What is this pain? 35 weeks pg

[karen01]

I am 34+5weeks (2.5 weeks ago my fundal height was 34 weeks!!) pregnant and have got a pain either side of my minnie (I think the ligaments) could this be the baby engaging, or is it just stretching ligaments this is my 2nd pregnancy DD was born at 36weeks c-section due to problems(7.5yrs ago). I have also had period like pains on and off (suppose could also be ligaments!!) in lower back for last couple of days.

I am walking like John Wayne, it feels like someone has tried to pull my legs in opposite directions. Has anyone else had this.
Hope this makes sense!!!!

Any advice welcome.

Now I know where I got the word minnie from! Not much comfort but I'm having very similar pains and I'm only a few days ahead of you. I've got a very attractive waddle cos my pain is more at the back of one leg right up my bum cheek as well as around my minnie. I'm hoping it's ligament stretching and/or the baby moving down towards the pelvis. I'm seeing my mw on Wednesday so I'll mention it then but maybe someone else has had experience of this and can tell us more!

Lets hope so as I am not seeing anyone till a week on Thursday for my 36 wk scan. Minnie is the word I use with my 7.5yr old so it just sticks.

Sounds like ligaments to me, and baby's head is probably getting low! With ds2 (now 15mos) I spent the last 6 weeks feeling like I was carrying a medicine ball between my knees....
