IS this what pressure feels like?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
My twins were both transverse and ended in a csection in 2007. I've never felt pressure, but I think I'm maybe starting to feel it now????
This week my OB checked me lightly and my cervix was very soft and baby is far down and in a great position, however no dilation at all.
But I've been contracting a lot more with pinching in my pelvis during the contraction and I think he's moved down even more cause my tummy is even lower. I am feeling MUCH more movement on my cervix and I even have some mild waves of nausea coming and going the last week or so (at night and day). I even woke up last night thinking I might throw up which isn't like me. I don't think its a virus, I think its pregnancy related.
I don't see the OB until May 1st and then I am 37 wks on May 4th. I just need to cook him at least until May 4th, but I think there are changes starting now.
Or does it just sound like regular 'ol pregnancy stuff at this point?

I haven't had any internal checks, but I get the same feelings. I don't think I'm going to have this baby real soon though. I had one night of contractions that never really went anywhere. I could tell they were just flitting around, not serious. Just annoying.
If you are worried at all, I'd take it easy if you notice them starting to pick up at all. And drink lots of water and pee. But now that I'm 37 weeks, I keep telling them to Do Something!

I wouldn't drink pee if I were you. (just had to tease you sarah!)

Last night I was sitting on my birth ball and i was feeling a lot of pinchy feelings in my cervix. It seems to happen every night. Lots of BH's and lots of cramps and pinches. I take it as a sign that I'm gearing up. You probably are too!!

I am feeling pinches a lot today. Seems like everytime I move I feel them. But then again maybe its just baby wiggling around on my cervix? I don't know! He must stay in until May 4th though. lol

Ok, maybe posting while dealing with my toddler isn't always the BEST idea! LOL
Just drink whatever. And then pee as often as you can. THAT'S what I meant to say! Having to pee always makes me feel contractions more.
I think my baby wiggles his/her head around on my cervix a lot. It feels very weird. But I do think it's doing something. I definitely feel different down there. Maybe this means we'll get most of the work out of the way before labor starts in earnest.

Oh I get those pinchy feelings on my cervix and lots of pressure in the lower part of my belly. Mostly in the evenings, I guess I figured it was because my body got tired at the end of the day so that's when I noticed it more.
