Suzy - Sounds like a braxton hicks contraction! I get them all day long.
 
Thanks for replying Luz! It's not a temporary change; my upper bump is consistently hard and my lower bump (under belly button) is soft. My little one used to be head down now I'm a bit worried she is horizontal and is high up. She has 6 weeks to get her head back down though so I'll try not to worry about it. Feeling very pregnant lately and really miss being able to bend over without pain :haha:
 
My bump is hard up the top and soft down the bottom and my girl is definitely head down. :)
 
I can't tell how she is positioned. Tried looking up articles to figure it out, but no luck. I get either a head or butt pushing out right about the middle of my belly (just above my belly button slightly to the right) but all the rolls, kicks and punches feel the same and are basically ALL over the place. Feels like an octopus is in there! I've taken videos to show my family as my belly goes crazy on the outside, my DH thinks it looks creepy, it does look like she is gonna burst out :haha:

Mine is exactly like this too. I still think she's changing position a few times per day. It certainly feels like that. She was rolling and poking out so much the other evening it started to make me a bit nauseous :haha: but I love it really.
Soooo ready to have her, but I'm really gona miss the movements.

Mine feels the same and he's head's down. His butt is always trying to stick out right above and to the right of my belly button and his legs are always in my ribs now. I swear some days I'm cooking an octopus in there!
 
Suzy Q it could be BH contractions making your bump harder on top than on bottom, especially if it happens more in the evening. With my first pregnancy I could only feel the BH on the top of my uterus and when I would get several contractions in a row my uterus would just tighten up and stay that way. With this pregnancy the BH are on the bottom of my uterus more for some reason although the top still gets hard, it just doesn't stay that way. It could also be the baby's bottom, my baby is head down so when she is active I can always feel her bum pressing up against the top of my bump. It feels hard like it should be her head, but my doctor felt it while examining me and said it was her little bottom. Her head is down in my pelvis so I can't really feel it at all except when she has the hiccups or she head butts my bladder :haha:

For anyone wondering if their baby is head down at this point, my doctor can tell by palpitating my bump and by listening to the heartbeat whether the baby is head down. My little girl has been head down and hasn't moved since about 16 weeks!

I love all of the nursery pictures! Our nursery was much more put together and everything matched for our first daughter. Its harder with the second one because we have a mix of old and new things, and whenever I put something in Vayda's nursery my 2 year old wants it in her room! When we painted the nursery pink my daughter was mad because she wanted her room to be pink instead of purple (even though purple is her favorite color) we compromised by painting her ceiling fan pink LOL
 
I get false contractions but they hurt so much very painful
 
Have just started getting BH, very uncomfortable feeling. Happened today whilst driving which is very distracting. Cue crazy woman stretching about trying to get into some sort of elusive comfortable position - other drivers must've thought I was nuts!
 
Not having a good night, took me over an hour to fall asleep, she was kicking/punching/rolling/elbowing the heck out of me. Then I woke up 3 hours later to go to the bathroom, laid back down (normally I pass right back out) couldn't fall back to sleep for about half an hour, more kicking, my hip started hurting and started getting hungry from being awake. Soooo now I'm on the couch downstairs watching Netflix :wacko: hoping I will be able to pass out on the couch eventually....

So glad this doesn't happen every night! Especially since it's not long from now that I will be getting up all the time to feed and change her...
 
Oh god, I've had nights like that :( they suck. Sleeping seems to be getting harder in general, but for me it's for no particular reason...I wake up to pee and that's it, I'm awake :( apparently it's very common. Our bodies preparing us for night feeds etc. No fun now though :(
 
I'm at the stage where I hate the thought of going to bed, just turning over is a huge effort! - before pregnancy I loved my bed!

Eek, just 30 days left! excited and scared.....
 
I can't wait to get into bed; I'm so tired at the end of the day. TBH each morning when I wake up I feel like I haven't slept at all. Having two young kids doesn't help :wacko:
 
Bending down doing anything at this stage is so hard can't wait to have this baby but at the same time I just moved so really want everything done before
 
I'm graduating tomorrow. I'm actually a little nervous about walking up to collect my scroll in front of 600+ people...it would be an ideal time for baby to make an appearance! :haha:
Seriously though, I'm worried about getting that shooting pain "down there" when I'm half way up and having to walk the rest as a snails pace! I can hear the whispers now "oh god I hope she's not in labour!" Lol.

Congrats! I'm sure it will all go fine :flower:
 
Did some prep today, I have my hospital bag mostly ready (put a few things for DH in there too), just a couple items I still need. I also packed the diaper bag with Kayla's stuff.

I set up the pack n play on the living room so that's ready to go and just have to install the car seat. it may be a little early, but it makes me feel more relaxed to have everything ready to go :flower:
