I'm new here. I'm 35 weeks pregnant and having a hard time need some help please.
I've been getting lots of pelvic pressure and hurts when i move. I've been getting pain around my vagina too. At the moment i've got what i can describe as tummy ache and getting cramps in back and lower tummy. Any advice would be great. Thanks x

These sound like contractions MrsCraig. You need to give the hospital a call and see what they say.

I hope you are both OK.

Hi MrsCraig, fairly new here myself too and I'm also 35 weeks pregnant.

The first part of what you described sounded to me like SPD or something of that nature. With my last pregnancy, this kicked in at around 35/36 weeks and stayed around until my dd1 was born at 40+9. If this does persist you could try to get a referral to the obstetric physiotherapy service at your local hospital, they can give you a support belt and recommend some exercises etc. I have been finding that this lessens a lot if I rest and avoid any strenuous lifting/exercise etc.
Saying that, the latter part of your description 'tummy ache and getting cramps in back and lower tummy' sounds like this may be the start of labour, or at least pre-labour symptoms, so would defo be worth ringing your midwife and keeping an eye out for other signs I think. Good luck
