Any other short mamas?

Question

Im 4'11'' and i just feel so uncomfortable, like there is no more room for him to keep growing! :( my upper abdomin gets hard then releases But not lower? But its not even comfortable to sit, like my rib cage is digging into something(s) when i sit :( most comfortable laying down but eventually my upper to mid back starts to hurt. Just cant win! Lol  28weeks.. Welcome to third trimester! Hahah

Answer

Yes, I am only 5'0" and feel all the same things.
I was also about 100lbs before getting pregnant and now I'm 125lbs.

Walking is exhausting and my back is killing me.

Answer

Totally get how you feel! I am 4'11" as well, with an extremely short torso. The only place for my uterus to go is out, so I have quite the bump lol. I've gained less than 20 pounds but it feels like 60! Walking is difficult (more like waddling 😂) so I try to sit most of the time but that makes my hips/groin hurt sooo...I'm basically uncomfortable all the time. 3 more months...we can do this! Every time my son kicks (even when it's painful and I think wtf are you doing in there?!) I'm reminded that my pain and suffering is totally worth it!

Answer

I'm 4'11 as well 🙀 I'm short lol anyways yes! The pain is real I'm super huge and to top it off my baby boy loves the be on my ribs and kicks them, my hips are getting wide and I'm super sore I'm going to start going to physical therapy and they are going to give me a support belt because literally when me and my husband go shopping I have to hold my belly bacause he's just so heavy...I don't remember being like this with my daughters pregnancy but you know what they say every pregnancy is different and it's true but it's all worth it! In the end can't wait to meet my boy! 💙👶🏼👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 I'm 28w4d ❤️ due November 3rd possibly sooner since he's measuring ahead 👍🏼

Answer

Yep! I am 4"11 and with my last one by the end of my pregnancy I was super uncomfortable all the time, had to sleep sitting up because of heart burn and just couldn't get comfortable while sitting. Only 10 more weeks to go 😬

Answer

5'2" and 27 weeks.... I swear my lungs are being smushed. We were shopping at Sam's Club on Friday and I had to stop to lean against the wall and catch my breath. The woman giving out samples asked if I was okay.... I told her I was fine, just too pregnant to be walking around stores that big! I found a couch on display and parked myself there while my husband did the rest of our shopping!

Answer

I'm 5ft my baby is snuggling super low vs high.  I'm constantly on my feet 9+hours a day n the pressure on my groin and back is horrific . Sometimes i feel like he's just going to pop out lol. I keep saying I cant wait for him to move up but the way you ladies describe it sounds just as painful. #shortpeopleproblem. It will all be worth it when we see our babies 😍

Answer

Answer

Answer

I'm having a lot of the same problems. I'm 5'2''.

Answer

I'm with you!! I'm 5'-0" and it's starting now to get really uncomfortable. I've had a really great pregnancy so far but now I'm having a hard time breathing and it feels like my little man is pushing into my lungs with both his feet. My stomach is rock hard and doesn't feel like there's anymore room for my baby to grow. It only seems to be uncomfortable when I sit or lay down to relax for the day. If this is the worst it gets, then I'm pretty lucky!
