sorry probably too much information. Some days it would go away but some days it will last for hours. Anyone experienced this and knows what it is. They say my daughter is almost 2 weeks bigger then normal so it would be like I'm 33 weeks instead. I thought it was Braxton hicks but I don't quite understand what that is. This is my second baby my first baby I didn't have any complications or even contractions so it's all new too me because this baby is giving me a run for my money lol. Thanks

    It just means you are heading towards the finish line. It's one of the many pleasures of the third trimester. I spent most of third tri feeling like the baby was going to come pushing out either through my vagina, my anus, or burst through my abdomen in an Alien-like manner. So not fun but it's normal.

    Edited to add, it is probably from the baby shifting positions. Some baby positions are more uncomfortable for the mom than others.

    I had this. The pressure could be from baby being head down and pressing on your cervix. It's uncomfortable but you should be fine!
    Braxton hicks are practice contractions that cause your whole abdomen to feel hard as a rock but should not hurt.

    OMG, I thought I was the only one (about both the first and second part of your post!). I'm right there with you! And I guess by definition I'm having Braxton hicks too.. I didn't know! I was just assuming it was baby moving! Good to know!

    I feel the same thing. I'll be 30 weeks tomorrow, and I feel pressure all the time where my anus is, and when I told my husband he just kind of looked at me like "um..." Not a pleasant feeling! i feel it in my pelvic area too, especially when I'm sitting in a chair. Talk about annoying!

    It's the position of the baby. I didn't have it with my son & this pregnancy is started around 28 weeks or so & just got better last week as my baby dropped. I honestly felt like somebody took a baseball bat to my crotch! It was horrific. I developed varicose veins "down there". They're already getting better & from what I'm told they'll go away after the delivery. I bought a V2 supporter online which was the only way I could get through the day. I HIGHLY recommend it!!! Good luck!!
