vent/ wondering whats normal!!!

So im 29 and 5 days... I have this horrible pain in my bump... I cant even sit or lay on one side... its like a stabbing pain about 15 cms over my belly button to the right side... does anyone know what this is?? And my legs are all itchy and also get this tingling feeling when I lay down at night... this is my 2nd pregnancy but I felt nothing like this with my first boy...

Does it go away or feel better changing position? Have you tried drinking water? (Sorry these are the questions they ask me here in the hospital since being admitted when I mention pain). Does it appear you have any swelling? Especially in your face? I'd contact your ob ti let them know, you could be dealing with preeclampsia, which is best detected early, left untreated it can turn into eclampsia which causes seizures and other serious symptoms. Good luck!

I have both these. I'm 35.5 now. The abdomen thing is just annoying and burns sometimes. My legs began to tingle at 15 weeks on my left side. But now they go numb when I sleep on both sides, so I'm constantly try to get comfy. My Dr said it nerves being compressed by my uterus. There is a name for this condition, and it usually goes away after pregnancy, but can linger... hope that helps I totally feel your pains.

Its a little further down than my ribs and I was wondering if it was his head or his bum or feet.. but my first son I would poke and he would move positions but this boy refuses to move... and I sleep on my left side with a pillow between my legs... I have since being pregnant the first time last year in jan... and yes I deff will I just thort it wouldnt hurt to post and ask and thanks :-)

Is the pain right below your rib? If so I could be baby keeping his/her feet/head there. That's my baby's favorite spot and ouch!! And how are you sleeping? Right side left, left side, back? Try sleeping on left side with pillow between your legs. Always mention these things to your doctor also
