I’m 37 weeks today and I keep getting immense pressure down below and feeling like I need a wee but when I go to the toilet there’s nothing.
Is this normal? I’m worrying over everything at the moment so any advice or reassurance would be fab.
Thank you x

I'll be 37 weeks on Friday and I have this occasionally. I assume it's fine but if concerned, I'd just ask your OB.

I’m also 37 weeks and I get this almost all the time. From what I understand it’s the weight of the baby. I just went for an ultrasound a few days ago and my babies head is right at my cervix so it could be the same for you. My pelvis also almost always aches. I talked to my midwife about it and she said it’s normal at this stage, it just means the baby is low

I’m 39 weeks and have been getting this for the last week, id say it’s baby’s head engaging or moving lower
