..my tummy hurts!! It's probably normal for this stage as I've only got 5-ish weeks left, but the top of my bump really hurts. I'm getting a lot of braxton hicks, and they're starting to occasionally go into my lower back but nowhere near as strong as real contractions. But this top of bump pain is there pretty much all the time, worse if i'm moving about. Feels like ripped muscles or like my tummy's about to split open I'm still walking quite a lot everyday as we don't have a car, and picking milo up etc, so is it a sign that i'm doing to much or is it just normal?

I got it a lot and it was ass or head pressing on my bump usually but i knew when it was that cos it would go rigid. Found i could get a bit of relief by shoving her back in

Hmm, I did wonder if it was that as i usually get sore ribs from little feet being shoved in them! But when i feel my tummy, the pace where it hurts is really soft and empty - i can feel feet and bums etc in other places, but the painful place is kind of sunken in if that makes sense..

yep hun, I would say normal, I had all kinds of bump pains including at the top, mine was a really strange itching/tingling/stinging/achey pain, but like your's squidgey. xx

Could be muscles then for def. Try a simple painkiller-paracetamol and if it eases its probably the muscles. Maybe a belt to hold your belly up might help

Aah the joys of being crammed full of tiny person!! In that case i will relax and get on with stuff, which is a relief, got to get the kid's room ready so no chance of resting! Thanks Suse Ooh mario, thats a good idea - i have a girdley thing from last time, so i'll try digging that out. Shexy!!
