Feeling Uncomfortable Full at 19 weeks

I don't remember feeling so 'full of baby' this time in my first pregnancy. I am not too bad during the day, when I am moving around a lot. However in the evening, when normally the comfy sofa would call my name, I am only comfortable sat backward on a dining room chair.

Is this because I forgot what happened last time, or do you 'fill up' earlier in a second pregnancy ?

Not so 'full'now, wonder if baby has moved to better position ?

With all my pregnancies I've had moments where the baby appears to suddenly expand out in all directions, tummy goes as hard as a nut and lungs & bladder get squished flat. Very uncomfortable. And it's not the same as Braxtons.

Like you, I find the sofa a no-go when this happens and either sit bolt-upright on a hard chair or kneel down and lean elbows on a footstool.

I think it's just how the baby lies/moves/torments.

Thanks Duchy, I pretty sure I never had this last time and was wondering why
