I'm only 20 weeks but I've got this hard pressure on top on my bump - it kinda feels like a cross betweek heartburn and someone pushing on my bump. Earlier on it felt quite difficult to breathe. has anyone had the same thing or can suggest something to help? _________________

I had this im my last pregnancy but i was much further on and it was baby wedged in my ribs. Do you lay/slouch on your back? Onky reason i ask is cos i find if i do i get this really heavy feeling and cant breath properly... i just forget sometimes theres a baby laying on my vital organs lol
If its worrying you i would just give mw a call tomorrow x _________________

I get this sometimes when baby is shoving her backside into the top of my bump and under my ribs - very uncomfortable and I get a very wonky looking bump!

I get this on and off since, I would guess, about 2o weeks. It is baby pushing his/her bum up and it causes the most horrible kind of breathlessness / palpitations feeling.
Not sure if that is what you mean but I don't remember it being like that with my little boy last time. This one doesn't kick so much as stretch out I think! _________________

As everyone told me, I have very little room for a baby in my body-space, and the feeling you described sounds just like when Samuel used to stick his heels or his bum up and under my ribs. You could sometimes see my ribs on one side sticking out where he could push them outwards -it was very gross and very very uncomfortable! If he kicked like this it literally winded me.
If you are worried though hun definitely chat to your mw xxx _________________
