A member asked:

36 weeks pregnant having false contraction pain and hurt for me to sit down why is that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Baby: Your baby is getting lower in the pelvis and that pressure causes pain with pretty much every activity. If your pain is in the rectal area it could be hemorrhoids. If it's in the vaginal area that is from the baby dropping down in the birth canal. It can also be muscular in the hips and back.
