Anybody faced the same?

Hi all..this is my 2nd pregnancy n its totally different from my 1st. Im currently 37+2 today (26/08/25), n last i checked on the 19/08/25 my baby weighs at between 3.3kg - 3.4kg. Having extremely painful pelvic pain n sciatica mainly due to baby's weight..Will be doing planned c-sect on the 01/09/25. Ive reached to where i cant even walk or lay down what more turn to the side to sleep anymore cuz the pressure on the pelvic is way too painful. Does anybody have any tips besides putting pillows in between my legs

I just give birth a month ago.. I was also like this when i was week 36-37.. elective c sect pn 38+2 Pelvis pain is terrible.. sit, lay down or walk is painful.. Try to hold ur tummy with ur hand when turning left & right.. i feel lesser pain this way… and i put a very soft bolster/ pillow to rest my tummy on it when turning side way..

i used hip brace as recommended by my gynae cause my 3rd one was 4kg and i was 39 weeks then. cause the pelvic gets weak overtime. i gave birth naturally. just had to put soft pillow the tummy when on my side to support belly

May I know why you are scheduled for a planned c section instead?

1mo ago

cuz my 1st birth was an emergency c-sect. i couldnt opt for vbac for my 2nd due to previous c-sect.
