but some of you might remember all my crazy posts about everything going on in my life, and well, still trying to resolve those issues. I do have a concern that's popped up here over the past couple of days and want to get some other mothers take on what this may mean if anything at all...

Everytime I sit up/stand Noah is pressed hard against my pelvis, which can be quite uncomfortable, but along w/ this my vaginal area is quite swollen and tender. It's not an infection, but it does still concern me. I've been fearing that he may be here a lil sooner than planned b/c I've been under a tremendous amount of stress along w/ some other factors, but I was thinking no sooner than a month earlier. Is what I'm going through normal or does this mean I'm preparing for him to head out into the world???

Hopefully this isn't too stupid, but this is my first real pregnancy I guess. I've miscarried twice, but both were early in the first trimester, so all of this is completely new to me. TIA ladies!

Try to stay as calm as possible. I went into labor, and had been threatening to for a while, because of stress. I hope everything goes well!!

I have no answers for you sweetie, but hope you are doing ok and things get better for you :hugs

I'm not gonna be of any help to ya, cause I've been dealing with the same thing....*looking at your ticker I'm 2 days behind you..hehe...* I do know for me though the doc said alot of my pain in the pelvic is from his size, he's big for how far along I am, I go in on the 23rd for another ultrasound to see the size again and see what's going on. We are planning on him actually arriving in September, based on his size and etc.... My 'downthere' area is VERY tender and swollen, it's even hard to wipe after going to the bathroom, but there's no infection....
I'd say ask your doctor about it, and go from there. I hope someone else has good advice for you...I'm sorry I don't :(

Well I'm glad to know that at least I'm not the only one going through this, so you did offer some relief. We're expecting ours in Sept as well due to some of the same factors. I see the doc on Monday, so regardless I'm def bringing it up to him. I just didn't know if it would be something that I'd need to go in asap for, b/c it's not unbearable, just abnormal to me...

Im 28 weeks and Im having the pelvic pain!! It hurts REALLY BAD!!!

Yeah same goes for me...I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one feeling like that, so thank you for posting this!!! :)
Def. bring it up with your doc on Monday!
And as long as there's no blood or pink when ya wipe, and it's not unbearable I would say you don't have to go in ASAP, since you have an appt on Monday!
Keep me posted on how that goes!!!

the whole swelling "down there" -- it's normal!! i asked at a previous appt...
