756.0. "Pressure and muscle stretching!" by DEMON::MARRAMA () Fri Mar 08 1991 13:03

    
    I am due in 3 weeks and I am experiencing alot of pressure on
    my pelvis bone.  Also, I am experiencing some muscle stretching in
    my bikini line.  Does this mean that the baby is positioned?  Sometimes
    I find it really hard to walk. I just feel like something is pushing
    down really hard.
    
    Has anyone experienced this?  I am going to the doctors on Monday and
    I am hoping he tells me that I am at least dialating a little.
    
    Excited and can't wait!!!!!!!

756.1Ready for lift-off...HYSTER::DELISLEFri Mar 08 1991 13:257
    My guess would be that your baby's head is now engaged, and that is the
    pressure you are feeling.  That's how it felt with me, very difficult
    to walk! 
    
    Best of luck to you!  Ask your doctor if that is what is causing those
    new sensations.
    
756.2XCUSME::BARRYMon Mar 11 1991 21:089
    I am due in 4 weeks, and have been having the same problems all
    week.  When I walk, it's very sore on my pelvic bone, and on the
    bikini area.  I saw my doctor last week and he said it is probably
    the baby's head pounding on my pelvic bone before it goes into the
    birth canal.  At some point it will start going in (and be engaged,
    I guess).  I sure hope it gets better, because it really hurts to
    walk.

756.3I had a hard time tooJUPITR::MAHONEYWed Mar 13 1991 13:409
    I had my 1st baby 6 months ago, and I experienced the same pain. It was
    during the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy. That whole time I was dialated
    a couple centimeters and it lasted untill I delivered. All I can say
    is, I sat down alot and it felt better. And I only walked short
    distances,the more I walked the worse it was. So, just grin and bear
    it, it won't last much longer!
