Ouch! Pelvic pressure

[Stephane]

This baby is just absolutely everywhere. I keep having pelvic pain, and hip pain, and it just hurts everytime the baby moves.

I just felt the need to whine to people who might actually understand.

Me too! I hate getting up from sitting or lying down bc the pain is so horrible to get up! I feel like my hips need to be pressed back together...yuck! I am soooo ready for baby to join us, but it could be another 5 weeks for me! God help me if it does take that long :LOL !!

I hear ya. I keep getting a jabbing pain in my right buttock, which I think is the magical sciatic nerve pain I keep hearing of, as it makes it incredibly hard for me to walk. I've read squatting helps to form the forewaters which helps you to dialate, which makes things go quicker, but I can't even walk, much less squat! About the only thing I can do is sit down. Can't sleep. Can't walk. I'm so ready for this baby to be out!

Ugh, I can't wait for this pain to be over with! Everytime I get out of bed, it takes forever, because of the sharp shooting and popping pain that occurs in my right thigh where it meets my pelvic bone! And, the fact that ever since baby could give good kicks and punches, she's been using my round ligament for a punching bag! Now that she's bigger, it's hurting like hell, ALL THE TIME!!!

It'll be soooo nice to be done with this, then be done with labor, then recover, geez, does it ever end? :LOL

BTDT...I'm owed a T-shirt!!

I had an constant pelvic ache with ds2 (10lbs at birth) for the last two months, and it took me ages to get out of bed in the morning...something literally had to clunk back into place before I could move much. :

Fortunately, it is temporary. It all magically goes away once baby is out.

I have been experiencing exactly the same pain. I honestly thought bits of my pelvis would come out with the birth, they hurt so badly. But my wonderful midwives suggested my blowing up the birth (yoga) ball early and using that to sit on and roll around on. It amazingly helps. I can roll around on that and get some movement and it relieves the pressure on my pelvis and i dont feel that obnoxious pressure in my butt either! Hope it helps if oyu try it

My pelvis pain got worse today. right as i was walking into the mall with the boys it started hurting really badly. it only hurts that bad if im walking on it though. we walked around hte mall, of course. i've had some contractions taht are hurting now (rather than just random painfree contractions lol) but they aren't regular as far as i can tell. about 45 seconds long. possibly early labor? my son says she'll be here in the morning. I'm really hoping so since my brother leaves Thursday morning but who knows.

I'm going to take a bath when my husband gets home.

It seems like this pelvic pain started earlier with my last baby, so I'm trying to just be grateful I don't have that much longer. I have tried sitting on the birthing ball, and it feels great while I'm on it. But getting up from the ball, I have even more pressure. It's like the baby drops down even further in that position (probably a good thing, I'm sure) and it's incredibly painful!

Oh and sometimes my butt and/or girly parts fall asleep on the ball! Is that really weird? :LOL

[FitMama]

I'm a wreck too. All the same symptoms everyone else has mentioned. AND I CANNOT SLEEP. Sciatica is a complete nightmare.

I keep telling myself that when it becomes completely unbearable, then labor will begin.

I have been having similar problems and started going to a chiropracter a few weeks ago. It has helped SO MUCH. I really recommend it.
