36 weeks and really beginning to feel uncomfortable walking??

[Angel17]

And just feel like my inner thighs are hurting really bad and swollen but showed my mum and she said no it looked normal and it just baby is getting heavy now so I will start to feel uncomfortable.

Yesterday went for a long two hour walk around town and by the time I got home I was in agony down below, the pelvic muscles were hurting and upper inner thighs. Not worried about movements, I can feel her but not with the same intensity last two days since down below has been hurting more but I still feel her. And to be honest, I know her routine she has never ever been a big kicker and so active she keeps me awake at night. Midwife said not all babies do anyway, and I was the same in the womb.

I am actually getting fed up now. I can't turn in bed anymore, it is really heavy and painful and can't sleep well anymore.

I can't imagine another possible 6 weeks like this if she is late and to think I always she be earlier. Now I am approaching my 37th Week I am not so sure.

Any advice on what the pain down below? and anyone else feel like that when they walk? I like to go for walks often too.

Aww im sorry to hear that you are so uncomfy! I know it doesnt solve much but if u wanna chat just remember ur not alone n people understand hun! I was fine then bam I got bad back pain that shifted to my legs n bum n lower back! I think it depends on Babys position! Hopefully it will ease off for you! Its hard as theres not much you can do?! But it does get on top of you when its constant and frustrating when you want to do things! But u can do this n its all worth it in the end! I thought it was sciatica but then I heard that it could be SPD from my Midwife! It is nasty and I feel sorry for anyone that has bad pains as u cant move without hurting! I have a feeling my Baby will be a tinker and make me wait! xox

haven't been able to go for walks since about month 4 thanks to pain from ligaments so understand how frustrating it is when it becomes difficult to do this one nice stress relieving thing, i took up swimming instead until that became too much at 32 weeks.

it's awful but as previous poster said, come on here and get it all out - we dont come back with - just you wait until you start getting contractions/labour/baby comes..........i expect you've had that already from various people? so annoying, we know it's going to hurt, but a for about 2 days max hopefully from very start to finish, not this 6 weeks or so stretching out in front!

Probably not what you want to hear but i think if it just starting at 36 weeks, your doing really well. Since I turned 24 weeks or so my crotch is so painful due to vulvar varicorisities which make sitting and standing super uncomfortable. Walking is definately a pain too. And I'm carrying quite small, I'm really dreading getting bigger and further along

I waddle like a duck and have to sit down every 50 feet. I gained way too much weight though. You're doing great if you are still walking that far! Hang in there

Its upsetting when people say it cant be that sore and ur like erm yeah it is lol! Esp if its a nerve as soon as its hit its a sharp pain or feels like its giving away! I tried hot water bottles/hot baths/muscle rub/muscle soak/radox powder/walking/resting! Its still sore! Unless Baby moves and takes pressure off that spot then it might ease a bit?! I think its worse when they say we cant do anything its a case of having the Baby! Im just worried incase I have more and get the SPD pains and cant walk as I was hobbling/dragging/crawling around and looking after other children must be hard! I just got told to take paracetamol but I didnt wanna or ring physio and try a band! xox

I started getting shooting pains in my (TMI) vagina today when trying to walk around the mall...ended up coming home. Also increased discharge as I was walking. ...decided to spend the rest of the day on the couch. Did some googling, and it seems this is probably due to baby getting lower/getting ready to engage...or at least bumping up against cervix. Whole pubic area is pretty sore.

 

[DessyMarie]

Yes, I already have this too It really does hurt. I have complications which explains why I have so many pains. Before being diagnosed though, the worst was when people would say " Your pregnant, your not dying." Like.. thank, as if I didn't already know that. I fell on the stairs because it hurt to lift my leg up that far, and I missed a step.

I had spd/pgp since 24 weeks and was in agony with it! I had physio every four days and had crutches, but since baby has dropped it's made walking around ok. Turning in bed is still horrific and I'm not sleeping well at all, but think this might be more to where lo is lying, as feel like I'm squashing something in my woowoo!

I have been lucky enought to have had a relatively pain free really enjoyable pregnancy....until 2 weeks ago! And then the rib flare started and it feels like I have been run over by a train!!! Ha! I'm starting to think that my little one is not so little! Don't get me wrong, I am still loving being pregnant and I love, love, love that u can feel my baby moving around so much now (I've got AP so never really felt that much movement until wk 32) but this back pain and pressure down below and basically feeling like a beached whale every time I try to turn over in bed is getting hard! I'm so pleased I've got b&b to turn to for reassurance as I feel like a real moaning Minnie!

Hope all of our ladies get some rest. It's going to be soooo worth it but my God it hurts!!!! xx
