She was head down at my MW appointment last week but slightly to the side but my goodness it hurrrttttsssss
I’ve had the same and wondered what it was! I get an awful pain in my pubic bone when lifting one leg like when putting shoes/socks on or bending down! Feels like it’s splitting in half!!
@Laura yes this is what mine is like! If I’m sat still it’s fine but as soon as I move my legs oh my goodness
I've had this pain since 24 weeks ish and baby was breech then 😢 it's only got worse as time's gone on... it's pelvic girdle pain or symphysis pubis dysfunction. I'm 37 weeks now and it's agony. Unfortunately I haven't found anything that really helps, you can try a pelvic support belt, sleeping with a pillow between knees, sit down to get dressed, keep knees together when getting in and out the car etc, I find a hot water bottle between my legs soothes it but when I come to stand up and walk it's still no better 😅 xxx
I also had an increase in pelvic pressure/ache pain. Luckily I had a a midwife appt and a scan same week and they both confirmed baby is presenting cephalic (turned) but the pressure did die down after a few days, I guess now baby has found it’s comfy spot 😌
It could be if they're head down. Or it could just be your pubic and pelvic bones relaxing more with progressing in the pregnancy. I have the feeling of my pubic bone almost splitting in 2 😅 baby's still moving around alot so not necessarily head down. I'm 33 weeks x
