Need suggestions

Does anyone have any tips for a baby that seems lodged in your ribs? Usually I can press down where the hand/foot is and he/she moves, but not today! I have also tried moving (per the suggestion of my mom) to try to put the baby off balance, but that didn't work either. My mom says it is just starting! Sometimes it also is actually in my back and that hurts like heck! That is a more painful feeling, but when it climbs the front of me, it feels like someone is sitting on my chest along with the feeling of a stabbing pain in my ribs. I actually made hubby feel it today, kind of a reassurance that I am not going crazy. He couldn't believe that he could actually feel it!

Help me please!! Suggestions are most welcome.

I don't know what to say. I guess this is what I have to look forward to in the next few months. Someone I know who is expecting this month complained about this all the time. I don't think there's anything you can do for it, at least she didn't know of anything for it.
Sorry. Maybe you can ask your dr.

If you get on your hands and knees and rock back and forth that is known to help move a baby. Also going to a chiropractor will help your back a ton!

Sue, I don't know if I would word as looking forward to it! j/k, it is definitely a huge change from the last four weeks. Every month, I think WOW, I can't believe everything that has changed.

Michele, thanks for the suggestion. I believe that I read that in one of my eight hundred pregnancy books! lmao, I couldn't find it though. My back doesn't normally hurt, it is just when the baby's hand/foot it between my ribs in the back. Otherwise, I have been pretty lucky and not been getting any aches. I do think that I will be investing in the tummy support...you recommended that didn't you?
