Okay, here goes, I'm 35 + 4. Im on anti sickness tablets & am on antibiotics for a UTI.

Today though baby head feels very low, and upright. Normally sits to the right.
Tonight I feel funny down there, like my bladder is constantly open. Throbbing almost.

Here I am!!!! Hmmm that sounds suspicious! Put a pad on, keep an eye on the fetal movements & your temperature. If your temp goes up or not happy with the movements or any hint of contractions phone triage back & go in. In the morning go & see your GP. A urinary tract infection is a classic cause of prem labour so keep an eye on it. I've never heard of someone weeing constantly though so I'm still a bit suspicious of waters breaking. By the way we don't sniff sanitary pads - we use something called an amnistick - wee & amniotic fluid have different pHs!! Grin

I have been having something similar (I'm 34 weeks) over the past few weeks, though not as severe. Some days, the baby (I presume its head!) feels like a medicine ball weighing down on my pelvic floor if I spend any length of time standing up or walking; so I end up clenching my pelvic floor muscles trying not to leak wee! I wear pantyliners most of the time now and some days there are a few drips - and this is with having done my pelvic floor exercsies pretty religiously since about 14 weeks.

Hope you get sorted out, I've found this a bit distressing so I can imagine you have too. Here's a Brew and Biscuit for you!

Dropped a urine sample in the doctors about a hour ago. Got told to ring for results at half two they've just left a panicky voicemail on my phone whilst I was at counsilling telling me to go into doctors ASAP.
I'm really scared Sad
