35 weeks pregnant. First time mum

[mummyvixx]

I'm almost 35weeks pregnant and the pain and discomfort I'm in at the moment is awful. I'm only very small framed size 8. I had a scan at 32 weeks and it showed my baby was approx 5 pounds. Everyone comments how big my bump is.

I'm stomach feels so stretched and the back and leg ache is awful. I feel like she's literally got no more room to grow in there.

I can't eat properly cos I'm full after like 4 mouthfuls of food and feels like my bladder is constantly full.

Is it normal to feel like this and my body will allow her to grow more if she needs too won't it.

Yes these last few weeks of pregnancy are hard going, I'm 37 weeks on Tuesday and have been feeling similar to you for the last three weeks or so, also cooking a potentially big baby, when they start to engage that feeling of fullness does ease, but there will be says where you feel like you are literally about to pop :)

She's frank breech so I'm hoping she moves soon and gives herself and me a bit more room. It's so hard to sit and I'm only semi comfortable when I'm laid down. 🤣

I'm 35+5 with 2nd baby and feel exactly the same so I totally sympathise! I can't sit without reclining back cause it feels like there's a foot stuck in my ribs constantly, and the kicks are just getting really uncomfortable. Bump is like a basketball with skin stretched over it, so so tight and uncomfortable!

Ah no, hope she turns for you!
