34 weeks with so much pressure and pinkish discharge

Knottie27569681 · August 2015

I'm sure this is more than likely normal, maybe not for as far along as I am but the pressure is unbearable. I feel like I need to go to the bathroom and just sit on the toilet because it's almost like a bowel movement when I know I've already had one and I have the feeling like I have a UTI on and off through out the day but I know I don't..And to top it off last night I had slightly bloody discharge but I'm not one to run to L&D. I hate the hospital so I'm trying to delay going as much as possible..Even though my sister told me I needed to go I feel like they're just going to tell me I'm starting to dilate. Anyone else going through this? And does this mean my little man is coming sooner than later?

At my birthing class, they mentioned these symptoms and possible signs of labor. I'd go get checked. Especially the intense pressure.

The pinkish discharge you described sounds like it could be your mucus plug. That in combo with the intense pressure could signify early labor. I would definitely recommend calling your doctor right away, even if you aren't sure if you need to go in.

Sending well wishes and happy thoughts!!

I would go now. If you're still worried then you NEED to call your doctor and see what they say. But pressure like that often means baby is in the birth canal, coupled with bloody show, could mean labor. 34 weeks is premature so please GO!

I agree with previous people. The pressure to push was similar to pressure from a bowel movement but much more intense. Good luck. Worst case everything is fine and you can go back home. Better to check it out.

I was feeling like I needed to have a bowel movement and it ended up that's how contractions felt for me.

@Knottie27569681 how are you doing? Did you go to the hospital? Hope everything is ok!

Please go to L&D

Id get checked by a doctor.
At this point my doctor said signs to go to the hospital would be contractions 3-5 minutes apart taking my breath away and blood.
