anybody else's vagina (surface), pelvis area sore?

[Sophia&Daria]

I'm 33 weeks am getting sore down there like I have been banging the area somewhere. I haven't been so wild and active in bed to blame it on that.

Oh is that what it is? I haven't taken a look.

Yep. Walking, lifting, and even just rolling over in be feels like someone is taking a sledge hammer to my lady-bits.

Yes, ouch! I'm 34 weeks and have been feeling this way for a while. Swimming is the only thing I know of that relives the pressure. Besides, well, birth.

get a maternity support belt. there is too much pressure on your vaginal area and the belt will left the belly and help your back support the area more. sometimes they are pricey but well worth it! I could hardly walk at the end of my third pregnancy and wore the belt all day every day for weeks and it made a huge difference!

the belt is NOT the same thing is a belly bandit or other maternity item. its like this

but you can get ones that dont have the top strap. i would personally just go for the top of line! dont want to go cheap with stuff like this.

I am due in September and many of the ladies in my Due Date Club on Facebook are starting to complain about this.. we are all about 19-21 weeks along.

God bless!

I have a support belt almost exactly like that. Unfortunately, for me, it doesn't help. To the contrary, it ended up digging into my upper back and chafing/pinching me (even when worn on top of an undershirt).
Lots of women love them though, so I was very disappointed when it didn't work for me. Thankfully, insurance covered it, so I didn't have to pay out of pocket for it.

I'm having the same issue! My back is killing me too. I might have to try one of those. How did you get insurance to pay for it?
