Just wondering if other people experience a sort of tightening pressure under their ribs and on their upper abdomen, almost like their tummy is too tight and its gonna explode!
I sort of thought it might feel like this when im a couple of weeks from due date but not NOW!
Will it ease off or am i just going to feel like this the whole time?
P.s...it seems to feel even worse after eating/having a big drink, would my stomach have been squished up already by now or is it too early for that?!
Sorry if this is (another) silly question, i have never had a baby before and am amazed at all the different things that seem to be happening to my poor little body!!!!

I have that too- for instant relief get on the floor on all floors bum in air- I flop over a bean bag and the pain is instantly gone!

I had a foot or possibly hand constantly jammed under my lowest right rib, which was then pinged off, clearly for fun. Over and over and over again. As I could work out what was going on, it was just (flippin')annoying not worrying. Maybe try to work out which it is?

In my last pregnancy my daughter thought it was great to stick her foot/feet into my ribs. I found that with gentle persuasion and a bit of wiggling I could push it back down again

I had that, was quite painful some days. turned out my DD was breech for 20 weeks of preg and paediatrician commented that he could see the imprint of my liver on her head when she was born! She had a funny shaped head for a while...

hey rattigan, i am 25 weeks with twins and know what you mean. After eating I feel like I will explode and driving position seems to be the most uncomfortable. I reckon the babies must have already squashed up my stomach, and yours may have done the same. Am just trying to focus on the positives, and trying to remember not to eat too much in one go...
