What is this?

Question

So I’m having this feeling on/around my bladder or cervix, it’s not painful but it is extremely uncomfortable. I’m Plus size so I can’t really see if baby has dropped plus I’m just bad at look at/for it. I’m 31 weeks and 2 days. Sometimes this feeling happens when she’s moving sometimes it’s just out of nowhere and when I stand up or when I’m just walking around.

Answer

I had that happen around that time too. I went in because I didn't know what it was because my stomach wouldn't get hard, I figured it wasn't Braxton hicks or real contractions. They told me everything is still fine and she is probably just hitting into my cervix. At my growth scan last week she was head down and I feel like she's been that way since the beginning of the third trimester- hence the pressure from her hitting off of my cervix

Answer

To be honest, I have never really noticed a big drop in any of my pregnancies. I don’t think it really means a whole lot regardless. Some babies/bellies are low from 20 weeks on, some aren’t low until delivery. It sounds to me more like ligament pain, or your baby sitting on your bladder. Could be Braxton hicks 🤷‍♀️ there is really no way of us knowing what it is unfortunately. If you’re concerned, it couldn’t hurt to give your doctor a call. Wishing you all the best
