I remember in my last week or so at work (I worked til 37 weeks) I was constantly having to wee. I also had the feeling that I needed to either fart or do a poo - but when I got to the loo didn't actually need to. Does this sound like what's happening to you? If so then it's probably just the normal preparation as you head towards birth. I don't remember getting any pain with it though.
The tenseness & pain you are describing are most likely to be caused by BH but if it gets worse you might like to go home and take it easy. If the pain gets regular you might want to have a chat with the midwife.
well i think this means ur legs could fall off round about..... NOW!
lol..
i have no idea but..... im thinking its bub letting u know that its nearly time to come out soon!!! woohooo!! being nearly 36 weeks is great! not too early!
I am currently experiencing all that at the moment. According to my ob (who I saw yesterday), bubs is just getting ready for his or her big arrival. It is very uncomfortable and I am hoping that something is finally happening!!
Every baby and pregnancy is different. With my first DD, she started engaging at 32 weeks. With my second DD, she started engaging at 36 weeks. Some babies don't engage until labour has started.
