Pain from baby foot, elbow, knee upper stomach! Help

[GigiC73]

29 weeks pregnant and struggling with what feels like the babies foot/elbow/knee in my upper stomach. Lots of movement and then suddenly it feels like I've eaten a stone! Rock hard, almost bruise like to touch. Any tips???

Get onto your hands and knees for a while. It will hopefully move baby out from under your ribs for some relief.

I had this. Baby foot got stuck under my ribs. When born, had underdeveloped foot muscles. Looked really scary, like a flipper, but apparently very normal. Was given baby physio exercises and did them for about 8 weeks and it was totally back to normal. Might be worth asking for an extra scan in case you can do something to manoeuvre in utero- can get more painful in final weeks of pregnancy otherwise as they have less room to move. Sure it will be fine.

Give them a good poke back to get them to move

Have a look at spinning babies website, that has lots of ideas to shift babies into more comfortable/less uncomfortable positions. It was recommended to me by my pregnancy yoga teacher and I've found it helpful!
