Help! 31 weeks and serious discomfort in pelvic area

[Madigan]

Can anyone help? It feels like my bladder is permanently full, even when it is not .... and last night is was actually painful when I stood up after getting out of bed. It just feels generally painful in my pelvic area. Think I had it with last pregnancy, but not as bad. And now I am worried that it might mean that baby is coming early?
The best way I can describe it is that it feels likw when I had cystitis, but I do not have any infection I don't think (although may go to doctor to check tomorrow)) - does not hurt when I pee. But just feels like bladder is full and very achey.
Can anyone help????? Thanks xxx

I had a similar feeling with my first baby, it turned out to be SPD, caused by the softening of the pelvis - you should look this up in your pregnancy book for a better definition. I was referred to a physio and chiropractor which really helped in recover after birth, and now with my second pregnancy. But of course, yours might be something completely different!

No i do not think that is what it is ..... have just googled it. Pelvic area is not sensitive to touch, which seems to be a key symptom of SPD .....
wonder what it is ????? .

Yes - will see doctor tomorrow. thank you for advice xx

dont know if this will help but i sort of get the same i sit with small pillow or cushion underneath my bum it seems to relieve the pressure but when i dont it comes back so its a permenant thing for me at the moment till i due in 6 weeks.

thers no harm in trying, it might work for you too madigan.
