Extreme Pressure......not Sure Why
Posted: 11-07-04 20:20pm

I am in my 36-37th week and for the past
week I have been getting this weird
pressure down below, it is hard to explain
but ill try.....It only hurts when I am
laying down and trying to move or get up,
going from sitting to standing. It
literally takes me 3 minutes to roll over
onto my other side at night when I am
sleeping. And takes me 5 minutes to get
up out of bed to use the bathroom. Once
I am up, I cant really bend my legs, I
have to walk extremely slow or else it
will hurt. I thought it might have been
muscles in my legs but it seems like it is
in my pelvis but I dont understand why I
all of a sudden started getting this
pressure/pain. I told my dr about it but
he wasnt worried. I was just curious if
anyone else has experienced this toward
the end of their pregnancy? I have not
dropped yet so I really wouldnt relate it
to the pressure of the baby's head engaged
and ready to come out. Any info would be
much appreciated. Thanks, mel

Yes, a lot of women get that, it is more
than likely your baby pushing on your
cervix, but don't worry (s)he won't pop
out!!! I had it with my second and with
this one staring around the same time as
you. Baby just kicking or punching at
your cervix, sometimes you may even feel
it in your bum, and that is really
weird!!! ( do you have sudden sharp
pains there that take your breath for a
second? That is what it does to me also)

Yup I remember that pain I think everyone
gets it I mean think about if you have got
like a 6 lb baby pushing on your cervix so
it's bound to cause some discomfort
besides your body is also preparing for
labor. Just try and relax and breathe
throught the pain as said above.

So it's normal to feel that pain when you
sleep because even if I put a pillow
between my legs I still get that pain
running down my leg. It's pretty
annoying.

All I know is we are more suseptable
(sp?!?!) to leg cramps and to keep them
away drink plenty of water, if I stretch
too hard when I wake up I get the worst
cramps ever, I want to cutoff my leg!!!
But it should be fine... Sorry how far
along are you?

It sounds like s/he dropped. If this is
your first, then i'm willing to bet that's
all that's going on.

i never drop until after my water breaks,
but I stil get those pains, if the baby
likes to be in a certain position all the
time and may be puching on a muscle that
connects to theones hurting in your
legs... It is so weird when it feels like
emma is kicking me in my thigh!!! But I
know she is just hitting a muscle, nerve
or ligament that connects there, sometimes
I can't stand up straight from it

I don't think she dropped though. I'm 29
weeks. I just get these pain when i'm
sleeping. Like it starts from my back hip
and it goes down my leg. It's so
uncomfortable I have to put my leg over my
boyfriend so I can feel better.

Sorry, sp.. That is probably just your
sporatic ? Nerve. That is what makes
mine worse because it is in the same area
as the pulled muscle I got when we had to
refuel the ship out in the gulf.

I guess that is what causes all that pain
I can't wait until it's over you know.

I have some what the same thing but mine
are stemming from my broken back/pinched
nerve. So for mine I have to opt not to
sleep because nothin helps but for you you
cold try a few things like amuscle rub.
That helps mine temp and may offer enough
releif for you to get to sleepp and alslo
tyneol pm is safe to take my dr has me on
two tabs of that and one pain pill a night
and it helps some what. I would try the
muscle rub though or a heating pad.
