Pain down there...

JessTy3

Hi Ladies,
28 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty good...   However, tonight and last Friday I've had fairly significant pain in my upper V or maybe lower uterus area.  Not sure of the exact location... It's intermittent and lasts less than 20 minutes.  Maybe the baby is sitting on a nerve?  And, it's only when I'm walking...stops when I'm sitting.  Its like a pressure pain but more pain than pressure.  I have a two year old so maybe lifting him is involved?  I'm calling the doctor in the morning but I was hoping to see if anyone else has experienced this.  Thank you!

Maybe lightning crotch? Sounds like the baby is just positioned weird.

I think you're right...  Thank you for responding!

@JessTy3 Just as a heads up, we have symptoms posts where we typically discuss the many discomforts of pregnancy. Also, since most of us have been on this board since May and are pretty active daily, we recognize those who come to us only to ask a question every once in a while and offer no other contributions to any other posts. 
ETA: My point being that you're more likely to get responses by posting in the appropriate avenues, as well as giving support to get support.

I've been having that too. It seems like it's just from stretching out and the baby moving down. My doc said it's normal. I wouldn't worry.

@cjs260 is there a requirement to be active daily or only reply to topics that are established? Not all of us have the ability to be that active and I didn't read that in the rules. Seems like this woman needed some feed back so why not just give it? Isn't that the point?

@lmctan We are a pretty established community here. In the *Read me first* Guidelines stickied at the top of the page, we do ask that people post in the appropriate threads, as well as use the search bar. You don't have to be regular to do either of those things, so no, you don't *have* to be active every day to respect our board guidelines. OP is a repeat offender in asking questions that pertain only to her, then vanishing to give no help to anyone else. So no, it's not the point of this board. We are not anyone's personal Google search,  and we don't appreciate being used as such. Would you walk into a group of friends, ask them a question and then walk away once you got your answer? Would you do it once every three weeks? Hopefully not, because it's really rude IRL, and it's really rude here, too. We have great friendships and bonds here, and we are willing to form those with anyone, but it does require respect and two way support.

On our current symptoms thread we are discussing "pain down there" and if you or the OP respected the community enough, you would take the time to find that, then post there. 

Also, can I just also add that we're all mature enough to be having babies, and we should be mature enough to call our "down theres" by their appropriate anatomical name - vaginas.

Got it...  Thanks for the heads up

Thank you...  Things have been quite chaotic for me these past few months.  I wish I was able to be more active!  If I saw a question from a mom to be that was not previously answered and I knew the answer, I would certainly love to help out!

I understand where you are coming from.  However, I don't think I deserve such a reprimanding from you.  Things in my life have been tough these past few months (I know I'm not the only one going through stuff).  I had a significant pain, the doctors answering service told me to call in the morning, I was super anxious, and asked your thoughts.  If you think I'm so rude, ignore me...
