Hiya. Not seen my symptoms on any other post so thought I'd ask....
As I say I'm 32 weeks with my first pregnancy. I'm healthy and all is well. I'm in Spain and although care he is awesome I'm limited with language hence referring to online tools a lot.
I've had a private 3D/4D scan last week to see my beautiful little girls face. Scan measured her at 44cm and 1.78kg (approx 4lb). I'm led to believe that's a 'healthy' size. That's the polite way of saying she's BIG! My dates are correct, I'm also on the national health system and have regular checks, due date is 24/12.
My belly feels and looks small. I take a weekly photo of my profile and when comparing now to, say 4 weeks ago there's actually not much change. So considering I'm clocking on 8 months I'm neat and compact. I am actually 6 foot which explains why baby is long but why is my belly small?
So this leads me to my main concern. She's wrapped up with legs everywhere in such a small space so her movements hurt! Mostly in the groin area. Not groin as in between legs, but further forward on one side only and more to the front. She does this move only when I'm sitting/lying stretched out where she digs into this area almost touching on a nerve. It's not a sciatic pain, doesn't shoot down my leg but rather stays internal at the top of my leg on the inside. It's sharp, it's painful enough to take my breath away and last several seconds until she moves. Tonight I've now started to notice a gentle dull ache inside the top of this leg. Almost like a muscle pain.
What is this!?
I think she's strong and definitely in the traditional head down position. She's not engaged at all yet and moves loads. It's like constant air bubbles moving about popping out everywhere and its tiring! Is this ok?
Am I wrong to really hate this feeling? 😟
And don't get me started on hiccups, they're strong and last ages! 🤦🏼♀️
Many thanks.
