what is this?...

Not sure how to put this but currently I'm 5 months pregnant and I am feeling a lot of press down in my pelvic region and sometimes it feels like my baby is going to fall out.. It really only hurts when I'm up and about walking around or if I've been laying down for a while and I get up to go to the restroom.. I already have two kids that are 10 and 8 and never experienced this pain with either of them.. I'm thinking it's bc I'm in my 30's now but I just want to make sure I'm not overlooking something that I should bring up to the doctor.. Anyone else experiencing this type of pain?

I have this. The baby may be turning or with me I have loose ligaments from my first child.

I have the same issue.  I have a 9 year old and I felt fine. Of course back then I was 21 years old.  Now I'm in my 30's my body is taking this pregnancy really hard.  I'm due in 19 days but wen I was 6 months I brought this problem up to my on and she said the baby is low and bcuz this is not my first pregnancy, my muscles joints and ligiments stretch more easily to allow the baby to move down. Is basically pressure of the baby moving down and is resting on ur pelvic bone

It used to hurt with my little girl especially nearer the end... the midwife said could be because my daughter was tucked in very low down in my pelvic area.... just causes pressure I think!
