I have a doctors appointment tomorrow, BUT, In the meantime.... I can barely walk because there is SO much pressure in my pelvic area, It feels like the babies head is sitting so far down that she might fall out at any given moment, I SERIOUSLY almost cannot get up and walk, And when I do finally make it off of whatever I happen to be sitting on, It hurts SO badly...The best way for me to describe this pain, Is like this-
I feel like a wishbone, And I have 2 people on either side of my pubic bones, Both pulling in different directions.
Any suggestions to help ease the pain (Other than Tylenol, Which isn't helping)....Or do you think labor is coming in the very near future???

I've been feeling contractions, Though they are very sporadic since last night (After coming home from Trick or Treating with my 2 boys)...I'm SO hoping that I don't go the whole 42wks (As I have with my other 2 pregnancies) *sigh*
Thanks (so far) everyone, And to those in my boat...Poor poor you, I feel badly for ya too!!! Lol...
BE BORN ALREADY BABIES!!! :-P

It's semi hard for me to be able to sit back and relax with a VERY VERY busy 18 month old boy running around, Lol...My fiance works from 6am-6pm...I do as much as possible but it's rough...
As for names- Yes :-)
She'll be either-
Lexandriah Dannyelle Dream (The Danielle is spelled the way it is 'cause her daddies name is Danny, I thought it was kinda cute and quite meaningful)
or her name will be.,.
Camberleigh Angel Dannyelle :-)

Sounds like labor is very near and the baby is trying to work down. Try squatting with your knees apart (like if you were trying to pee on the ground). This worked for me to help move the baby on down after my contractions started but it relieved my pressure immensly! Also you might try getting on your hands and knees to relieve some of the pressure from gravity pulling down. Another option is to have somebody stand behind you with their hands on your hip bones and push together and hold. This opens the pelvic bones, and if you can stand feet shoulder width apart and slightly bent over, I think you'll find you like this too. But... in the meantime, make sure your bag is ready because you're heading out soon! Good luck!

Im sorry about how you are feeling. I understand completely. I have had 3 kids and Im pregnant with my 4th and not looking forward to that part. You are getting nearer to labor, but there is really not much you can do at this point. I always felt like that before labor. Even with my 3rd son. I went into labor at 7 1/2 months and I remember feeling like that by that point too. I remember saying, I cant go on with this for another month and a half, its too painful. Then I ended up having him. So it is probably your body getting ready. Good Luck with everything!

You must make your way to the doctors. Give yourself plenty of time so you can move slowly and relax when you need to. You are very close to giving birth, and the doctor may admit you to the hospital now seeing as how you are in pain. Just get there, and everything will be taken care of. Good Luck!

I think labor is in the very near future! Unfortunately it could still be two weeks in the future. All you can do is hang in there but I think if you make it to tomorrows appt your Dr. will probably find you are starting the earliest stage of labor. Good luck and may your labor be short and your joy be great!!!

Sounds Like you are in Labor......
The pain is the baby going into the birthing canal... You need to call the Dr and see what they tell you do... For the pain not much you can do SORRY:(
Pay attention for any contraction..
Good Luck and Congrats :)

You need to rest a lot and stay off your feet as much as possible (i know, easier said than done) I felt the same way and it sucks! But you don't have much longer! Maybe your dr will accidentally put you into labor tomorrow! Good luck and Congrats! Any names picked out?

Yes, I think you are almost there! Try taking warm (not hot) baths. It will relax you and ease the pain. Just make sure you have someone there to help you get out so you don't fall.

this is happening to me as well. it seems like everything i try does not help. i've tried warm showers which helped temporarily. i am sitting on a pillow right now, not sure if it is helping though. you are definetly getting ready to have your baby. but unfortunately it may or may not be in the very near future. good luck.

Your pelvic bones are adjusting and getting ready for delivery...I had that happen with both my kiddos about 8-10 days before delivery....maybe a nice warm bath? Not sitting in a hottub, unless it's warm (not hot) water?
