This is my first pg so apologies if I am just being naive! I am 35+4 and I have what can only be described as sore patches on my bump.
It feels like baby has grown to much to fit, and I haven't stretched around him enough! Almost like bruising from the inside.
Is this normal? Seeing GP on Monday for antenatal anyway but have a had a few sleepless nights with junior's bottom causing all sorts of pain!

I am experiencing what sounds like the same thing. I am 33+1. This is my second pregnancy and I did not experience it with my first.
On one side of my belly button I have a vertical strip that feels like it is tearing and feels bruised to touch - is this what you have?? I saw my midwife the other day and asked her about it- she dismissed it saying 'A lot of pregnant women get aches and pains across their bump due to the amount of stretching you have to go through' So that was it really - not much help.

I'm 34 weeks and have the same thing, started off just round my belly button but on Friday had spread much more - sore and very tender to touch. Friday was a long day and I was standing for lots of time. But after a good night's sleep my bump felt fine, so I think it must just be the strain on the muscles of holding everything up. Try having a nice lie down if you can!

Feels a bit better today, but have resigned myself to a baby with a HUGE arse given the pain it's causing! Will check with GP tomorrow but I am sure itis just yet another one of those thngs....
not long to go

im 37 weeks and had this the other day. My little one has been engaged for a while, but decided to "pop" out for a few hours, really bruised She's now back in, but think she must have had a good strength while out
