Pressure above pelvis in late pregnancy

[ricecakeaddict]

Hi,

I'm 36+5 and for the last few days I have felt pressure above the left side of my pelvis when I get a Braxton Hicks (well, I think it's a BH - it could just be the baby moving as I'm still not convinced I know the difference!)
It's not painful - more like a stretch - but it is really noticeable. I'm wondering if it's part of the baby as the left side of the bump does feel bigger at the bottom. However, she was starting to engage head-down 10 days ago so I'm not sure what body part would be over there!!

Has anyone got any thoughts? It's 10 days until my next GP appointment so just wondered if anyone had any bright ideas / experience of it!

Thanks.
