Is pelvic pressure normal at 34 weeks pregnant?

So I know I’m gonna get bashed but whatever, I’m a ftm I just turned 34w today. For the past week ive been having this pressure on my vagina that comes and goes along with minor back pain in the lower back that goes out to the front of my body. Im noticing it getting stronger and happening more often but then it stops again. I don’t know if im in labor or if it’s just my body reacting to the baby getting bigger. But around the time this started, my sugar has been dropping alot constantly, it also happens after I finish eating and that’s where I’m puzzled. When this happens, I black out. I can hear people like friends and family talking to me asking if I’m ok but to hear them, they sound like a million miles away and they look like their a million miles away and super blury. it lasts for about 15 minutes the most. I have fear if I may have preeclampsia but I can’t find that out because I havent been seen for any dr appointments since February because I got knocked off my insurance due to something called “share of cost” and my ob doesn’t take payments and won’t do anything to help with my appointments. Can someone tell me what to do please? I’m at a huge loss, I’m so frustrated and don’t know what to do. The father of my unborn child is also frustrated and taking his anger out on me by yelling and calling me names because he’s “worried about me and our child” but that doesn’t give him rights to act that way towards me. Hes been pushing me away, and we split up at the end of March because of this, and it’s just hard to deal with all the way around. Someone please give me some advice

If you’re in the states, go to the hospital. They will sign you up for Medicaid and it backdates for 90 days while you wait for the approval.

I suggest going into your county’s health department. Maybe even the ER. If you go to the ER they can help you file for Medicaid there. You’re not only putting yourself at risk but your childs. If you’re not up for that go into your public aid office and try to get on Medicaid asap. Especially since you’re pregnant. You’ll prob spend the whole day there but you need to go.

The pressure on your vagina is just the weight of the baby. With my second baby it literally felt like he was just going to fall out every time i stood up and it was terribly uncomfortable. Try getting a maternity belt. That might help. It holds the weight of the baby & your belly up better and it could help with the pain. I’m pretty sure you can get them at Walmart. As far as doctors appointments - find a pregnancy care center, planned parenthood, any of those type places in your area and explain the situation, they will do what they can to help you find the resources that you need. I just got a letter about shared costs on my insurance too. I didn’t know what it was so i didn’t think much of it - now I’m kind of worried lol :cold_sweat:

Go to the hospital. They’ll see you in labor and delivery

My first thought was also preeclampsia but im not a dr. But you do not HAVE to have insurance to be seen. I mean, I get not wanting to owe money for medical bills but preeclampsia is pretty serious. And idk if you qualify for medical from the state or not but just fyi they cover 3 months previous from the date you get approved and if you go apply tomorrow you could be approved in a month or so. If it were me, I’m sorry but damn those medical bills!

Go to the Dr. If they won’t take you then go to the ER, and if they won’t take you I don’t know, go to planned parenthood and tell them you need to see a doctor for these reasons.

Get Medicaid. I have it as a secondary insurance for what ours doesnt cover. But in most states, medicaid will back up 3 months. You really need to be seen even if it is at the ER.
Next, the pressure is normal. Im 35 weeks with my 4th and it feels like im going to break in two. But if it goes away its not labor. If it is constant, then you need to get checked.
But no matter what, take your butt to the ER! You shouldnt be blacking out.

Yes go to the dr! I will say it doesn’t sound like your sugar dropping it sounds more like. Blood pressure issue. If he’s so worried about you why is he making it harder for you by yelling at you?! I don’t understand how that helps

I feel like I had this. It was pressure from the baby. I got a pregnancy band from Target and it was aaaaamazing relief. Contraction when you are in labor wont stop all together. They will come and go repeatedly and get closer in time together.

Get yourself into the emergency room as soon as possible.please do that and don’t take a chance on losing that baby and yourself. Will be praying for both of you as soon as I get off here.

If she has a share of cost then she has medicaid. You need to fingers a new dr NOW. Go to the ER they can not refuse to see you.

You are split up so apply for Medicaid. But before then get to the hospital and be seen.

U need to go to the emergency room and tell them… they can’t turn u away and when u get on Medicaid u can send them the bill for it… it sounds like u have preeclampsia which can kill u and baby

I live in Canada so I don’t know how the states are. I assume though, they accept anyone at hospitals. PLEASE GO!!! Hope everything is okay :two_hearts:

Go to the ER. NOW.
That’s so dangerous and could be deadly for you and your baby.
Apply for Medicaid and get seen at your Health Dept. You’ll pay based on income but I’ve never paid more than $20.

I had preclampsia, my symptoms were dizziness, swelling in my feet and hands, low blood.pressure and blurry vision. It’s different for everyone. See if you qualify for medicaid in your state since you are pregnant and uninsured.

Definitely go to ER!! Preeclampsia is nothing to play with! It’s dangerous for you and baby. I had it with my last baby.

You need to go in. And go to e.r. and they will help with emergency state insurance bc you cant get denied it especially pregnant… I’m going to say that him pressuring you and getting mad bc your not taking care of yourself. Let alone the unborn child. I would be a little pissed off too… it isnt just your child… and he obviously wants it so why have you waited and not gone to e.r. yet?like trutfully… unless drugs are in system and fear of testing positive and baby taken away… what was the plan when birth was happening?have it than not take it in?.. I’m highly confused. As to why people. Do this to themselves. Than yet an unborn child. I’m not pro anti nothing so dont go there.

Since you’re blacking out, go to the hospital and they can put you on a payment plan and do have financial aide. After you’re seen, you should go to your local health department and let them know your circumstances. They bill based on income and can help you get Medicaid. Don’t put this off, it’s not as difficult as it seems to get help financially and because you’re pregnant, it’s something you need to do.

You can go into the ER they can’t turn you away and they will just bill you later. I also recommend finding a new dr it sounds like the dr you have is not that good if they won’t work with you especially sense you are pregnant and prenatal appointments are important. You can also try and apply for state insurance and let them know you are pregnant and they will put a rush on it.

Thier are doctor that will work with you, are u getting kind of help.

You need to go to the ER, they can’t refuse you and if they need to admit you they will whether you have insurance or not.

Are you checking your blood sugar or blood pressure when that happens? Are you sure it’s your sugar dropping? If you’re just assuming, it’s best to get checked out because it could be something totally different or your sugar going very high instead. Don’t wait. Go to ER if needed.

In the meantime go to the damn hospital. Preeclampsia is SO dangerous. This is your BABY we are talking about here. Seriously…

Go to the ER they can not deny you care. :disappointed::pray::two_hearts::pray:

Go to the E.R. but don’t try to make yourself go into labor, let it run it’s course and let baby decide if he/she is ready. That doesn’t sound good at all, olease go for you and the precious baby. The father needs to start being more considerate about how you feel and atop acting like a prude. Be safe.

Please go to the hospital and get checked out.

Good luck mommy

Gp to emergency will probly get admitted n ask so see social worker on the floor in morning. They will get u help asap

How do you know your blood sugar is low? It honestly sounds more like a low blood pressure than anything. Until you can get in to see someone I would take it easy and up my fluid intake.

O man I’m sorry lady yes go to the hospital and get checked out and then when done go to the nearest warfare office they will get u insurance pregnancy insurance dont even worry about the bill I would hate to hear something bad happend to u or your precious baby !

Sounds like high blood pressure when this happens u should go to the er they can’t turn u away

I had preeclampsia with my first pregnancy at 35 weeks. It’s very dangerous and scary. Go to the ER ASAP. I was induced that night and gave birth the next day. The baby stops getting nourishment when you have preeclampsia and if left untreated both you and baby can die. The only way to cure it is by delivering. I pray that everything works out for you and baby.

Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can cause shakiness, fainting, dizziness, confusion. Did you get your glucose test before Dr stopped seeing you? I don’t think I’ve heard of any type of diabetes causing low sugar after eating? But maybe try eating more carbs? Mostly I’d advise going in to the ER.

This also happened with my middle son. Low blood sugar is what the emergency room doctors had told me. Get checked to be unsafe side for your baby and yourself

You need to get to the hospital now. Fuck him. Fuck the bills right now your unborn baby and yourself are more important then a bill or some dumb ass guy… Usually the hospital people will come chat with you about insurance and such.m

Go to the ER. It sounds like your zoning out. 4 possible causes. Stress, blood pressure, diabetic, or seizures. You need medical care now!!

Sounds like Braxton Hicks contractions, which aren’t dangerous. However the part about blacking out after eating could signal gestational diabetes. Go to the ER first. Then apply for Medicaid for your state.

I have low blood sugar alot. Used to have spells where I passed out. Sometimes, it would bottom out 15 mins after eating pizza. Still don’t know what’s going on after 6 years or so. But that is dangerous for you and baby. Please go get checked on

I may be a dude and you all.may not pay attention to me, but I suggest that you get your ass to the closest ER as soon as you can and worry about the money later. There are two lives at stake here yours and your child. The ER cannot denied you help thanks to Obama Care and once there you can contact a social worker or case worker to get you some much needed services. Take this from man that is a father, husband, brother, and concerned person.

Best part is you go in through the er but they will bring you straight to labor and delivery to be seen.

Go to the er and get checked out and if youre on disability which share of cost sounds like u are then get assistance paying your share of cost thru medicaid. Or go to a free clinic until you can get assistance. Healthcare is so important especially when youre pregnant

Try getting a new doctor.

You need to get checked, I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia at 36wks 3days, I was sent to hospital and then my baby was delivered at 36wks 4 days, my babies now 3 days old and all my preeclamspia side effects seem to have gone away

My daughter jumped off a cofee table and broke her arm and I ended up having to go to hospital and owe 12,000 in bills where she had to have surgery. My credit is crap but my baby wont be disabled her whole life. The hospital has to take you. I would also try and apply for pregnancy medicade and let them know you are taking care of the baby alone. Other than that besides pre-eclampsia you could also have pregnancy diabeties. Either way you should be checked to be safe instead of sorry later.

See if you can get Medicaid or something. Go to the ER. This is serious. You could die from that if it is untreated preeclampsia.

Go to the Health dept.
