Epsom salt baths haven’t helped and I do try to relax I feel like my butt bone sore from having so many bowel movements a day for over a week now I heard ur stomach cleans it self out before labor

@melissaortega1995 you could be feeling more pain based on the weight of the baby, the position, and just from the fact that your muscles have already been stretched from the first baby so theyre not helping you keep the baby up. My second pregnancy I carried low the entire 38 weeks. My muscles were loose from Athena and didnt help much with support. Youre almost done, just take some epsom salt baths and try to relax

I’m 39 weeks today and never had this rectal pain with my first pregnancy

That's just normal pregnancy at 38 weeks
