Hi, I’m 37+1 and a ftm. I went shopping earlier and had a lot of discomfort really low down in my pelvis which I put down to baby’s position or him/her moving lower. It wasn’t just pain at the front, it hurt my back passage as well and was pretty constant while I was walking round the supermarket.

In the car on the way home my lower back was hurting, again constant so not contractions.

Since I’ve been home, about an hr now and have been sitting down the constant discomfort has eased but now I’m getting shooting/pulsing pain in my back passage that will happen every few seconds for a minute or so and then ease off for a while. Again, I’m guessing it’s not contractions. Is it just likely to be baby’s position and it pressing on things in there? I’ve not had any loss of mucus plug, etc.
