Is this totally normal?

Question

im 37 weeks pregnant, as of today in between my legs or thighs close to my v****a have been aching really bad, no matter what i do, pillow in between my legs doesnt work, is this normal or should it be a concern im due september 13

Answer 1

Sounds normal to me - maybe the baby is engaged & getting ready to come - try to elevate your legs to see if this helps :)

Bad news on when bubs will come though - i think I felt like this for about the last 3 weeks - i was then induced after being 10 days overdue.

Good luck!!

Answer 2

sounds like your muscles are just working harder to carry you so there a lil sore i wouldn't be to worried

Answer 3

Your body produces a hormone called relaxin during pregnancy which (as the same suggests) relaxes and softens your muscles, ligaments and tendons. Unfortunately it is sometimes so good at its' job that everything starts to stretch a bit too far for comfort.

Other possible causes include your baby's head lowering into your pelvic girdle, your cervix thinning and then dilating, baby may have bumped a nerve.

There is no way to tell how long until your baby decides to come, except to say that it will happen inside a month. (Helpful, I know!)

Try a warm bath and/or heat pack to ease the discomfort. Also try sitting on a birth ball. There's not much that's comfortable about this stage of pregnancy.

Good luck.
