It could be something as normal as pressure from the baby pressing against your vagina or back, or tendon pain from the weight. It could also be a sign of trouble. The only one who can truly evaluate it and help you is your physician, and I suggest you be checked out as soon as possible. It is better for your peace of mind and baby's safety to have him check you out and say it's all okay than to take our word for it and have things go badly.

First things first, if you are able to you might want to stay off of your feet. I had my second and youngest son over a year ago. I also experienced a lot of back pain and pressure as you explained on my vagina...it hurt so much it often made me cry. I've been told that what I was feeling iss normal and explained off as "braxton hicks" contractions. However, if you are worried bring it to your doctors attention to be safe; after all it is for your sanity and the baby's sake. Don't worry about the doctors or other hospital staff and what they'll think or say. It's all about you!
Be more observant of the things that you are feeling. If the pressure and pain is tolerable or mild for most of the day and you feel a sudden rise in its intensity I would suggest calling your doctor or even make a stop at the local ER. I made a lot of visits to the ER, but the hospital that I went to had a separate area for pregnancy emergencies. You may want to find out exactly where you should go for such instances during your next visit.
You may also want to keep an eye on how saturated your undies get. Naturally we all sweat down there, but if you find that your panties are saturated and you have to change them. You may want to call your doctor...I've heard of women who experience a slowly leaking sensation as opposed to the "breaking of the water bag" experience. This can be a problem because of possible infections for the baby and complications for you and delivery.
Lastly, if you do experience a sensation that results in a huge gush of fluid, your water broke, grab your stuff and get going! Best of luck to you...

No this is not normal. Are you having any period pain? Have you had any discharge or loss? You need to go and see a Dr as soon as possible or even ring the delivery suite at the hospital you are booked into for delivery of your baby. Having pressure in your vagina may be that your muscles are relaxing to accomodate the growing baby due to a hormone being released but I would get this checked out. Sometimes a lot of back pain may indicate the baby's head coming down prior to delivery. Go to see your Dr or phone delivery suite.

I am also 28 weeks pregnant and i am having the same problems, my doctor told me that the reason for the lower pain is that the baby is growing so rapidly now and everything inside is stretching and making roon for the baby and the pain is normal and for the back pain its just all the extra weight that we are carrying.

I am 36 weeks pregnant and I have had back pain for almost the whole time and it only gets worse for me anyways. I have had a lot of pressure, too. So it is normal but let your doctor know.

I Heard women have alot of back pain when they are pregnant. But when in doubt call the doctors office and ask the nurse if it is normal and if there is anything you can take that won't hurt the baby.

Most likely normal, but you might want to mention it to your OB.
Pressure is probably just discomfort from your growing uterus and back pain maybe from poor posture- stand against a wall and get some supportive shoes.

looks like your pelvis larger. it may reason discomfort interior the vagina, hips and pelvic area. call your dr just to be risk-free. Their answering service is often obtainable and it is not nicely worth it to take a probability. that's what they're paid for.

If i had to guess its just the way the baby is laying, but Always ask your Dr when you have any changes or questions concerning your baby.

If you're concerned call up your doctor or midwife. They may want you to come in just to make sure that everything is normal.
