Empty bump and feet are going to explode!!


Hey all i was just wondering if anyone else has this.........

Since waking up this morning the bottom of my bump feels empty! its all jelly and loose and there is no baby in that bit! IS THIS NORMAL? Is he/she just hiding and hanging up my ribs? i do hope baby has'nt turned round as the head has always been down.

The other thing is how swollen is swollen?
The last 4 days my feet have been like they are about to burst open,we are talking huge creases where my toes join my feet and from twhere the toe joins they balloon greatly and when i walk the skin feels like it will split,they are so sore and have elevated them a lot but nothing is helping
Any ideas? and how are everyone elses?

The bottom of my bump has gone jelly since she was fully engaged.

Oh and my feet are so fat right now I'm not sure my toes touch the ground..

sounds like she has dropped!

As for the swelling, try putting them in cool water and then resting them up, higher than your hips. Put something under the legs of your bed at the feet end so that it is slightly higher than the head end - this should help them drain.

If it is gets too bad, mention it to your MW.

When I am lying in bed, my LO is very tucked in and my bump is all soft. As soon as I stand up, she drops and my bump gets hard. I measured and there is over a 4 inch difference from lying down and standing up! She really snuggles up in there!

And yes, my feet are awful the past few days. Yesterday was so hot and humid, they were terrible

I noticed this too only yesturday. His hiccups come from my hips and the kicks on the left when i am lying down and when I stand up, i get an instant urge to go to the loo and from then on the hiccups come from low down and the kicks hit my ribs.

he certainly isnt running out of space yet!

My feet and ankles are really badly swelled to and nothing seems to help either, The only day they haven't swelled is when i went to the midwife to ask about them swelling so bad and they were not swelled at all lol
