An Intimate Affair with my Pelvis

Pelvis

I have been feeling quite a bit of what I can only describe as “pressure” these days between my legs. So much in fact, I want to grab my crotch and apply counter pressure to ease the discomfort. The best picture I can paint for you is a desire to hold myself like a small child would do so they don’t pee their pants.

I know baby settled into the head down position quite a while back, and it must be quite comfortable, because she’s been chilling in my tummy in that upside position for almost two months now.

Maybe all those kegel exercises feel like a nice scalp massage! I’m happy she favours the proper birth position, but geez kid, it feels like you’re about to fall right out!
