weird pressure (like needing to tinkle constantly) down there.

[ashie]

Well i've been to see a doctor and got no answers! just told to come back if it gets worse or end up with bad pains.
Im in my 20th week, and yesterday i felt like i had some stretching or SPD kind of pain, on my right pelvic and hip area, which run down my calf.
After some rest, it seemed to have disappeared but left with pressure but no pain (feeling like i have a full bladder) all the time.
Woke up today, and it's still here, sometimes it may seem like it has gone but will not be gone for long.
The pressure (or fullness) sort of comes from the actual baby hole (lol). so i dont think it's an infection (but i may be wrong) but i had it checked and nothing really showed up in a urine test.
As i said no paid just discomfort, nor no swelling or anything not where it should be, and bub is fine kicking away and strong heart beat.
I am just wondering what it could be as i've never had this with my boys, its defently (to me) got something to do with the stretching or SPD pain i had yesterday, i just wish i knew how i could ease this pressure (or fullness) or just to know what it may be.
dont see my ob until the 8th of next month but if it persists too long i suppose or gets worse or even painful i will knock his door down lol.
love to hear what anyone's experience or condition that may cause this.

The right hip/calf pains sound like sciatica.....that's how mine feels when it flares up....but haven't felt the pressure you're describing. Hope it eases up on you quick smart!

I am feeling a pressure similar to what you are describing... Didn't have it with Charlotte... But she was prosterior and the way I am carrying this tme around, bubs is anterior, is completely different and the pressure has been pretty constant. I attribute it to the way she is facing.

The other pain does sound like sciatica. How is your bum cheek? lol First time around it was my bum cheek and outside hip, down the back of my leg and into my calf. There are some exercises you can do to help ease it, you should be able to google it for some.

IT could be a UTI.
It could also be baby's head (or something else) pressing down there, though you're maybe a bit early for that? I've been getting the same thing in the past week or so and baby's head is just at the top of the pelvis, so I guess squashing my bladder a bit. It's bloody annoying.
