Pelvic Pains..

[Kass79]

Just wondering if anybody has experienced pains that go from the pelvis, right down the inside of the leg?

I have been getting these pains all afternoon.....plus mild period pains....not so much when I sit down, but when I am standing the pains shoot down the inside of my legs....and i get this immense pressure to pee and my belly is going hard.......anyone else experiencing this?

Belly going hard needing to pee. could you be in early labour? The pain shooting down your leg is caused by your baby pressing on a nerve.

Well fingers crossed it's early labour! But thanks for the info about the nerve Alan. I was a bit worried because I have never experienced this feeling before. I have been getting period like pains for the last few days on and off too. But the whole leg/nerve/needing to pee constantly is getting worse today.

So thanks Alan.

The needing to pee thing is your baby pressing on your bladder. You will probably find that you get the urge when your belly goes hard.

Another thing if it is early labour it can and sometimes does stop but don’t be too disappointed. It means that your baby will soon be here.

Ok. Well my bladder gets worse when my belly goes hard. And I get a bit breathless too. I know it's possibly pre labour, and it will probably stop. But that's ok because I know bubs isn't too far away. Just at the point of being over the uncomfortable nights and pressing bladder.

But if anything more happens I'll let you know.
