Baby possibly coming early?

I'm 30 weeks and feel the same 😩

So my sister just had her second baby a few weeks and and she definitely expressed that this most recent pregnancy and postpartum experience is definitely different then her her previous successful pregnancy so you may not actually have anything to worry about however if you really are concerned i would recommend going into L&D or calling the nurse line just to be safe it’s better to “waste time” and nothing be wrong then doing nothing and something is actually happening

I didn’t have any of my now symptoms with my first either, my vulva and clit are so swollen, I feel immense pressure when I pee, lots of hip/pelvic, uterus pain, Braxton and contractions but my cervix has stayed closed so it’s just every pregnancy is different, he is head down though since 30-31 weeks so I feel like that’s why I’ve felt it so bad there

I been like this for weeks. I'm 34 weeks 1 day

I’m 33 weeks with my second pregnancy and I’ve been feeling the same way. Totallly different experience than my first pregnancy! Tons of pains and pressure down there. Somedays I definitely feel like the baby is coming early

Sammmme! I have pressure even on my rectum from the inside where it feels like I need to go to the restroom. Never felt that before. My vulva also gets so much pressure from the change in blood circulation + the pressure of the baby 🥲 My midwife said this is normal for subsequent pregnancies because our body/muscles are basically resorting to muscle memory from having the first and that’s why (usually) the second one comes quicker. Also because the muscles aren’t as tight as they were in the first pregnancy, so baby moves down quicker. A generous amount of Epsom salt in my baths with lavender oil and using the exercise ball have helped relax the tension for me a lot. I take the baths as often as I have the energy to and before a nap or bedtime.
