Pregnancy Moan!
Hiya Ladies, I need to moan again! lol
I'm 20 weeks tomorrow, all is going great, but the past 48 hours my stomach feels as if it's grown to twice the size and I feel so uncomfortable, it actually hurts at times in the wrong position! I have what can only be described as tight feelings, as if baba is really big and pushing out of a certain spot, right below my rib cage to the right. It doesn't feel tight like it does if she rolls into a ball or anything, but it's really uncomfortable! Definitely NOT BH or contractions, wrong positioning and a permanant 'Ache'.
This pregnancy has been so different for me, I was 19/20 and 21/22 when I had my boys, and people just keep on telling me how i'm at a late age now (28, ffs not 88!), and it will be a lot more difficult to be pregnant. I don't trust it for a second, and sort of think the differences may be purely down to this baba being a little girl, the symptoms or lack of symptoms, eating problems (Can't eat anything unless DESPERATELY craving it, and feel sick at the thought of foods that would usually make me drool a bit!), bleeding in early weeks, aches and pains, migraines for about 2 weeks between 14 - 16 weeks which had people demanding I rush to hospital as I absolutely MUST HAVE Pre - Eclampsia (Turned out it was just the heat!)
Feel like a whale but don't visibly have a bump unless lying flat, which makes it look like i've eaten a basketball, worry about her not kicking as much as she should and then she gives me an all-mighty boot to the bladder and reminds me shes there, before what I assume is just her going back to sleep! I honestly don't recall any single issue or worry with my boys pregnancies, i'm quite sure I went from BFP to Labour without a problem!
Am I the only one who feels like moaning so much?!

Go and ssee your midwife and ask her what she thinks.

dont really know what else to suggest.
Big hugs hun. Your not alone in your preg moan.

I'm massive already like I was with DS and 20 weeks on Thursday. My friend had a DD the same age as my son and she carried completely differently! Her DD was tucked right up into her ribs whereas I was all out in front and she didn't start to show until about 30 weeks (by that time I was enormous!) She was also sick from BFP until she was born, so I can only assume girls can be different from boys (but then again I don't know till Thursday what I'm having so could just be lucky!). Def speak to mw if you have any concerns. I've not felt a huge amount of movement yet, but mainly in the eve. C x
I'm not worried, have obsessively googled around a lot and heard it's completely normal. I just think I maybe had an easy time of it all with my last two pregnancies! It's nice to be able to have a moan on here and find that you're not the only one, so many pregnant ladies around only ever scream their excitement and perfect pregnancies, bumps and labours etc! (I think I was one of those last time! urgh!)
Aches seem to have worn off now, DP bought me a big bottle of lovely cold Sunny D' earlier and I demolished it within half an hour, sending lil missy into a crazy mood and she has kicked about and moved around, so i'm convinced she was in a VERY awkward position last night and this morning. Lets just hope she is in a position so they can give me a second opinion on her girly parts for tomorrow!

Hi Ace!
I'm 33, this is my first baby. I feel big already, I've put on 10lbs since BFP most of it in the last 2-3 weeks. I have over the last few days had Jelly Bean lying on my bladder, this means nipping to the loo 3-4 times in the afternoon at work...infact on sunday I had a massive sneezing fit thanks to hayfever and had a tena lady moment!!!! 
I have been sooo uncomfy as Jelly is lying very low with his bum in the lowest part of my uterus...or thats how it feels. Sitting on the sofa is uncomfy as hes on my bladder then, sitting upright like on a dining room chair is fine but not very relaxing, lying is fine if on a side but if I lie on my back it depends if I've been to the loo before that or not. I'm not in pain just it's a very odd feeling like fullness.
i lost my appetite too I've put this down to the fullness feeling, although my tummy does rumble if I leave it too long!! 
Hope this gives you some reassurance that someone else is feeling like you.

I'm 22 weeks now, but sometimes waddle like I'm about to drop! SIL is 3 weeks and we were laughing last night as we both feel wrecked
I think baby is laying back to back which gives the backache and makes my belly look like jelly rather then preg, and when I lay down it disappears lol!I don't know about you, but after my second, and maybe coz I was younger and fitter, but I always felt I could do one more, I didn't feel finished having babies, but this time I definately do. I loved being pg with the girls, but this boy not so much!
