I have been having some discomfort and achy abdomen from few weeks as I am getting closer to having my baby. Everything is normal, his head is down and all and I feel him kick around up around my ribs, sometimes it is painful. But from few days I noticed some cramp pain around left/right ribs and under the chest area..comes and goes...must be Braxton Hicks.
Well i have been told to squatt as a first time mother because it will help me dialate more and get baby stationed all the way. I am not sure if he is all the way...but I can say that from 4 days I feel a big pain/lots of soreness in my pernium, vagina area. It makes it hard to walk, i have to waddle and my legs can't spread to far as I feel the soreness alot when I walk, especially at night if I need to change a side or something.

I'm also 38wks and seem to be feeling the same/similar pains as you but this is my 5th baby so i have sort of been here before and hate to say i still went over due!!!
i have found using a birthing ball a great help for the discomfort " down there " i brought a gym ball ALOT cheaper than a birthing ball but the same thing. it also relieves alot of my back and pelvic pain i sit and watch telly on it, even use the PC !!!!
i have also been told squatting will help so again the ball is great.
good luck i hope you are not waiting to long x x x x

If you lost some mucous then the baby is comming soon. Squatting fors help to relieve some of the pressure also.
