Hi
Im 31 weeks pregnant and since early afternoon today I've been experiencing lightening pain between my legs, back pain and I've been finding it difficult to walk.
I previously attended maternity assessment 2 weeks ago as I had strong braxton hicks. Does this seem like pgp or just another version of braxton hicks? I dont want to jump to conclusions but I'm also a little worried because the pain is waking me when Im trying to sleep rather than just being uncomfortable. This is my second baby. Does anyone have advice? Trying to lie in different positions, tried baths, hot water bottles etc.

Just to add i also feel like the baby feels very low down in my pelvis.

Lightening crotch is what it's called. Very common especially in 3rd trimester. Have never heard of any ways to ease it unfortunately
