Some final (hopefully) questions (probably TMI too!!)

Hi Kitz,

I was just talking about this type of "pain in your bum" with a lady the other day, the way I describe it is it feels like if you could just do a big F**t it would feel so much better LOL. I do remember having a simular poping sensation sometimes when weeing but I don't remember it being painful.
It would be interesting to hear a medical explaination for what is going on. Hopefilly someone will come up with some answers.

Not long now for you, best wishes for a great birthing experience.

Hi Kitz
I’m not 100% sure but I think that the pain in your bum is caused by your baby’s head compressing your bowel and slowing down the passage of stools and wind. This is not unusual if your baby is low or engaged.
The pain when you go for a pee is caused by a slight kink in your urethra. This kink is caused by your uterus pressing down on your bladder. To help relieve you could go to the toilet before your bladder is full. Also be aware that pain when going to the toilet could be a sign of a UTI, however pain caused by this problem usually lasts all the time that urine is flowing.
