I'm 38 weeks and having a lot of painful twinges. almost like a pulled muscle but very low in the pelvic region. anyone else have or have had this? Anyone know what causes it or how to get rid of it? ↓

im 37 weeks and i have also been havin these pains they got so bad that when i saw my midwife on friday i asked her about them she checked my bp and that was high then said i could hav pre eclampsia and that i had to go bak to c her on monday and if i was to get anymore probs ring the delivery suite at the hospital well the pains got worse so i rang and they said to go down well they took blood and urine u no the useuall and said the pains were just braxton hicks so dont get worried babe it seems normal to me. but ask ur midwife just in case xx ↑

I've asked my dr. about it checked the normal too. Everything looked fine but it's still anoying. I'm having braxton hicks too but the twinges are different from contractions. Thanks for the input julie! ↑

hey its jen, that is the sciatic nerve... (sorry i dont know how to spell it) i had it too, and it was hard to walk, painful to sit. everytime i lifted my leg to walk i got shooting pains... right up to week 38 and how weird.... im almost due and the sciatica has dissappeared! i guess she dropped or something or changed positions!
but now i do have those sharp pains on my bladder, so i dont know which hurts worse! ↑
