Pain question

[lucky428]

I am having a ton of pelvic pain and pressure. It feels like she’s gonna fall out and at my appointment on Monday, the OB couldn’t really do an accurate measurement because her head was super low.

It’s so intense sometimes that I am unable to stand upright. It’s different from contractions and lasts longer than lightning crotch.

Is this just normal late 3rd tri stuff? I don’t remember it being this intense with my others.

I’m 38w1d. I’m wondering if I should pack my bag just in case... I’m having a cs in a week so i only have to tolerate this for a little bit longer.

Any experience with this?

This happened to me with my last pregnancy. It hurt so bad, I’m so sorry! Definitely pack a bag to be safe, but my last pregnancy ended in an induction at 41+1 so no telling if it’s indicative of anything, in my case it wasn’t.

This happened to me from 32 weeks. He was so low and dropped so damn early. I got induced at almost 41 weeks.

Thanks, ladies! I didn’t think it was a labor sign but my mom is in my head telling me it is. I figured it was one of those super fun end of pregnancy things.

Like all of pregnancy it COULD be a labor sign, or maybe not. Haha.

Lol!!! So true!!

Yeah end of pregnancy fun. This time I’ve been having pretty significant pain because she’s been so low. It happened much earlier this pregnancy than my first.
ETA- I think you should go ahead and pack your bag! Don’t be running like a nut if something changes.

Well you could just pack your bag because you're at 38 weeks

Could it be SI joint? I struggled with that at 28 weeks when baby was so low. A chiropractor who specializes in pregnancy really helped me.

I’m not really sure. Could be? I wish I could move my cs up a few days.

I ended up In L&D yesterday because of decreased movement. Luckily she passed her NST with flying colors and all is well. For me at least, this isn’t a labor sign as I am only a finger tip dilated. I was told this is more common in subsequent pregnancies and just stay off my feet as much as possible.

Do you have a support belt, or a wrap or KT tape? Basically, any way to lift your belly/baby off your pelvis a little bit that should be able to help with the pain.

Great idea. Thanks!
