Ahhh. I understand. My babies are growing quickly, according to my doctor, and sometimes I feel like their kicking my lungs or something - like I can't catch my breath. It sucks sometimes, but it'll be over before you know it. :)

Hehe I am 33 weeks and if I don't wear a bra she really does kick my boob...Haha. I have no room left, and all the books and sites I read off of say I should start to feel less movement because there is no room...But now I feel lots (she always moved lots, but it wasn't very strong) and it's very strong...Which I think is because there is no room I can't even walk up and down the stairs without gasping for breath it is silly. Oh well only 7 more weeks!! It's crazy enjoy it while it lasts...It seems like it is taking forever but really it flies by!

I know what you mean about not being able to breath. I feel like this baby is trying to put her foot through my lung sometimes. I'm taking a parenting class at school now and our teacher said that babies have been known to kick and break ribs. I don't know if I believe her, but I feel like it could be possible, especially if they kick as hard as this baby does. I feel bad for her because she's got to be about as uncomfortable as I am. She has almost no room to move. I'd be kicking and screaming too. Lol

Yea, i'm due in about a month (maybe a little less). I serioulsy feel like i'm going to explode. It's gotten to the point that I can't sleep at night because if I lay on my back, there's so much pressure and it hurts like crazy. If I lay on my side, the baby goes nuts and kicks my ribs until I move. I sleep on the reclining chair now. Lol. I can sort of sit up while I sleep and the baby doesn't seem to care. It's nice, but I don't want to do it much longer.

Well, i'm having no problems with contractions. I'm technically supposed to be on bedrest because i've been having some strong contractions on and off for a few weeks. But currently i'm alright. My doctor says she just wants to keep this baby inside as long as we can to ensure that she's as healthy as possible. But I really only have about a month to go. (anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks, I guess). The baby should be "dropping" soon, right? I've heard that makes it a lot easier to breath and stuff.
