Disconfort in 3rd trimester

[lozbeth]

Anyone got any tips on feeling more comfortable in the third trimester baby is sitting in my ribs causing a fair bit of pain and discomfort And lack of sleep jus started feels like my ribs cracking a lot too when I try and move

I've just turned 37 weeks with my second. If you figure this out please let me know 😂Not very helpful, I know.

If a particular movement feels uncomfortable I try to remember to attempt it more slowly. Have a soak in a warm (not hot) bath for aches and pains, using strategically placed pillows and cushions for sleeping.

Alternate periods of time with your feet up (to rest) and gentle exercise (to keep supple).

When you can't sleep just try to relax and rest.

In general though, you just have to sort of go with it and grin and bear it.

Obviously if anything is particularly painful do check with your HCP for reassurance/ medical advice.

@MangoesAndMatchsticks thanks I give them all a try although cushions don't work for me, it's my first and I'm feeling like she a pain lol
