Pressure

38 weeks Ive been out to the shops today. And I've struggled! Was ok at first but then got this pressure, like really pushing down. Came home, went for a pee, made dinner and sat down. Usually the pain eases off. This time it's still there. It feels like the baby is pushing her head down, off-on-off-on. (Hard to explain sorry). I feel so heavy between my legs, I'm walking like john Wayne 😂 But seriously, is this just PGP or BH? Will a bath help? TIA

I keep getting this too and it’s really intense today and such sharp pains down there! I’ve had it on and off for a few weeks so no idea if it means labour is close 🫣I’m due on weds x

I have the same pressure at 37 weeks - my midwife said the baby is really low now, but that doesn’t mean he’ll come sooner than expected. We will see!

I'm at 37+5 and having the same pressure feeling as well as sharp pains and period-like soreness on my lower back so it's probably just our bodies getting ready

After long time and decided to buy some essentials for baby and for myself,during my stay in hospital and i been there around 1 hour-1.30 min and last 30 min it was pure torturing.. im 38 weeks today..I came home and done dinner,couple hours gone,pain no going..its concentrated in lower back right side and going down to middle of leg. Same it was when Thursday I was for check in and walking in hospital,next days again ok when no moving at home too much..Just when walking more today,pains really torturing,I think this is normal…

I’ve had this since week 35 and now at 40…. Sorry to say. It’s the pressure and it can also increase the lighting crotch as they move more down there. worse when u do a lot in ur day, remember to take it slower :)
