Pressure......esp when I stand......

[sunshine's mama]

Hi there..

Just a question before I put a call into my MW about it....

I am 27w3d along now and my abdomen always feels like it's hard..like when you get a nice long braxton hicks....it's not painful but is still kinda hard like that when I sit down....

Also, when I stand up, I get a great feeling of pressure in the vaginal area that makes me stop and move very slowly..inside and along the tendons where my legs join....does that make sense...I had this same feeling the last few weeks I was pregnant with dd (delivered her at 41w5d even after walking around for the last few weeks at almost 5cm and 90%)......

It's just VERY UNCOMFORTABLE right now except when I am sitting which my 3yo dd is allowing me to do today....we are moving next weekend so I need to get to packing but it's becoming harder and harder bc of the heavy feeling and pain.....

I've luckily overcome the HG hump and am starting to feel a bit better and more human so that is good...I lost about 25lbs and have gained back about 4 or 5 of them....maybe since I haven't gained that much everything feels so tight bc it's ALL BABY in there????

Any advice???

May cross post in birth professionals too....

Hi Sunshine Mama,
I would definately put my feet up, get a big drink and let someone else do the packing and lifting if possible. I hope you got in touch with your midwife today. Please update us.

Thanks Nicole...

She wasn't able to get back to me yesterday bc of having to go to school to pick up her little girl who was sick so I am going to put a call in when they get there around 9am today and see if she's in yet....

I've read up some on Pubic Sym Pain but it's not the feeling I am getting.....just feels like the last few weeks of pregnancy with dd 3 years ago...whew...

I didn't pack much yesterday..just some clothes and I left the boxes where they were..I haven't been lifting any of them (except the bag with dd's babies in it...it's light and soft...) so I will just do up the closets and such and dh will have to do the rest...

Doesn't help that I woke up with a super sore throat, ears hurting and a cough today tooo....darn weather going from 90s to 50s for a few days.....

I'll update when I hear back from someone...I should've mentioned it when I was there this past saturday but it wasn't my MW, just a CNP who I am NOT fond of at the practice....so I was just happy to get in and out....

Thanks so much!
