28 weeks, feeling like 38 weeks

Hey everyone I'm currently 28 weeks with baby number 4 and you'd think I'd know what to expect by now for the most part but I feel like I'm about to pop already. Everyone says I look like it too, they can't believe it when I tell them I'm not due until July.

Along with incredible back pain, being uncomfortable, not sleeping, and all the other normal symptoms at this point I feel like baby has dropped already but I still feel him kicking and moving up high so he can't have. I'm having contractions all the time though nothing regular yet, incredible pelvic pain and pressure like babies head is engaged and trying to push on the cervix, every time I move I'm in so much pain which is normal for right before delivery but its still so early I'm getting nervous about going into labor early and losing baby. 

Anyone else having a similar experience?

  • Welcome to The Bump! Around here, we keep our boards neatly organized by topic. New folks who don't recognize this don't usually get the warmest welcome. If you look around, you'll see that we have threads for symptoms, random comments, etc. This post belongs there.

    That said, the women here tend to be very supportive, especially when moms are in crisis. I can personally vouch for that!!! The reason we like to keep things uncluttered is so we can easily see important posts about real emergencies.

    If you change the title of this post to GIF PARTY, we can all have some fun.



    Thank you sorry about the misplaced post I guess I missed the thread. The app on my phone is quite screwy.

    what does your OB suggest? This is better brought up with your practitioner not random strangers in the interwebz 
    I never seem to have luck with drs before getting pregnant I was seeing my Dr for chest pains that I was getting everyday and they just brushed it off because I'm so young. 

    At my last appointment I brought up the severe pains and the fact the my chest pains have been worse. (Before it was activity that brought them on now its anything including laying down) OB just said its normal and brushed it off. Same thing with the lump I have right next to my breast under my armpit, they keep saying oh its just a swollen lymphnoid and it'll go away. I've had it for almost 4 months now. 

    I more or less just wanted someone to tall with about the pains we all go through for pur little ones. And I thank you very much for taking the time to reply. :)
