I asked my doctor and she said im bruised from him kicking me. Although hes head down but hasnt dropped yet. It hurts the most in the morning. Then i force myself to walk and hunch over cause my back gets a sharp pain as well. Im so tired of this. I hope he is ready around 37 weeks!

If it is in your butt area and wraps around to the outside of your calf and causes an ache in your ankle it's your si joint due to loosening ligaments.

I'm 32 weeks 6 days...I've felt that pain it's very common at this stage in pregnancy I've had to sit down a lot. The baby is adjusting. I've asked the doctor about it and she said it was normal to feel that way. Maybe your baby is head down like mine is already tho he hasn't dropped yet. I have an appointment this Friday maybe I should bring it up.

If it is a sharp pain that runs down ur groin/top of leg ur bub could be pressing on ur sciatic nerve. my bub is doing it aswell. my pain started about 30ish weeks. im now 38wks and the further down bub has moved the worse the pain is. i now can barely walk and have been put on bedrest as of yesterday..i would ask ur doctor about it because if it is they can send u to a physio and the earlier u get in the more helpful it can be. mine has been left too late so i just have to deal with it. it could also be stretching or ligament pain which is very common and will most likely go away soonish.

I got that too when I was around 30 wks and it lasted until probably 36 weeks... I walk a lot at work and would just get the pain randomly and would have to sit down for awhile. I told my dr and he never really said what caused it but I think it's pretty normal... One of the nurses I work with said she had the exact same pain and she had to quit working because of it (I couldn't afford to take time off) so I would mention it to your doctor but I think it's pretty common
