hi im 38 weeks pregnant and for 3 days have been having low back pain and some slight tightening round my stomach but not regular
alot of pressure when i stand and when walking like my abdomen will split
went to midwife today and she said that baby was still in and out of engagement
could i be near labor and how do i nudge it the right way have been having sex and walking lots
it feels like shes on her way but the midwife made me doubt myself
this is my second pregnancy didn’t have anything like this with my first just went into labor
Update:
the tightening can happen any time of day, as well as the back ache.
sometimes it feels like she will drop right out when i walk

ur a week ahead of me hun but i feel ur pain! Ive got a thinv called spd which is something abt ur pubic bone stretching, it cud b why ur pelvis area hurts too maybe. My baby’s head is engaged too giving us dat oh so pretty duck waddle we preg ladies love to do :-/
Does the tightening occur at specific times, like i get a tightening in my belly when i , sorry peeps tmi, orgasm?
This is my fourth baby and two of them were induced and 1 was natural at 39 weeks. U seem to be dping everything right, with the walking and stuff. Im indian and in my culture they tell you to eat certain “hot” foods at the end of pregnancy to speed it along but it’s nit proven ofcourse. I’ll give u a list tjough and wish you all the best of luck! Mangoes, dates, almonds, tea with green cardamons, sorry thsts all i can think of but your nearly there neway so just hang in there.
