I'm 34 weeks tomorrow and ive been sick the last few days with period pains. I've been very tired and the only way I can get comfy is lying down all day as I've been getting pains under my ribs constantly.
I've been having a little bit of pressure in my lower abdomen when I walk and go to the toilet
Just a little worried....

That is exactly how early labour with my first child felt yo me. Have you spoken to your midwife?

I would call your midwife x

Luckily I got an appointment with her tomorrow just thought I would get some advice from others to try settle my mind
See if anyone had experienced anything similar and what happened to them

Do let us know how you've got on tomorrow x

NicBenson it could possibly be a UTI, or it could be signs of early labour - good that you are getting checked out. Are the pains at regular times at all? I had what felt like strong period cramps exactly every 10 mins on the dot for 2 days before I went into labour proper (at 31+5).

I'm 34 weeks and also suffering. I think baby has dropped and engaged hence the uncomfortableness. I can only get comfortable in one position all night long. Days are v uncomfortable but I've got 2 other kids to look after so no time to even think about it!
