my bladder is a punching bag

Every time one of the midwives checks the baby's position, it always
seems that the baby's spine is actually off to the side (so a shoulder
is always sticking out, and yes my belly sort of reflects this by not
being totally symmetric). So, head down, but kind of half turned
around. Well I think this kid is upset about that, or something,
because OMG does my bladder *ever* get a beating! It's getting so bad
now that it actually makes me jolt and gasp. That little bugger! ;-)

Hehehe .... I swear I'm slowly splitting in two, but luckily for me, the
little person is only squeezing my bladder down to thimble size and not
actively punching it. I am, however, being kneed and kicked is some
sensitive organ because I'm sure feeling that!
My belly is larger on the left side where bub is but I think its only me
that can notice. At least this time I look all belly ... not like with DD
where I was very fluidy and well-rounded.
Actually the worst thing wrt to bladder problems is *after* I had DD, my
bladder obviously made full use of all the suddenly extra space and I had
midwives *waiting* for me to pee (which never helps).
Hang in there

That's where mine is! ...and *everyone* can notice! (only if they
really look, though - it's not like strangers on the street can notice
it, AFAIK)

Not much longer now, Vicky, right? Sounds like your little bub is
positioned just like my little guy was, and he got my bladder every time,
too.

And how was yours positioned (especially when coming out)?
