I don't know how this kid is supposed to fit in me with more growth. I'm only 5 feet tall and have a super short torso and at 32+ weeks this kid is always up in my ribs or against my pelvic bone. I'm assuming that my stomach will stretch way out to accommodate his size but I'm a little scared about how uncomfortable I'll be over the next 7 weeks.
I'm exact same as you as far as height and how far along we are and short torso! Baby isn't super bad yet as far as size but I'm also being monitored bc baby is on small side of things as of now. I definitely feel lungs are getting squished bc I run out of breath just reading a story to my toddler. It's hard to imagine getting bigger but it's going to happen! Tell baby to pull legs in more to help you out
I hope he finds somewhere more comfy between your bones instead of against them!
Can you still drive okay? I'm also only 5' and I'm worried that in another month or so I won't be able to fit behind the steering wheel and still move to check my blind spot. lol.
I'm still able to drive ok but this is something I worry about in the coming weeks. I wish H could chauffeur me everywhere!
I can relate as I am also short and am pretty darn enormous at this point. He is both in my ribs and in my crotch. He is everywhere
I can still drive ok, but my car has a lot of seat adjustments possible, I'm not sure if most cars have that or not. But I still have an inch or so of room between the wheel and my belly. I was worried I wouldn't be able to drive at this point but I don't think it will be an issue.
I don't really like driving now though, I only do the bare necessity and have H doing all the driving when we are together. I just feel more scatterbrained and nervous than usual behind the wheel.
I'm tall and I can relate! I don't think I look huge to other people (I've had a few shorter moms go "you only have six weeks left?!?" in surprise) but I feel all awkward and oddly shaped and there's a baby kicking me up in the ribs and I can't get comfortable. And I'm only going to get bigger!
Yep, this is the fun part. I had a truly blissful second trimester and apart from the no booze business, I felt like I could have been pregnant forever. These last few weeks? Not so much. Exhaustion is my main complaint right now. It doesn't help that I wake up in the middle of the night with pains from the 20+ pound ball of steel stretching out my stomach when I lie on my side. I'll miss the kicks and flutters, though.

This is me exactly. 5 foot with a short torso. I was huuuuge by 32 weeks. I was so sick of the "omg you are about to pop" comments that I started lying about my due date to strangers so they'd STFU.
Maybe you'll drop soon and at least get rha baby out of your ribs! Ouch!

Yeah I'm a little sad that night time has turned into my least favorite time of day. I used to love that moment I would crawl into bed at the end of the day and sink into the pillow-it felt so good. Now I almost dread going to bed because I know it's going to be 8 hours of tossing and turning and getting up to pee.

I'm 5'2" and had to move the steering wheel up this weekend because I had trouble turning the wheel. He can both punch my ribs and kick my cervix at the same time.
