3rd Trimester

37 weeks with a lot of pelvic pressure

I am going to be 37 weeks this Thursday. I am having pretty bad pelvic pressure and pain. I can't hardly move when it happens. Baby has been head down for 3 weeks now. Sometimes when I get the pressure/pain, I feel like I need to poop, but I don't really have to go. Didn't know if other people had experienced this and if I should be concerned with it? I don't want to be one of those people that call their doctor all the time near the end or go to L&D all the time. Thanks!

Re: 37 weeks with a lot of pelvic pressure

  • Yes, I've had this since 34 weeks. I get it all the time. If it comes and goes, I would say it's normal and just baby moving down. My doctor told me it's normal and not to worry. Just mention it at your next appt if it doesn't get more extreme or constant.
  • I have no idea if my baby has dropped yet. Will find out Thursday at my doc appointment but I have been having A LOT of pelvic pressure (like you are explaining) for the past 3 days. I hope that means she has dropped!! I don't think there is anything to worry about though, I am pretty sure it is normal.

  • Same here, plus she kicks alot or has her feet funny, and somtimes I think she has nails cause I feel like she is stabbing with them...or maybe they are just her toes idk:)
