I’m due in 5 days and today I have been in pain down below and keep getting sharp pains shooting down my privates and it’s like there’s pressure there and my lower back is also in pain, my waters haven’t broken. I don’t have an appointment until I’m 41 weeks, which is in 12 days. I’m starting to struggle to figure out if I need to wee or if it’s the pressure and pain. Has anyone else experienced this before? I can’t tell if they are contractions or something else.
