Discovery Home & Health

Hi I am 29 weeks and 2 days pregnant. I have been told by a few people on the health visitor that my bump is very low. I am suffering with my back big time. Does anyone have the same, does it mean baby will be early? I am worried, please help.

Could this mean I will go into early labour? What should I do? I am seeing the midwife on Friday so I might wait till then and see what she says.

hi there

as far as i'm aware the position of your bump has no bearing on when you will deliver - everyone carries differently, your baby is probably lying across you ie pressing on your back and bum to the front causing a lower bulge - but if you were at any risk of premature labour i'm sure you would have people rushing around you as you would need extra care (ie steroids to mature the lungs etc). Don't panic! Everyone carried differently and it changes throughout pregnancy. If you are still worried, you could give your midwife a ring?

Good luck

I carried low my whole pregnancy, everybody said so, i was told that at 32 weeks the babys head was almost engaged so i was sure that he was going to be early, had bad back and pelvis pain aswell, but iam now 39+1 weeks and does not look like he is coming any time soon (wish he would)

hi! musswells

please dont worry about this when i was having dd i dropped quite alot i think around 30ish weeks but i was huge (only weighed 5lb 2,work that out) and everyone commented on how low my bump was
i had a scheduled c-section at 38 weeks so does not mean you will go into labour i had no signs at all about going into labour early but dd was breach and somehow the fluid was leaking out the only time i can think it was happening was when i was going to the toilet also they thought she had something wrong with her too something about her heart a long name cant think to the life of me what they called it now

good luck

I tell u I do worry lol. Everyone commenting on how bump has dropped since last week. I am huge I am only little myself so I look funny. I will seee what midwife says, maybe I am just being paranoid.

Hi iam 28 weeks and everyone has been commenting on how low my bump is too, My M/W says it's normal and that pregnant womens bumps vary in all sizes & shapes.

Thanks for that. I will bare that in mind

Hi

31wks+2days

Hi well I am still with bump, depends what I wear and who sees me as to who thinks what about my bump I have found. LOL. Some say its dropped, others say its up. I just know its there lol.

I am now 32 weeks and 3 days, so getting there.

Love Lorraine. xx

I've had a few people say different things but my m/w bumps come in all different sizes, it kinda scares you when someone come up to you and says....that your bump should be bigger than it is. or that it's lower than it's suppose to be. As long as your m/w & your consultant say everthing is okey dokey....just ignore other peoples comments. []

Not long to go now...are you getting excited or nervous?
I'm a bit of both, I'm getting a bit scared about how much pain I'm gonna be in, LoL

guess everybody feels like that when labour aproaches.

How have you been feeling?

Hi Leanne

I am 33 weeks tomorrow and not sorted at all yet lol. I have been so unwell with various things that I have not been out much. My chest is now clear but now its a cold and I am still coughing loads and the pain from coughing is a nighmare.

I am worried about the birth as I have been through it twice before so know what to expect lol.

My bump lol. Everyone seems to make different comments on it lol, some say its high, some say its low, ha ha. some say its big some say its not.
Good job we are all different as it would be borning if our bumps were all the same lol.

Hows you????

Love Lorraine. xx

LoL

OMG I have been the same with the cough, it's mad isn't it? especially when the Dr just says take paracetamol.

they should bring out something that actually helps us pregnant women with colds and coughs!

I have been staying in too, I've been low in iron so I've been un steady on my feet....fainting & feeling anxious.

feeling an energy surge today though, cos I stocked up on iron over the weekend.

Hope you feel better soon & enjoy the rest of your pregnancy []

Yeah I wish they could too, it hurts when you cough with bump etc and the bladder lol, well lets just say might aswell have a bucket hanging there ha ha
