Bladder pressure and hip growing pains or is it something else

CynthiaVRey

Last few days I feel pressure on my bladder and lower abdomen hurts not pain but soreness and lower back too. Anyone else experiencing this? I readable baby is sitting low has anyone ever experienced this. I feel like I've called my doctor about everything and I don't want to be that annoying patient just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this yet . I'm 25 weeks 6 days !

My lower abdomen and sides of belly get sore, usually at the end of the day. I think its just the weight of the baby and growing pains for me. And it seems like there is always something bothering my back!

I've had a lof of pressure this time around especially if I'm up for long periods I time. I carry low and he has been kicking pretty low for the past couple of days. You can always call, that's why you pay them so much money. My pressure is relieved though once I rest for awhile.

It's okay to call if you're worried!

That said, lately I notice I get a lot of pressure/discomfort across my abdomen when I have to pee, especially if I can't go right away and I'm walking around.  The muscles feel tight and they do hurt until I am able to get to a bathroom.  I also get lower back pain if I do a lot of physical activity or just walk a lot.

I'm carrying extremely low (like, so low that I'm not exactly sure where this baby will go when he drops) and I have this. It's been especially bad the last week or two...our seven hour drive last weekend was miserable. As soon as I peed, I'd have intense pressure and the urge to to again. We checked for infection and all's well...he's just cozy on my bladder and never moves. My stomach is tender and sore too. It almost feels like my abs are splitting (which I guess they probably are a bit lol) and my belly button hurts. Sometimes you just get lucky

If you haven't been checked for a UTI or bladder infection lately, it should be a quick lab visit and no big deal for the office. I'd ask just to be sure you're not dealing with something serious.

I've had this too. It's really picked up the last couple weeks. I even went home one day from work because it was bothering me so much! I never had that break where you don't feel like you have to pee all the time.

I am dealing with the same thing.  My lower back has been killing my and yesterday I was having alot of pain and pressure around my lower abdomen.  I just tried to relax and stretch.  I am not sure if it was my bladder or for sitting so much at work ( I have a desk job)  It is better today.  I am 25 W 1D.

I had the same thing a few days ago. Only when I stood up to go to the bathroom for the umpteenth time. I think he was sitting in a really low awkward position b/c I could barely stand up straight without my lower abdomen and lower back feeling lots of pressure (only on my left side though). By the time I got back from the bathroom, it stopped. But when I got up a 2nd time it was the same thing. Hasn't happened since so I'm really thinking he was just in some weird spot.

I have this too. It's so effing annoying!!!

And OP I have what you're describing. Baby stays very low and I have a lot of soreness and pressure across my pelvis.

I am also experiencing this with additional cramping in my hips. I just ordered a belly belt for support and a full body pillow to help me sleep . It's suppose to work wonders especially when your baby is low and putting pressure on your lower back and bladder.

Sounds like round ligament pain. Try relaxing in a bath to ease the tension.

Baby was kicking my cervix yesterday and I felt pretty achy for awhile afterwards. I could tell that's what it was because there were kicks in that general area around the time it started hurting. My whole body hurts much more this time around. My back, my hips, and sometimes I get shooting pain that runs up my leg when I walk.
