Advice please , really bad pressure all off a sudden

[Helloxxxxxx]

Hi I'm 24+3 today Iv been feeling pressure for weeks like the baby just getting heavy but all of a sudden it feels like a massive weight and like he's going to fall out of me , is this normal or should I be concerned

It's just really worrying me as I don't know what's normal and what isn't and I'm scared it's something bad if It's not normal

It sounds like SPD. Do you have a midwife appointment coming up?

@Helloxxxxxx Hey I didn’t want to read and not respond. I don’t know if it’s normal or not. I didn’t feel anything like that in my pregnancy. Can you get to a doctor? They would be the best person to advise you and check you and unborn baby to see if everything is fine.

It is normal to have anxiety when you don’t know if something is right. So, don’t worry about seeing a doctor about this. Ok.

Good luck, hope everything is fine

Thanks for the advise it's just getting worse I am going to see who I can call in the morning . In the slightest movement causing such a worrying/painful feeling which is quite scary so I was just really worried x

Call 111 if you need advice tonight. Always best to get checked. Or do you have the number for your maternity assessment unit (should be on your pregnancy notes) They are usually open for calls 24/7 and won’t mind you calling at all.

Hey, I had the exact same roughly 24 weeks. My baby has been in the head down position since then and head is engaged. My midwife said that's why it felt like he was going to fall out and was really heavy. I still have the same now, I hold my belly when walking downstairs xx

I know the feeling but I didn't get this until later in pregnancy

Have you called your midwife?

Hi guys today I have lost some mucus in the toilet it was white and enough to spot and see it seperating , do you think it's in relation to the pressure I was feeling ? It's my first pregnancy , idk wether it was the mucus plug ?

I don't think you have a plug at this stage, I thought it was created further along in pregnancy.

I'd speak to your midwife though, it could just be increased discharge

Get to your nearest maternity unit asap.

This could be preterm labour. I'm not scaring you but I had similar and I'm glad I went in when I did.

Good luck x

@Mysleepingangel did you have any other signs of feel anything ? Xx

Ring your midwife with those symptoms. They will tell you if you need to be seen. They will honestly be kind and helpful.

You do have a mucus plug now, its fully formed around 12 weeks so if you think you are losing it you need to be checked over today. Really hope its not that and all is well

I’d definitely call midwife if I were you

Call the midwife and be checked over.

I felt pressure high up, assumed it was the baby moving, but they were tightenings - at 28 weeks. They carried on until DS was born at 33 weeks. Pressure/movement/pain can be really hard to judge where it actually is.

You need to be checked over, hopefully everything is fine and it’s normal for you. But you should get checked out.

Best wishes OP.

Call the midwife and get in for a scan xx

@Helloxxxxxx no, just pressure feeling and some discharge tinged with blood.

Thing is, with preterm labour, discharge isn't always there. But this pressure feeling needs to be checked out.

Worse case scenario, I'm wrong. But if there's something going on, ie cervix is dilated, you could get a stitch and save your baby.

Have you been to the triage?

@Helloxxxxxx hope everything is ok

How are you OP?

Did you see someone @Helloxxxxxx ? Hope all's well

Really hope you are OK OP

Plug doesn't 'separate' (dissolve?). It's like a massive ball of snot.

I too hope you've been check by real medics and not Mumsnet warriors (like myself). They should be able to get to the root of what's happening.

Hi everyone I was checked out and there wasn't any concern thanks for everyone's help and advice xx

A massive relief tho as I did get my self quiet worried so was worth getting checked out xx

Thanks for the update OP, great news. Best wishes for your pregnancy xxx
