Excess fluid discomfort

Lauren • Sat, Feb 01 • Had my sweet girl 02/22/20 - 5 weeks early due to rare genetic disorder💗 Had my handsome man 09/30/22 - 3 weeks early due to low birth weight💙

I have excess fluid so I’ve been measuring 6 weeks ahead with tape. I’m 32 weeks measuring at 38. I am already EXTREMELY uncomfortable and still have 8 weeks to go. My belly truly feels like it has no more room to grow!

My ribs have gone from occasionally aching to hurting all the time. I used to find relief when laying down but I can’t even lay down anymore without them throbbing. I can’t sit on the couch or even on the toilet without my ribs starting to ache.

Does this sound normal or like cause for concern?
