3rd trimester ladies-do you have this horrible pressure and pain?

just wondering and sure it has been posted in the past- i have the most excrutiating pain and pressure in my pelvis-so heavy and uncomfortable feels like the baby is going to fall out. does this mean she is simply moving down? this has been happening every sunday for like 3 weeks and then by monday morning i feel totally fine again? anyone else have this come and go? thanks!

I dont have this pressure constantly, but more when the baby is moving... when he's moving a lot it feels like he is trying to crawl out of there...

I have a lot of pelvic joint pain. From what I understand of the pain I experience its kinda like hip dysplasia in dogs, your joints loosen and go outta whack. There maybe many reasons for the pain though, I'm no doc.

i get this pressure pretty often now. Its not constant, but if im walking a lot it kinda feels like the baby just sank into the birth canal. I also feel it when i have been sitting for a while and just stand up. Its uncomfortable, and hope it doesnt become constant.

After a particularly long weekend of walking at 33 weeks, I started to feel really bad pressure down there. At my 35 week appointment, I mentioned it and my Dr's eyes lit up and she did an internal. I was only a fingertip dilated, but it was progress. She said that when you start to feel that "kicked in the crotch" feeling it means there's likely "something dilating/effacing down below."

I had it often throughout my 2nd and 3rd trimester

Re: 3rd trimester ladies-do you have this horrible pressure and pain?

I had this at the very end. It was the baby moving into position for me. It is a scary feeling b/c it literally feels like the baby is going to fall out.

Don't worry - he didn't I called my OB though to let her know since it was 4 weeks before DD.

Yes, it's normal. I have lots of pressure and pain. Hip, sacral pain at night. Pressure down there is very constant now and sometimes just plain painful!

My hips crack at night when I turn.

Remember, ligaments are stretching still and your joints are also more loose due to pregnancy and hormones.
