super amount of pressure, what is this? - Cloth Diapers & Parenting Community

myall4him2 · 09-04-2007, 06:17 AM

Hey!
I'm 37 weeks and on my way home from dropping dh off at work I started feeling all this pressure in my pelvic area, it was extradinarly uncomfortable. It would come and go. They're not what I think contractions would be like. The discomfort wasn't in my belly, just in my pelvic region where his head is.

What is this? It's my second child, but I had a csection with the first...never experienced labor, etc.

Maybe the baby dropped? Are you carrying any differently?

I had that with Max...turned out I was in the early stages of labor!

Good luck momma!

Early stages of labor? Like how long after did you go into labor?

The baby has already dropped. His head has been in my pelvis for a week or two now...

sounds like early contractions to me-try drinking a big glass of water and sit down with your feet up for 20 minutes-if they go away it may just be practice contractions=if the pressure continues call your health care provider-
good luck!
