pain

I'm 33 weeks and 2 days. I started having an extreme amount of lower back pain, left side pain and pelvic pain. I normally have ligament pain, etc but definitely not like this. It just hurts so bad I want to cry, but there is no bleeding, pelvic pressure or amniotic fluid happening as far as I can tell. I just really don't want 6 more weeks of it being this bad and getting worse :(. Anyone else experience this or have any advice?

  • Do you feel any cramping or contractions?
  • Sounds like to me that baby is just settling down and as he or she is getting bigger they begin putting pressure on nerves. So it is normal to have the discomfort. It may ease up or increase as you get further along. Hope you get some relief.
  • Well braxton hicks but they don't hurt at all and there aren't 4 or more in an hour. She is still moving too. I have had a few times where I was cramping a little, but didn't last long. @medstudent1986
  • Thanks @melinda326 I hope so too.
  • You need to pay very close attention to the signs of preterm labor.... Lower backache, contractions, lower abdominal cramping, nausea, pressure, bleeding/spotting.... You don't have to have all of.them to expereince preterm labor. You're only 33 weeks so baby shouldn't be settling in your pelvis just yet. If you at any time don't feel right... Call your Dr.
  • I will thank you. I have an appointment Friday for my next check up, but if things progress or I gain more symptoms or anything I'll call. I know I've had to pee a heck of a lot more today and so maybe she is moving down early or something and my doc can check Friday if I make it that far. @medstudent1986
