36+2

I'm due to get induced on the 29th November at 37+1 due to being a type one diabetic and my baby measuring larger than average at all my growth scans (35weeks -7lb 1oz).

I have really been struggling with my bump as I feel like it weighs a ton and I'm now unable to sit with my legs closed due to it hanging so low, which is causing me real issues. As well as this I can barley sit up and struggle to hold myself up in any way. Is there anything I can do to help relieve the pressure on my tummy / help with the intense rib pain?

Help a first time mumma to be out because the pain is becoming unbearable and I cant ever seem to get comfy!! X

Hi, I am 36+2 as well and also struggling with the bump, finding position plus awful SPD. Have you tried wearing the support belt? Since you're getting induced in just a week maybe see if one of your friends has one they can borrow you instead of buying one? Also, my maternity pillow has been a huge help - I'm carrying it around everywhere but to be fair I don't get very far in each case.
