I had that kind of pain for weeks before I had Maggie. Even after my c-section I was in pain for a couple months. I can’t believe it’s already time to meet your baby girl! So excited for you!

I've had that pain since 20 weeks

@josefa, I didn’t have it with my first 2 either.

Yes and it’s completely normal!

not me 🤷‍♀️

@beakymcspence, i know they say they can be off by a lb give or take but, with both my boys they were literally spot on. 🤞🏼🤞🏼.

@pachecobaby12, It’s tough too they said my middle was 7.6 and he was 10 lol so our methods of calculating size can be wrong.

@beakymcspence, with my first he was little only 6.12lbs. This one they say is about 7.8lbs. I really wanted her natural. I mean obviously whatever is safer for Baby and myself but I just wanted to try!

@pachecobaby12, As an L&D nurse I’d have my fingers crossed if I were you that you don’t go into labour before your scheduled csection with your previous history. When I went into labour before my csection it became an emergency we had to be to sleep. She was then stuck and due to the drugs she came out not breathing. I’m all for natural labour’s Ive had them, but with your history it’s likely safer to make it to your scheduled date and have things go smooth 🤣

Yes get a ice pack

@beakymcspence, yes I had a c section with my second bcuz he was too big. Had him at 2.5wks early. They wouldn’t even let me try with him. Good thing bcuz in surgery they still couldn’t get him out and had to call a second team in to help. The dr was on top of me pushing and nurses on sides wiggling back and forth to try and get him out. My incision even ripped because he was so huge. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@pachecobaby12, My daughter was engaged and putting pressure on my pelvis 2 weeks leading up to my csection. That being said I’ve also gone into labour prior to a csection date. With my natural delivery I had this for 3 weeks. It’s not really a sign of going into labour, and more of just position and weight on your pelvis. Why not just induce? Or have you had previous csections?

Yes and that pain continued postpartum as well

@beakymcspence, really?? I’m set for a c section on 7/6 because she is being stubborn and not wanting to come. I’m due today. I stand a chance of going into labor still?

Yes totally normal babe. It’s the baby putting pressure on your pelvic girdle. It happens in the end stages of pregnancy and usually once the baby is engaged. Very common complaint on the L&D ward and mom’s in the final weeks of pregnancy.
