You are getting close to the end. With everything that is going on in your body, growing baby, hormones, etc., you will feel growing discomfort.

You may want to check if you have a yeast infection, if your vagina is sore to the touch it could indicate something is going on. Yeast infections are COMMON during pregnancy and can be treated with some cream.

As babies get heavier, they feel like they are about to drop out of us. Perhaps you have 'dropped'? The baby is probably moving downwards at 35 weeks.

Be sure to tell these things to your doctor at your next weekly appointment and see what s/he says.

If you're worried about pelvic pain, talk to your midwife or doctor. They may pass it off as "general pregnancy pains", but if it is actually painful, not uncomfortable chances are its what I have, SPD (Symphesis Pubis Dysfunction). It occurs 1 out of 30 pregnancies and can be very painful, I'm being induced tomorrow a week early cos I can't take the pain. It comes in different severities from very mild to strong. I'd get it checked. xx

i have been having more pelvic pain just because my baby is lower now. and sometimes when i pee and i am having a contraction it is quite sensitive/sore down there! peeing and contractions are not a good combo!
but yeah ask your Dr next time you go. my pain isn't too bad though.
