My bellys hard as a rock and I'm super uncomfortable. What can I do to help this . I can't move any way that helps and I…

Right

So ridiculous!!! Especially working for the dang hospital!

@mamalamadingdong

Yeah we get 6 weeks for vag birth and 8 if we have to have a c section and you have to be approved for short term disability to be paid during it

There's the Family Paid Leave Act or whatever it's called, too... I got 6 months (total) off with my firstborn. Then again, it is a big dent in income if that's what you're worried about.

What?! You should at least have a paid month before and 6 weeks after! There is something seriously wrong with this country.

@mamalamadingdong

I am but I'm working up till I go into labor then starting it . And taking 6 weeks mm amalamadingdong

You're not going on a maternity leave?

Yeah sometimes . But when we're busy like today can't really do much then what needs to be done :/ I just want the next 7-8 weeks to hurry up @mamalamadingdong

I'm sure! But they should understand!

@mamalamadingdong,

No he's still moving like normal . And it's hard to sit down a lot of the day cause it gets so busy :/

Is baby less active?

Funny you mentioned that, because I was going to say too that it happens when you overexert yourself and are on your feet for a long time. Gotta keep drinking water and taking sit down breaks!

I worked today and I'm a CNA at a hospital so I work 12 hours and today was just rough . And I have to go back tomorrow for another 12 hour shift. I'm laying down now and feel better kinda but my stomachs still hard :/ . @mamalamadingdong

(This happened to me at 32 weeks, too lol)

If it's harder and heavier than normal, you might be experiencing an ongoing string of BH, which usually means you need to drink lots of water and lay down!

Same :(
