I am 35 + 3 weeks pregnant and my husband just said he noticed my lower back had a buldge in like triangle shape.. anyways a quick Google later and it turns out it is Rhombus of Michaelis.

My back in that area has been so sore this week but just thought it was normal being in late pregnancy. I also think baby has dropped as yesterday afternoon after being sat down i could barely walk when I stood up and felt soooo much pressure in my lower belly and was very uncomfortable!

It's my first baby so I have no idea if this rhombus of michaelis is normal???

I thought that was something that moved in your pelvis when you're actually in labour? If your baby has dropped or changed position, it could be pressing on your back and pelvis, pushing it out.

If you're worried, try speaking to the MW?

Yeah that's all I can find online, which is why I'm so confused! Cos I'm pretty sure I'm not in labour 😂 I had a look myself in mirror and there's deffo a buldge there, I think I'll give her a call tomorrow just to see what she thinks but you're probs right!
