3rd Trimester
Lots of Pelvic pain/pressure -31 weeks pregnant
I'm 31 1/2 weeks pregnant with my first, we're having a baby girl.
I'm due December 13th.
For the past 2-3 weeks i've been feeling an incredible amount of pelvic pressure and sharp pains in my vagina. At night when i'm laying down in bed, I have to put a pillow underneath my hips/butt area just to relieve the pressure/pain. and when i'm sitting straight the pain just gets worse.
I also noticed it when she moves alot too. After the pain stops, I have the urge to urinate. So I go to the bathroom and I notice a clear liquid (like water) in my undies? it doesn't have any color to it, other than it looking like I spilled water on my undies. And it doesn't have a scent either?
Could I possibly be leaking amniotic fluid? And do you think this is a sign of me dilating?
I've read up on a few blogs and some women have said they could "Feel" themselves dilate?
Thanks in Advance ladies
PS. my next appointment is Oct 23rd.

Re: Lots of Pelvic pain/pressure -31 weeks pregnant
I have similar things going on and from what I am told (this is my 3rd baby but first time feeling like this), all of that is normal towards the end. Pressure and pain is from hips moving apart and baby is bigger so putting more pressure down there. Since it is moving + baby pressure, you get sore and very sensitive to the touch (when my midwife was measuring me, she pressed one end of the tape down on my pubic bone and I nearly jumped off the table).
As for the liquid, I also heard that when you get up from sitting, or walk for a bit, sneeze, cough hard, etc. you can leak a little urine. Since you are going to the bathroom more often, it won't smell as strong as regular urine. But I would mention the liquid to your dr on your next visit. Good luck!
I would mention it to your doctor, but it's very normal. It started for me around 28 weeks and just keeps getting worse.
