28 weeks feeling pressure 'down there' cramps and feeling like I need to BM

[Ibdibdabdoo]

Hi all,

I'm hoping that this is just nothing but you're all very good with advice!

Me and dh bd'd this morning (may be irrelevant) and since about 2 hours ago I've had a strong pressure in my lower abdomen and down there. I also feel like i need to poo quite strongly (tmi sorry!) but have just been to the toilet and the pressure hasn't gone. I've also started getting some mild cramps on and off.

Is this just normal for this stage, I was last pregnant with DS 7 years ago so I can't remember!

I'm sure it's all normal but I strongly suggest you go and get checked, having Braxton hicks are Dtd is normal but with the pressure as well I think it's probably a good idea to give your midwife a call x
