Navel Pain & Pelvic Pressure in Pregnancy: Causes & When to See a Doctor

Question
Hello,I'm 34 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child and I've been having pain around my navel.I haven't had this pain with my previous pregnancies.And I've also,have pain when I walk.Its like pressure pain down by vagina.Can you tell me why I have these pains and do I need to go to doctor?

Answer
having a feeling of pressure down your pelvis is quite normal around 34 weeks of pregnancy. Moreover you are in your third pregnancy and in women who have delivered before the baby enters the pelvis quite early, thats the reason for the pressure on your vagina.

As far as the pain around the umbilicus is concerned, I will not be able to guide you much because unless I examine you I will not be able to know what is wrong. So at this moment you need not rush to the doctor,but when you do go for our regular checkups do mention about this pain to your doctor.
