Kate;

Okay- you have to explain the 'MA lopsided bulge'...do we carry

noticiablly on one side or the other or is it something else?

Sorry if this is a silly question, but I just had to ask! :-)

BTW: thanks for the SA info!

Not a silly question at all. Last fall we had a bunch of funny posts

about this. A lot of us do get noticeably lopsided as the pregnancy

progresses. When I say " noticeable " I mean only to us, standing

stark naked in front of the mirror! I thought my bulge (it was her

head) looked like a third breast. My DD (left side) moved into place

around 30 weeks, and I swear she didn't significantly change position

until delivery (no room to move other than kick the heck out of my

cervix!)

My dr. mistakenly assured me that my DD was NOT breech at around 33

weeks, so I kept patting what I thought was her little bum lodged

under my left breast. Turns out I was banging her on the head for

several weeks (which explains a lot now -- she's a typically nutty

3.5 year old!)

Take care -- Kate, UD, ttc for #2

Kate -

How funny! Thanks for explaining...I had never really thought about being

lopsided, but it does make sense. Right now I would love to have a 'third

breast' :-) I'm so glad we can all find humor in this!

Thanks,

UD

Just had to share my lopsided situation. During my short stay in the

hospital at 28 weeks, everyone just had to comment on my lopsided tummy.

I'm carrying in the left horn, and sure enough he's all curled up under my

my left rib. It does look funny. One thing I learned is that to get

accurate contraction monitering, the moniter has to be placed on the left

side. If they put it in the middle the contractions don't register. I've

found that it's much more comfortable for me to lie on my right side,

otherwise I feel like I'm squishing him and there's too much pressure on my

left rib. The other unique thing is that I measure further along than I am

because the uterus doesn't have as much stretch side-to-side so all the

stretch is out front. I've consistently measured 3-4 weeks ahead. I also

like to imagine that some of that is due to him being a big baby (after

having a 2 lb baby, I'm hoping for a big boy.)

BU, 30 weeks yesterday!!
