Hi all. I'm 25 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child, but despite this being my 2nd I'm still baffled by how I've been feeling for the past week or two and wondered if anyone could shed any light?
I didn't have a single braxton hick during my first pregnancy, but have been having them quite frequently in the last fortnight. Over the last few days I'm getting quite intense ones at odd periods during the day, and then loads at night. It also feels like the baby is in an odd position - all at the front and top - and it feels like there is a lot of pressure - almost as if my bump is going to burst! It doesn't hurt exactly, just feels like the baby is really straining against the front of my bump. Don't know if any of that makes any sense? It's really uncomfortable and I'm not sure this is normal?
Seeing my midwife on Tuesday but thought I'd see if anyone here had any bright ideas...
