Pokey/bruised feeling in uterine area?

[EllasMama]

Does anyone have the feeling that a part of the baby is pushing on the same spot in the uterus until it feels sort of bruised from the inside? The exact spot where it's hurting is midway between my pubic bone and navel, and about 3 inches left of the midline of my body. It seems to be an area where my uterus has expanded to, though I guess it could be far enough over to be something else. I do think I remember this feeling from my first pregnancy, but it's so tender to the touch and uncomfortable, I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing it. It's worse when I walk a lot or do a little more work than I'm used to. I try to take it as a sign that I should slow down, but it's annoying to actually have the energy to finally do something, only to end up hurting if I do very much!

i don't have a specific spot, but I do have that sore/achey feeling especially after some time on my feet. i think it's normal.

Yes! It sounds like it's in that exact spot too. I get it when the baby has been moving and poking that particular spot a lot. I haven't had it in a while though. It really hurts and I can commiserate!!

I'm so glad to hear I'm not alone! I was beginning to wonder if I should check in with the midwives. Today's been a lot better. I've been off my feet more, so that seems to play a big role. Just what I need, another excuse to be lazy. :shrug
