How can I move baby?

[poppy160]

I know i shouldn't but I'm getting really frustrated, I can feel the baby moving quite strongly (Don't know weather this is because I have low fluid?) But her favourite position seems to be wherever she can kick my bladder with ease. I've had it constantly for about a week now and at first it was a cute first experience but it's getting seriously annoying..caffiene and chocolate doesn't help. Is there anything else I can try? I'm sorry for being a whinge..just having an emotional few days

Walking around makes this little one move - or a change in position. Or dad telling him/her off

this one spent a good couple of weeks doing somersaults before finally settling on head first... I know how you feel though poppy cos when she was bum first the kicking in my bladder was really painful it would make me shout out in pain sometimes. I tried everything to make her turn at those times.. I found bouncing on my ball... Lying with my bum in the air and eating either ice cream or drinking cold water would get her moving again...

I'm in pain atm too and starting to worry a little. It feels like the baby has dropped back down to where he was a week or so ago so I'm feeling quite tender around my pelvic region. I thought I was constipated (listening to my bowels growling I think I may be but I'm not sure?) Is it possible to be constipated and still go to the loo but not go fully? I'm sure I read somewhere before that it is possible. It hurts to press on my belly in certain areas.

debbie that doesn't sound right, is it trapped wind?

 

[DebbieM]

That is how it feels!! Like I need to do a massive trump but can't! I can hear my stomach gurgling away. Baby is moving and HB is normal so he seems to be fine. It's just my stomach.

Thanks guys, I have a huge tub of Mackies Ice cream in the freezer and have been looking for an excuse to eat it Squig, when you say bouncing on your ball do you mean a birthing ball?
Debbie I'm suffering too with constipation and trapped wind, it's really painful! It took me days to 'go' and when I did I don't think I emptied everything cause I constantly feel bunged up and sluggish (sorry guys - TMI)!

 

[DebbieM]

Sorry to hear you're suffering too poppy. What kind of pain does it cause for you?

 

[poppy160]

Just pain around the center of my tummy and it makes me feel full of air and fat

 

[DebbieM]

Yep, same as me. Does it hurt if you press on your tummy too?

 

[poppy160]

Not tried to be honest, i think it would hurt..I've been crying out in pain sometimes and have had to walk around bent over aswell. When I do manage to pass wind it smells so bad, worse than my OH. All I can think is 'It's going to get worse,' lol

 

[DebbieM]

LMAO! Just blame the baby!

 

[poppy160]

I do, OH doesn't buy it though
