Pain down below

[Ab202]

Hi ladies,

Hope I'm posting in the right place! I'm 27+3 today. For the past couple of days I've been feeling really bruised "down there" and it's especially uncomfortable when I wake up in the night for a wee and have to move to get out of bed. As odd as it sounds, once I've been for a wee there is slight relief from the aching but not a lot and the ache has been constantly there. It's like bruising, down there and "inside" too (sorry for tmi!!).

I've noticed Braxton Hicks a few times, but it's just tightening, not painful, and has only happened when I've been really busy on my feet (I work in a busy job). Other than that, baby has been moving as normal and I've had no other concerns. Just feel really uncomfortable and as if I've been kicked down there by some sort of super footballer!

I have a midwife appt in a few days. Is this something I need to call my mw about now or can it wait? What are your experiences?

Thanks!

is it spd? mine constantly feels bruised and it does seem alot worse when my bladders full think its the extra weight on all your ligaments

I've read a little about spd, it does seem like it's a possibility. I have quite hypermobile joints anyway and apparently that can make me more susceptible to it. Is it something that the midwife can diagnose?

its hard to diagnose but she can refer you for physio for it and give you a bump belt which takes the pressure off your joints a bit. mines worse some days than others some days i can barely move
