  I've been feeling a lot myself and having some craaaaazy dreams about going into labor. It hurts to walk a lot of days but no real contractions

  I had pressure so bad 2 weeks ago I could barely walk and I swear I could feel baby's head super low. Went to L&D and turns out I was having contractions and slightly dilated (0.5 cm). They gave me Tylenol (muscle relaxant) and a huge jug of water then two hours later sent me on my way with no restrictions. The pressure got better day by day and I was fine for a week. But then this weekend I was trying to reach something on a top shelf and almost immediately started having pressure. About 20 minutes later, I was experiencing the same severe pressure and could feel baby really low. I ended up laying on my side and drinking a ton of water and she eventually shifted. So I guess the lesson here is drink more water ?

  I had this for the first time this morning and talked to my doctor about it.  She said as long as I am not having consistent contractions that don't go away with rest and water it can be totally normal.  The baby can engage and disengage prior to labor.

  I am relieved I'm not alone with this. I've been feeling pressure here and there but tonight I've been feeling it like crazy. I've had a sore back all day too so I'm relaxing with a heating pad and tumbler full of water!

  I've been having some pretty intense pressure that comes and goes. Not BH related. Resting is really the only thing that seems to help any. I feel like someone punched me in the vag.
  I would venture to say unless it's accompanied by consistent contractions or fluid, then it's pretty normal.

  I went to see my doctor today about pressure and some tightening in my stomach. She informed me that my discomfort was caused by dehydration. Call your doctor and get some feedback on what they would like you to do. They checked out several different possibilities before determining exactly what was going on. Good luck.
