had a dr's appointment today, she said its actually a good sign if i have pressure while having a BH. she said that means the uterus is pushing the baby down which is great news for when i am in labour!
kylesmom- i pee a bit every time i sneeze or cough and since i have a cold.....well you get the drift. i feel like i should just hang out in the bathroom all day!!

I am with you ladies on having trouble getting comfortable at night...Part of it for me is the fact that i am getting up 5-6 times at night to pee.  I just have a hard time falling back to sleep afterwards.  I have tried everything not to have to get up so many times, but nothing seems to help and last night it even got to the point where she moved just right and made me wet the bed.  I was beyond embarrassed!!!  Its a good thing Aaron doesn't poke fun at me b/c i would probably never live that one down!!!  Its getting close to the end though and we won't even remember these bad times once we have our little ones :)

jen-me too, getting up from the couch is sometimes painful! my back hurts so much! I cant bath unless hubby is home b/c I cant get out.......lol. I love sleeping but hate going to bed, it takes forever for me to get to sleep and with all the tossing and turning which is not easy it really blows. I cant turn very well at all!! I guess I am not the only one. The dripppling when I sneeze is really annoying  :(

I've been getting those too!! My belly gets really tight and then I get this feeling like I want to go #2 but nothing.  And then everytime I get up from sitting down, my tailbone hurts really, really bad.  It takes me a minute to stand up straight.  And also about the bladder issue, when I walk I feel this tingling sensation down there, like if someone is tickiling me from inside lol, and like I have to pee really badly but when I go only a drop or too come out.  I also tought I was having a UTI but my doctor said no.  I just want to get this over with.  I'm so exhausted!!! And don't even get me started on the turning and tossing when it's time for bed.  I'm lie stuck  in one position because it's hard for me to move!!.  But like Kiki said Fun times, fun times LOL

I am still having a lot of contractions and as baby get bigger the more painfil they get!!  While i never get the discomfort back there during the contractions if she moves just right i do get that feeling.  I thought i was just weird b/c i had this issue, but it's good to know i'm not alone :)
Kiki- i have also had the bladder issues lately...I feel like i have to go constantly, but there just isn't anything there when i try to go.  If i really do have a full bladder though there are times when it feels like i can't go when i try. So i really don't know whats going on down there but i am glad it isn't going to last too much longer!!

Mine are getting alot more painful/ more pressure too. I'm glad you posted I was begining to freak a little. I think it's just that we are getting closer so they are gonna start feeling like the "real" thing more and more. I have also notice much more bladder pressure this week, IT STINKS! I feel like I have to painfully pee all of the time. But nothing! I didn't have an UTI on Thur. I asked cause I thought maybe that's what it was, but my urine was ok. So IDK Like I've said before FUN TIMES....FUN TIMES.... lol
