34 weeks and experiencing rectal pressure?

[madelyndaphney]

I've done a general google search, and all I found was that rectal pressure can mean delivery, that you experience during delivery, etc. I'm not having contractions, and haven't lost my mucus plug yet. I don't want to call my doctor if it's nothing...sadly they treat me like a stupid FTM every time I call with a concern that ends up being nothing. But I definitely will call if it persists. I really only feel it when I'm standing and it makes it uncomfortable to walk. I don't feel any strong urge to pee or anything, either.

I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this like I am, with no other signs of being in labor, and if you have found any ways of calming it down?

I don't have this issue but I would call your doctor to to be safe. Probably not labor since no contractions, your water hasnt broke, etc. but that's why they are your dr you/your insurance pays them for this kind of stuff. But it's probably just the way the baby is positioned like when they come out facing up and women have back labor because the head is pushing on nerves in the lower spine. Sorry I couldnt be a better help.

I had an appointment today and asked my doctor, and she basically said LO's head is playing bouncy bounce down there and not to worry. Thank you for the insight, though! It's much appreciated!

I've experienced this, too. Glad you got some answers and eased your mind.
