Pain while driving 38 weeks

[Sienna757]

Last night I was driving home and experienced lots of pressure down below and in lower back baby is engaged, how ever the pain and feeling was so much that I had to stop my car twice. Today I haven't drove but did go out for lunch with other half had a funny turn where I suddenly felt to hot and sick. Now I feel completely exhausted is any one else going through this I dont feel like I'm going in to labour any time soon :(

I cannot comment on your specific symptoms but my advice would be to rest at home and try to relax from now until the baby is born. There is too much pressure on pregnant women to 'carry on as normal' which is not realistic for everyone.

Rest up and listen to your body. Every birth is different so I am told ... but I honestly knew when it started.
You may have braxton hicks or the early stages of labour
I had a bloody show on the Monday. Severe period pains from then irregularly ( which did make me feel a bit hot at irregular times ) at 4:30am I woke up with strong pains.
And bloody show.... had pains every 30 mins / 20 mins by 10:30am they were strong and every 3 mins ... by 1:30pm we went to hospital by 2pm I knew it was full labour ( I was prob duly dilated around that time but still in car ) 5:33pm he was born ...the key is the pain is regular for it to be labour but if your worried or you have reduced movements call the midwife you can never be too careful.
Good excuse to see your bubbas face again too before they join you outside 😊

How are you feeling ?

@Newmumma83 thank you I have lot.of pressure in my bum, cant get comfortable and it's even hurting just to yawn :( I just wish it was all or nothing X

The day I have birth to my DD I had a lot of discomfort and grinding into my pelvis. The 'grinding' I felt had happened occasionally a few days before too but it happened a lot the day she was born. Keep resting and relaxed. Good luck. You got this!

Hope you managed to get some rest last night ( in between frequent loo trips and trying to get comfy ) try and have a Netflix day 😉 x

Good luck 💐

Thank you all. Feeling fed up today, period type pain.again but no tightenings horrendous heart burn meant I had worst night sleep ever. So no motivation for any thing today.

Hope your all ok x

That’s fine this is your time to do what ever you want! Chill and have make sure you have the gaviscon in ❤️

@Newmumma83 I did manage to get some motivation in the end and had the urge to clean my bedroom.and bathroom although the heartburn meant I had to stop every half hour for a break I've got through a whole bottle of gaviscon and it's still as chronic as last night grrrr the Joy's lol x

Nesting time!! Won’t be long now x x
