I've had a pain in my left pelvis for a few days now, it's deep inside, low, not round ligament or nerve I don't think, it doesn't "shoot" or radiate anywhere. It's so low it's almost in my groin.
I pointed it out to my OB Friday morning and told him that I think baby's shoulder might be lodged there, and he palpated and agreed that the shoulder is definitely right there, although it's just best guess that that's what's causing the pain.
Here's what I've been doing:
--In the shower, on all fours, head down butt up.
--On the bed, same position.
--On a harder surface (so as not to fall!) similar position, but then lean towards my right sort of (I tried to lift my left arm even, and was able to for a short while, there's a similar position in yoga where you are on only one foot as well, but I don't dare try that right now
)
--I've been massaging the area and talking to baby a lot.
So I did all of this sporadically the last two days, and last night did it for a good 30 minutes, then went to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night with NO pelvic pain, but instead INTENSE lower back pain, and for a minute worried baby had moved posterior. I did a few minutes on all fours head down butt up, then went back to bed.
This morning I woke up pain free! Yay! It worked! I've had a busy day out and about, plus took both dogs for a walk, and since then the pain has come back WORSE than before. The pressure in my pelvis is INTENSE, and the pain in that one spot is pretty bad. Bad enough that I'm considering a tylenol before bed.
There's a little bit of achiness in my lower back, but not bad, and I might just chalk that up to a long day on my feet.
Is baby truly "stuck" on my pelvis? How the heck do I get him dislodged? He's still OA, I can feel his head obviously, but it's above my pubic bone, he's not engaged. He's plenty active, I can feel squirming inside my pelvis, and I have a lot of pressure way down low (including some cervix pressure sometimes, even though his head isn't engaged). He's otherwise in a great position, except this darn shoulder!! (if that's what this is).
Any other thoughts?????
