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
