Lots of pressure at 35w3d

[allthingssparkly]

Currently 35w3d, I have had cramping on and off since yesterday morning.

This morning I'm experiencing so much pressure below, more so when I'm walking around. If you've had similar what helped ease it for you? I've already been on my ball this morning and I'm temped to go for a warm bath!

Never noticed symptoms like this, at this stage in pregnancy with my children and I was induced with both at 40+ weeks. So I don't even know what to look out for if this could be a slow start of early labour 😳

I had this but my cramps were high up and were braxton hicks. The pressure is awful! I’ve had it since about 30 weeks and it just feels like the baby is going to fall out. My midwife said it’s because my stomach muscles aren’t as strong as they were the first time round but it makes it difficult walking!

I'm 36+5 with baby #4 and can really relate. I've been querying early labour since 33w but still here. Back pains, pelvis pains, pressure in front and back bum. Still plodding on. I wonder if as PP said it's because muscles aren't as strong now. I've certainly never had this.

It's very bizarre for me too @GoT1904 I have also noticed that when I get the cramps, I get a couple real close together and then the next ones may not be for 1-2hours later!

I've got my 36 week growth scan and consultant appt on Monday morning and it can't come round soon enough, so I can explain what's been happening x

This definitely happened to me in late pregnancy. Wasn't early labour for me it was just the baby engaging and being low down in my pelvis. It didn't go away until he was born! Hope you get some relief though! I just rode it out until he was born. He was born 39 weeks though so hope you are same!

Thank you @SisterA 😊 My little one was footling breech at my 33 week growth scan, however I'm now certain he has flipped because its only very recently I've been experiencing this pressure low down, literally feels like all will fall out when I'm walking 🙈
