NOT A UTI WOULD COULD IT BE

[Hollie257]

Saw my midwife today she tested my urine and said it all looked ok- past few days I’ve been having a heavy sort of feeling on my bikini line and today I’ve had a constant dull ache sometimes getting stronger and feels tender when I stand up straight anyone know what this could be? My midwife didn’t exactly re assure me

How far on are you OP? I had the same thing start at around 15 weeks and turns out I have PGP 😬 I'm 31 weeks now and some days are easier than others but it can be very painful/uncomfortable with a lot of pressure down below!

Sorry I’m 15+5 😊 what’s PGP? I was worrying because today it’s been constant pain/ discomfort and pressure when I wee- the past 2 nights I have been busting for a wee but couldn’t go until I walked around the house a little bit x

I didn’t quite have that but from 15/16 weeks I needed the toilet but when I went hardly anything would come out. I had the urgency and full bladder but also struggled and it was like a very slow dribble for what felt like a full bladder. There was something else too but I can’t remember because I thought I might have a uti and went to the doctors for it at 18 weeks. I didn’t have a uti and shortly after my urine went back to normal-ish. I say ish because some times I still have that very slow wee and I’m now 27 weeks along.

Pelvic girdle pain my love, have a look online. It's nothing to worry about and baby will be fine, it's just uncomfy for mama! Just the weight of baby on your pelvis. It usually disappears when baby is born, like I say I have good and bad days with it but it'll be worth it :) you can buy things like pregnancy belts to help, also try sleeping with a pillow between your legs! That definitely helps me x

Round ligament pain ? Xx

Ahhh thankyou! Maybe could be this then! Just hate having any sort of pain I had a MMC before this and just terrifies me of something happening again xx
