ouch - v.sore

[Shopaholic]

Hey all,

I have been really worried about all the aches and pains I've been getting recently and I keep wondering what is normal and what is not.

I'm 33 weeks today.

I get shotting pains in my bits and the whole area feels quite swollen which is the SPD I think.

Also - my lower abdomen is always really achey - sometime like a period pain ache, especially at night, but more of a dull ongoing ache rather than cramps - and it can be tender to touch even and when I stretch out.

I even get sore pains after going to the loo but don't have a UTI as they checked it last week.

I also feel like there's loads of pressure down there and even pressing against my bum - on the inside!

I was so worried last week that I went for a private scan and they said everything was fine but the baby was really low in the pelvis. Does this make it more uncomfortable?

Also - they said the head wasn't engaged but is there any risk that having a baby low in the pelvis could mean it could come very early anyway?

thanks for your advice
