Okay sooo... I need help?!!
Okay sooo... I need help?!!
Yesterday I had my weekly cervical check and just like the week before nothing is happening.. I'm not thinned out at all and not dilated but that's not why I'm writing to get advice... All day today I've been having cramps in between my upper thighs (feels like Charlie horses) hurts pretty bad.. Also I've been having non stop pressure in my butt (like I need to poo) sry tmi! Hurts to even walk or lay down which is weird and now I can't really sit directly on my butt I have to sit kinda sideways. I was wondering if any of u lovely ladies experienced this and what it could be.. My docs office is already closed and it's Friday :-/ lol.. I've been trying to google it but I'm getting a bunch of answers that range from it's labor to the baby moving downwards. Any of u ladies feeling the same way or have had this with any of your pregnancies?

Yep! How far are you? Sounds like the baby is moving down. Contractions will be steady and will steadily get worse. Take a warm bath and if they don't go away after that I would go to the hospital if you can't get comfy.

Most likely though it's just false labor contractions, pressure, or baby is on a nerve :(. Right there with you girl!

@cngo Ill be 37 weeks Sunday.. I'm not really too concerned about it unless it becomes unbearable for me. I figured it's most likely him moving down. This is my second baby and with my first I had zero pains even thru contractions. I know it's hard to believe lol but this little boy is causing a lot of pain lol. Just wanted to know of any outcomes that y'all had if u feel or felt the same as me today
I will def be taking a warm bath lol probably when dh is setting up the crib! Thanks!

I've been having the same sensations the last week and she is my second baby also. My midwife said it's the baby moving down.

I'm right there with you! I had none of these symptoms with my first and crazy symptoms now with my second!

My first I had no dilation until 2 days prior.

#1 i feel the exact same thing u are explaining.. #2 i too have made zero progress so far..(i have 2 other kids..one i was induced at 42wks at 2cms and 70% effaced.. baby #2 i went into labor at 39wks however bother children ended in emergency csection) Im due for a csection on dec 4th due to the prev csections. How awesome for u to have such a great birth for your first child! Okay so the pain/sensations u feel.. a couple things..if your hips or pelvis are out of place the baby can be pressing on nerves and just over all not in perfect head down position. In fact ur hips and pelvis being out/off with keep the baby from engaging and u making progress.. sometimes it corrects itself..other times a chiropractic adjustment from a chiropractor who knows how to adjust pregnant women helps a TON! I recently got adjusted and felt worlds better. Try to relax abt birth.. what will be will be ..hopefully another smooth labor..but either way youll have ur baby soon! I take baths every night and try to drink lots of water! Good luck!
