At 8 today I had a ultrasound and everything was fine.. I felt a lil better the pain was still there not that bad thought.. So when I got the ultrsound the baby looked great and is 3 lbs 8oz and the fluid was good.. The baby is breech though.. I am only 30 wks but didnt know if this was a problem.. The position that the baby is in now is the position she has been in for 3 days now.. when is the baby suppose to be in position??? Why did I get that pain?? I am still having it and dont know what to do bc I have been up all night and day soo far???

With my first pregnancy towards the end I was getting this HORRIBLE PAIN..i can't even describe it. i felt like i couldn't lay down, sit, stand, walk...like i seriously just wanted to get knocked out by someone haha it got so bad to the point that i called my dr on an emergency and he told me that the baby was probably on my gall bladder and to take some pepto bismal. it definitely helped! maybe the baby is pressing on one of your organs.. |

1. By far the vast majority of babies turn into a head down (cephalic) position by the 36th week; only about 4% remain in breech positon as the time for delivery approaches. So I would not worry about the breech position at this time. 2. The pain you are experiencing may be from Braxton Hicks contractions. These are "practice contractions" that may start around the 28th week and in some women they are painless. They do not cause the cervix to dilate. Other women do experience them as being painful. You can read more about them at the site below. I have quoted a brief explanation here: "Braxton-Hicks contractions are usually painless contractions of the uterus. Some women report painful sensations or more often, uncomfortable tightening of the abdominal wall. The Braxton-Hicks contractions are usually intermittent and come and go without an increase in intensity. The sometimes painful contractions are usually felt beginning after the twenty-eighth week of pregnancy. This sensation is due to the increasing amounts of estrogen and also due to the fact that the uterus is experiencing distention. These really are the same sort of pains felt during menstruation. Some women find them more frequent, usually after the pregnancy is well established. The contractions may occur every ten to twenty minutes any time after the twenty-eighth week and may not be felt by some women at all. Other women feel them continually with intensity. Sometimes, the severity of the pain is due to the fact the women is a primigravida and is more aware of changes in her body. Or, a multigravida may be more aware of Braxton-Hicks contractions due to multiple pregnancies. They are usually most noticeable toward the end of the pregnancy although the contractions can be experienced any time after the pregnancy is into the second month or so." (from http://www.braxton-hickscontractions.com) If you continue to experience pain that is worsening, or if you are having symptoms in addition to those described above, call your doctor.
