lower pelvic pressure

I've been having a lot of pelvic pressure lately and at times it hurts like the baby is pushing down, it started last week when i was walking around the neighborhood. It starts with the pressure on my lower abdomen and goes around my back, i talk to a nurse about it and she said not to walk around too much for now until i see what my doctor says this saturday. Im getting a little scared because im 34 weeks tomowrow and wonder if im going to be in labor pretty soon, and also my mother said that my stomach looks like it had dropped lower so im just waiting till saturday to find out.

Right there with you guys.  Lots of pressure down there.  No signs of contractions yet.  Feel like she could squirt out at any minute.

Very very common! I had it with my other two kiddos too!  It hasn't been AS bad with this pregnancy but I do have it, especially after intercourse.  It's very normal as the head is pushing down but doesn't mean you are going to go into labor too soon!
