Whats wrong with my bump

I've always had a very top heavy bump and now I'm 35 weeks and it's just getting worse. It's super uncomfortable, almost split into two solid parts at the top and refuses to round out, staying flat at the front with a droopy bit at the bottom....its taking up all my available space. I can hardly sit down without it pushing up from the bottom and suffocating the top. I do have extra fluid and a large baby....

Every bump is so different from the next , I don’t see anything “wrong” at all 💓

There's nothing wrong with your bump! Pregnancy is super uncomfortable for a lot of us!

That's a pretty normal description of a pregnant bump tbh especially if you have extra fluid. When I looked in the mirror for the first time naked I thought wtf is going on 🤣🤣 This is my second child and I still and super confused by the placement of the bump, there's a literal dip at my hips.. Idk I just think it's so weird but interesting? 🤣🙈😅

I had this as well, it’s so uncomfortable on ribs. Mine didn’t drop until labour

My bump with my second looked like this too, it felt so uncomfortable at the ribs 😩

This looks like my bump honestly. I'm top heavy and there's a droop at the bottom with a flat bit at the front. I had a bit of a tummy before I had a baby so I think that's what my droopy bit is. I'm 32 weeks and baby is head down with their back to my front which is prime position for birth 👌 But yeah it feels absolutely so uncomfortable all the time 😫

Might be babys butt? Or just how baby is laying 🩵 your bump looks good, I also had extra fluid

I was exactly the same it was due to his position and the excess fluid, so uncomfortable! In terms of how your bump looks though I don't think you can tell, lovely bump! X

I don’t see nothing wrong with your bump either. Probably the way the baby is positioned have they said how he/she is laying. Last pregnancy baby was breech for ages and it was so uncomfortable having a head near ur ribs! This time head is down and I have a literal shelf to eat my food off and can breathe 😆 but can’t sit down with a bend without feeling like I’m crushing a baby head 😂

My bump is like that . Very uncomfortable but normal

When you drop it’ll hopefully be a tad bit more comfortable. It’s not too much more comfortable for me now that babygurl has dropped but I can say that when I sit up it doesn’t feel like I’m suffocating anymore .

I always carried really low and thought my bump never looked like a ‘normal’ one. Never realised how different they can all look but I’d say looking at you that’s absolutely fine as uncomfortable it is. Those last weeks seem to drag but baby will be here before you know it

Il be 39 weeks this Sunday my bump feels lik its dropped an im so uncomfortable 😣 im due 3rd aug dunno if il go that long the way im feelin will hav to see my bump feels an looks lik urs. The joys of pregnancy eh.. congratulations xx

I don’t see anything wrong. You have a beautiful baby bump! Are you having a girl?

I had polyhydramnios and felt like this- I couldn’t get any relief! My belly just hurt! Also had a big baby x x

My bump was flat around the belly button because the baby was posterior.

Nothing wrong with your bump!

diastasis recti is the medical term you’d heard if you asked your ob or midwife about your symptoms you explained! 🫶🏼 it’s common but there’s things to research about it & postpartum recovery!

Nothing wrong this is what I looked like but I saw your other posts about being really swollen so take your blood pressure frequently cause this is what I had with preeclampsia

My bump was pretty high! It's very uncomfortable especially on the ribs! But totally normal

@Monica yes I've been keeping an eye and it seems okay for now!

@Tiffany no a little boy!

I don’t see anything wrong with the bump, but I’d guess on the shape - it’s a girl?? And swollen feet. My bump was very high like that with my girl but much lower with my boy now

Beautiful bump :) I hope you find some relief and drop soon. Swimming, even if it’s just a little while should help.

Do you have one of those straps that help support the baby? It might make it more comfortable

Looks normal!
