So if every time I get up

[underwaterrhymes]

I feel like a bowling ball is between my thighs, does this mean the baby has dropped?

Because he still feels all crazy up in my ribs too.

I don't see how this is possible. Unless he weighs like 12 pounds. Which obviously is totally unacceptable.

I think so.
Mine dropped @ 35 weeks I think. It was very uncomfortable. It got a little better when I got used to it but the weekend it happened, I could barely walk!

And she still kept her knees and feet wedged firmly in my ribs, though that seemed impossible. And she'd kick out in my ribs all the time like she was trying to get comfy. She sill does the same move I imagined her doing on the inside!

Dude, you are TINY! I'd be surprised if he wasn't taking up all the room in your torso.

LOL.

It's true. He's got ALL the space. Usually I'm pretty happy being a shortie, but man it's killer during pregnancy.

(BTW - Still hoping to make it out this weekend, but it's not looking good. I'm on doctor's orders bed rest, although less because of pre-term labor concerns at this point and more because if I move around too much I want to gnaw my ribs out of my body with my teeth. But still. I feel I need to see you!)

My cousin was a ninja. Out she came after cousin 1, unbeknownst to her parents and doctors.

I do a lap around my cubicle before I leave my desk to loosen my hips up and make the waddling a little less obvious.  It kind of works.

How long ago was this? Did she have ultrasounds?

I feel like someone shared a story like this the other day and it wasn't that long ago.

I've had a few ultrasounds and an extra baby would have had to have sprouted miraculously in there after my 20 week A/S scan.

Yes. And, even when I was near tears due to terrible pelvic pressure from C's monster head, she could still wedge her ass up in my ribs. She weighed 9lbs7oz and her head was in the 98th percentile. Thanks H for passing on the big babies with large heads!

I fear this.

I only weighed 4 pounds when I was born, but H was 9 pounds 8 ounces.

I do not think this kid is going to take after me.

Mine did that. Turns out she was suuuuuper long. So even when she dropped her feet were in my ribs.

[daisyheadmaizie]

DD was 22 inches long at birth, and she was the same way. Head in my pelvis and feet up in my throat. Lol. You are so close. Are your ribs healing?

[underwaterrhymes]

daisyheadmaizie - They're better than the night I wound up in Labor and Delivery, but still pretty rough.

I can hang, though. Four weeks to go.

[daisyheadmaizie]

That sucks. Being in pain and pregnant is an awful combo, especially when your only med choice is fucking Tylenol. With DD, I developed a terrible case of pleurisy, and then we were terrified my uterus was going to rupture with DS. I remember wanting to murder my doctor when they told me to take some Tylenol.

[underwaterrhymes]

My doctor actually prescribed Percoset because the ribs are fractured.

I haven't been taking it because I don't like to take narcotics.

I did, however, take one tonight because it's been a pretty bad day pain-wise.
