Pelvic Pressure

Hello all, I'm new to the forum but would read all the time! I figured I'd get help from the people who know it the most!!!

I have been feeling the WORST pelvic pressure the past couple days that I haven't been able to even walk. I'm not dialated (was checked yesterday and I'm only 1 cm) so I'm not worried about something happening. But, has or is anyone else experiencing this? It's bringing me to tears every time I have to get up and walk anywhere around the house.

By the way, I'm 35w and 2d.

 

What kind of pressure do you mean? Does it feel like you need to have a BM?

Welcome to TS and congrats on your twins!

 

I am not nearly as far along as you but I do have pelvic pressure because of baby A's location. He has staked claim to my pubic bone area. This is routinely verified by my u/s's. That being said it is just general pressure with occasional sharp pains but nothing regular and generally frommoving around (I think he gets mad and kicks me). Outside of standing on my head to get him to move up a bit, my Peri tells me this will just continue.

As a pp asked is it like bowel movement pressure because that could be more contraction. Since you're so much further along I would try and stay aware of ebbs and flows as these may be subtle contractions.

 

I am right behind you I feel pain down there too, but I would not necessarily say it is a ''pressure'' feeling, it mainly feels really sore there to the point where I am really waddlin and "owwing" around. It really really hurts though when I am sitting for a period of time and then get up, or when I am sleeping and try to roll over or get up out of bed, and it gets worst everyday I have no clue what it is and never asked my doctor because the pain never lasts too long but it has intensified.

 

Would you call it Pain or pressure? Bc i have horrible pain/swelling down there because baby A's head is down in there... If it feels like you need to BM you need to go to L&D ASAP!!

 

i have the same thing. my dr. said it is normal pelvic pressure , like you have been riding a horse all day!!! HEhEH

 

Well, I suppose I shouldn't have said pressure. It is more like a pain type of thing, sometimes i feels like pressure when I'm laying down or rolling over. Sometimes I feel a "popping" feeling when I walk. It actually brought me to tears today.

I know A has taken claim of the lower region (way lower) down there, so it might just be him and B fighting it out to stake their claim!!

Thank you all. It's make me feel better to know that other people are or have gone through the same things. Makes me feel a little better and less paranoid!!!
