Is it just me?!

I'm currently 32 weeks pregnant and I'm struggling so much with an aching pain right on my pubis. It literally feels like there's a bowling ball inside my vagina just sitting on the pubic bone and it is unbelievably uncomfortable. Anyone else suffering with this? And does anyone know how to ease it??

Yes, I have terrible aches at the moment, my pelvis and my back. I got an exercise ball, and sitting on it helps a lot. My consultant also suggested physiotherapy if it's still bad next week.

I'm 33+2 x

I get this a lot and often feels worse after I’ve been lying down or sitting for a while.

Mine is absolutely horrendous too, I'm 31 weeks x

32+3 and have horrendous PGP. Feel your pain, as others said the yoga ball helps a lot, try keeping your legs together when getting in and out of car and not standing on one leg/ holding your weight in one leg. E.g. putting trousers on. Warm baths or compress might help relieve it a little. X

I use my birthing ball a lot and practice different stretches to try and relieve it but it just seems to be getting worse. Perhaps physiotherapy is the way to go 🤷🏼‍♀️

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
