35 wks & having pains

I'm 35 wks 4 days. For the past week I haven't been able to sleep at all during the night due to awful stomach pain. No matter which way I turned my stomach would hurt like a bad stomach ache. This would also include the private area at times. I had a Dr appointment Tuesday & was told it was normal, my hormones increase at night & could be Braxton Hicks. But I haven't felt contractions, this is also my 1st. I just don't find these pains to be normal. Last night was the 1st night I got a decent sleep.

Im 39 weeks tomorrow and I have been going through the same thing since 37 weeks. Pillows didn't work for me. I honestly just tossed & turned. Propping myself up and sleeping on my back was the only helpful thing for me.  Baby is getting ready... That's the only thing that keeps me sane. Goodluck!

He's been head-down since last month. He's actually been way low pretty much the entire pregnancy, which is why I had so much pelvic pain throughout pregnancy. But I tried putting a pillow between my legs & even under my stomach. It only helps on occasions. :/

Its usually just the baby dropping down into your pelvic area and pressing on nerves. Im 35 weeks and i have the same issues. Try taking a warm bath or laying on your side with a pillow wedged between your legs to prop you pelvis more
