Does anyone feel pressure when baby moves?

35 weeks pregnant with baby boy it’s my second pregnancy. I have a 7 year old daughter. Does anyone feel lots of pressure down there when baby moves? I don’t know what position he is in cause I haven’t had an ultrasound since I was 20 weeks. But when he moves I feel like he is trying to push himself out it hurts so much 😣. Didn’t experience this with my daughter. I also have pelvic pain.

Is he lower than your baby girl was?

He’s probably head down. And every pregnancy is different. I notice some women experience things more often their second or third pregnancy.

yes very low she was up in my rib cage most of the time

that’s what I’m thinking and hopefully he is I won’t know until I have another ultrasound unfortunately

@Natosha that's how my baby is now. She's low, doesn't touch my ribs at all, but the pressure of my pelvis can get pretty intense. I think it's pretty common for babies who sit low. It sounds like you might be experiencing a combination of lightning crotch and pelvic girdle pain, which is what I've had during this pregnancy. For reference, I'm 36+2.

Yes so much pressure and discomfort everywhere

Yes!! On my second baby boy (first is 6 years old) and I’ve been having sooo much pelvic pressure it’s unreal. Currently, 34 weeks pregnant and I know he’s head down since I get regular ultrasounds (due to complications).

C Section Date

I’m 37 weeks and I’m due on 6th April. I’m having an elective c section and haven’t been given my date yet, is anyone else in this situation? X

Phantom pain

So I had an emergency C-section and it's been already 6 months and there is days that I feel a really sharp stabbing pain reoccurring is that normal Am I just going crazy

Has your life become a living nightmare since becoming a mom?

Sometimes I become conscious of the fact that I just have to wake up tomorrow morning and do this all over again. Every day. And then I wanna bash my head into a brick wall

Overwhelmed!

I’m due in June with my first baby, we started saving money before I found out I was pregnant and have continued to save money however, as we’ve needed to buy lots of baby stuff, decorate her room etc, we’ve not been saving no where near as much so obviously our total amount of savings hasn’t been going up as much as we like.

We’ve just had our renewal for some bills like council tax (which has gone up) etc. I just feel really deflated and thinking how on earth are we going to survive when I’m on maternity pay 😕

I know everything will be okay but it’s just really got to me today.

Did anyone else feel like this? Was there any help or things you did to make it easier?

Baby boy is officially here 💖

Born yesterday at 39 weeks. A very fast labour. Woke up at 2.30am on the 16th to my waters leaking, contractions didn’t start till 4am and then I was 2cm dilated, at 10am my contractions were strong enough where I couldn’t talk but was only 3cm so had a sweep and was admitted into the birthing centre. By 3pm baby boy was born in the pool 💖 had a bad 2 degree internal tear but I’m so so happy I can stop looking at him

39 Week Induction Being Pushed On

Went to my 36 week appointment today and my OB was pushing for a 39 week induction.

I want a natural spontaneous labor but my OB kept pushing for the induction even if I’m low risk and healthy. Is anyone else experiencing this?
