Evening everyone. First pregnancy here. I was just wondering if anyone here at my stage now or previously, has experienced pressure very low down at this stage? Especially when I get up from sitting and walk it feels quite uncomfortable in the crotch area?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I had this when I was pregnant from about 35 weeks. I still went to 42 weeks and had to be induced though unfortunately. Make sure you take it easy

Yep - 38 weeks here and hve been having this a fair few weeks. Midwife said it's where baby was bobbing head in and out of pelvis. He's engaged now so I have that sensation all the time 🙈🙈🙈 oh the joys!

I think we will have the same due date 💐
Exactly the same feeling, very sharp, nearly bringing me to tears sometimes since about 32 weeks. I'm convinced baby is moving down for a bit then coming back up again (2nd DC so possible)

I find just trying to move a lot slower getting up and stretching out when possible helped a little

Yep, 38+3 weeks here and he has been very low down for a while now, feels like a bowling ball resting on my cervix. This is baby number 6 and it was like this with baby number 5 as well but not so much with the others. Also period pain throughout the day
I think my body is getting ready!!!!
