Why do I feel heavy after I’ve walked? 30w

Question

I’m 30 weeks and after I do a long walk not long after I feel so heavy like baby has dropped. And then the next day it’s gone. And only seems to come back when I’ve walked loads.

Answer

It’s because at this point in your pregnancy the baby is putting tremendous pressure on your pelvic floor which is your equilibrium and base for a lot of bodily functions. Of course when you are walking, your pelvis is gonna absorb most of that pressure. Just like when you walk on a bum knee, your knee will and and feel heavy and throbby because it will feel the weight of your body’s pressure. Then, when you sit down, you are taking the pressure off of your pelvis, your baby is not being thrusted downward w each step etc. 
You can help this by getting a belly band. It helps to disperse the pressure a little better and give you a posture that leaves you less achey (kinda, but after a certain point, you’re just gonna feel that way til baby comes) 😊

Answer

I kinda of feel like this too but only after I’ve worked as I’m on my feet my entire shifts. I also feel like the waddle is a little more noticeable as well so you can tell I’m feelin it 😅
