3rd Trimester

Running out of space between boobs and belly

Im at 28 weeks and Ive been having this very uncomfortable constricting feeling directly below my boobs. Im carrying high and at first I thought that I just needed a bigger bra. So I got some new roomier bras but then I noticed that the feeling remains even when Im not wearing a bra. I get almost like a numb tingling feeling on the skin right in the area where the underwire of a bra would usually be. Is this normal? Does it go away? Anyone have any advice?

  • I get it also.it comes and goes with no reason but only on the left.I've only found it pretty much has to do with organ cramping and/or ribs.I didnt have it with my previous pregnancies though so it's definitly nothing I expected, but now I have Braxton hick contractions which take my attention off the other pain.lol

  • Me too but only on the right side.
  • If you're wearing an underwire bra usually try switching to a wire-free bra. That helped me a lot.
  • I got it with both pregnancies and unfortunately, it didn't go away until I gave birth.  
  • I have this too, with both pregnancies. Your ribs and stomach are expanding and are stretching the skin. I'm 38 weeks and it's so bad. I'm constantly holding the area, with movements of trying to bring the skin back together. Try coconut oil right there, and a bra that doesn't touch there
  • Is your bra too tight or have underwire maybe? If not, I'd say it's just another discomfort of pregnancy. I wonder if a maternity support belt and better bra would help?
