Mumsnet Talk

Hello this is my first post, I am due in just over a week first birth and the baby is engaging which is great but the pain and the pressure in the 'down there nether regions' is just unbelievable. I can hardly walk is this par for the course? I was up all night in pain in my front bottom so took some paracetomol and still haven't really slept. Would love to hear from others who are nearly due!

Hate to tell you sounds pretty normal just the presssure hopefully means is on its way out!

Hi Sarahpo - how exciting! It's hard to remember that sometimes when you hurt, but it is worth it in the end! I felt pressure with DD in the last week and it was her engaging and resting her head on my bladder as well as my other bits! Bless her. Whatever though, your DC is heading in the right direction. Good luck and don't forget to breathe. Slowly!

hi sarahpo, I'm not pregnant but your post has made me remeber that feeling! it happened a week or so before I had dd, i could feel her moving down. good luck with everything, have a look at the antenatal clubs section here are others due in june www.mumsnet.com/Talk/2290/545924
