35 weeks - tons of pressure in the vaginal and rectal area????

My OB says this is normal but it is so painful at times. I am wearing a maternity belt but still it kills when I walk and move. Anyone have or had this??

Normal! My OB told me to start feeling a lot of pressure in the next couple of weeks (I am 30 weeks). I already feel a ton of pressure so I cant even imagine how I will feel at 35 weeks

40+ weeks & feeling the same. OB told me the lower the baby gets, the more pressure you will feel. She said it doesn't necessarily mean labor is coming soon, just your body getting ready

Oh gosh I hope this baby is as low as it will get lol....b/c I can't imagine more pressure unless I am pushing, LOL

im 34w2d and i feel it too. i also have extreme lower back pain and contracting. i dont think i can do this for another 6 weeks. im so uncomfortable and its painful to walk.

Yes I get that. Soemtimes I get a stabbing pain down there. All has to do with the pressure of the baby and how he is is lying.
