Feeling a lot of pressure

Hi everyone. Im currently 32 weeks pregnant. And my baby boy has been upside ready to come since i was 5 months pregnant. Ever since he got to thst position ive had a lot of pressure in my vagina area. Today i couldnt go to work because the pressure and pain was unbearable and i could barely walk to the bathroom. Ive spoken to my doctor about this and she just says that its normal and that i could continue working, but she doesnt want to check my cervix or anything. I been concerned because i could feel him pushing down. I didnt feel any if this with my first pregnancy. What can u do?

Re: Feeling a lot of pressure

  • Whereas normal, especially for a second pregnancy, my doctor has been suggesting a belly support band to me for my pelvic pressure.  I am a few weeks further along and not quite as incapacitated as you seem, so I have put it off, but I have heard it does wonders.

  • I use a belly support band to keep LO up out of my pelvis a bit. Apparently the pressure feeling can get more pronounced with each pregnancy. I’ve definitely been feeling more pressure earlier this time around. I’m 32 weeks today and noticed it getting worse around a week ago. 
  • I agree that it just sounds like second pregnancy pains. Try a pregnancy support belt.

  • Thank you everyone for your answers. I will try the belly band support.
