38+2 feeling lots of pressure and very uncomfortable!

[xfingerscrossedx]

Hi all,

First pregnancy, just wondering if this is normal. Baby very wriggly, 3/5 engaged - had antenatal appointment yesterday and all well. Today I feel like a cowboy without a horse... very sore and achey top of thighs. Also have lots of pressure in groin area and in my bottom - extremely uncomfortable and not sure where to put myself. Also feel quite sick. Belly often quite tight, but not any pain.

Is this normal?

Thanks x

Im 38+4 with dc2 and am exactly the same!

I saw the mw today and baby is still 3/5ths engaged (it was 2 weeks ago)

I find that sitting in my armchair with cushions on either of my bum (IYSWIM) helps with the pressure.

I hope things start soon for you. I asked for a sweep today because I was so uncomfortable - I was told not until Im 40+7! Great!
