yeah, I've been checked and everything is OK.

Just seems too early to feel squished (since everyone I know loves to remind me I have AGES to go!) and it's making me really uncomfortable already.

Oh well it will all be worth it! I'm just glad it's not only me with the trouble so early on.

Thank you xx
