Is this normal?am i just over stressing?

Question

Im 28.1 weeks pregnant and i got bad pain by my vag it feels bruised and hurts when i walk. I got a pain in my foot and hand but its just now and then,also a bruised feeling, i got backache, but i know thats normal,as i have it all the time. My mum thought i could be in labour cause when she went into labour at 16wks she had a sore back,felt like she needed the loo and im not sure what else. I havnt had any tightening feelings so i figured its not, then i started to think if i did go into labour i dont have a cot and somebody offered me 1 a while ago and didnt get back 2 me about me being able 2 collect it and as im thinking that they phone about it so that made me wonder. So are these physical feelings normal?

The sore vag- bruised feeling

Cramps in feet and hands - bruised feeling

And earlier it hurt in certain positions like i needed the loo.

Answer 1

Completely normal. I got all these feelings at around 30 weeks. My v****a was that sore, it felt like I had been bike riding for an hour.. That bruised swollen feeling. My feet were sore and are still now, just underneath and you will get cramps a lot. Bananas fix them believe it or not!! If you start getting loose stools and contractions, that is more of an indicator of labour but I think you are still in early stages. Don't stress, just take it day by day. All will be fine and keep well.

All of those things could be normal with your pregnancy, your baby may be pushing something on a nerve, causing the foot and hand pain. However it is really hard to say, I would most certainly call your doctor and ask them.  If things continue to get worse, you could very well be in early stages of labor, especially sense your mom had labor very early.  You dont want that to happen and it would not hurt at all to just call and ask your doctor to be safe.  GOOD LUCK to you and congrats on your soon to be new baby.  Hope I have helped..:0)
