Pain when sat

[HeatherJ02]

I'm not sure what's going on but I'm in so much discomfort when I'm sat up. I'm fine when lying on my side or stood up.

I'm 31 + 3 and luckily had no issues until now.

The only way to describe it is a feeling that I'm wearing a bra 3 sizes too small and it's strangling my chest/upper abdomen.

Started yesterday, eased a little but it's back today.

Any suggestions please? Booked in with GP tomorrow for appt luckily.

Thanks Heather

I’ve had similar that started around 30 weeks (i’m now nearly 35). An odd restrictive feeling as you describe but not pain as such and pins and needles under my left ribs. The only way I can stop it it to lift my chin up like i’m looking almost at the ceiling, sit straight, push bump out and rest my left forearm on top

of my head. I asked midwife about it last week and she said it’s baby pushing my diaphragm up and also it’s feet and bum are tucked under my ribs. The pins and needles is a trapped nerve. Very uncomfortable!

Thank you for your reply and tips. Thankfully the discomfort has eased today but I have a feeling it will be back!
