tender stomach

[rnuggy]

Hi all I'm 36 weeks pregnant and I've got such a tender stomach I don't think the baby is engaged yet as in the UK we don't get checked like over in the USA but has anyone else felt like this!! I can only get comfy if im lying on my left side sitting up is really uncomfortable

You should just ask your doctor. Not all doctors do it in the U.S. My docotor only did it because I went to the hospital for contractions and they didn't check me there..

Continue laying on your left side and drink a lot of water. ALOT. And keep your bladder empty as much as possible even if you don't feel like you have to just do it anyway.
