I spend most of the day lying down. My husband and son do the housework. In the morning, I walk around the apartment a bit, and then the back pain starts. Apparently, it's because the baby's head is low. By evening, I don't even have the energy to sit up, and there's a lot of pressure on my lower abdomen. Today, my mom said I shouldn't lie down so much, that it will make labor difficult and the placenta will attach too firmly. Honestly, I don't really believe that. Who else was around 38 weeks pregnant? Did you lie down a lot, and is it really harmful?

It seems like they've caught up to me too. I didn't know what that was like with my son, and labor s… I had a sad experience when my son was born. It didn't help me at all because they gave it to me too…

I didn't rest at all, I didn't have time. My husband was constantly at work, and I was walking for 2 hours with my older daughter. It was really hard to walk, and in the end, I gave birth at 38 weeks))

Believe it or not, it's true.
She wasn't lying down at all—she was moving around somehow.

Yuliya With little kids, it's obviously no time to lie around.

Have you tried the knee-chest position? Lying down can be harmful, as it can disrupt blood flow between the uterus and placenta, leading to hypoxia and oxygen deprivation for the baby.

Olya I feel like if I'm moving all day, I'll give birth by evening. Yesterday we went out for errands, I wore a belly band, walked around, and then my lower abdomen and back felt a pulling sensation for half the day. It was probably Braxton Hicks again. I thought I'd have to go to the hospital, but after taking No-Spa, it eased up.

So maybe just sit up? Because honestly, it's not comfortable for the baby when you lie down a lot.

Klinduh Ekaterina Haven't tried it, what's it for? A friend mentioned something about this position, saying it helped her baby's head move down. Guess that's why

Oksana Kornienko I try to sit, but after half an hour, I feel a lot of pressure down there, like I'm sitting on something. I don't know how to describe it. At my appointment on Wednesday, they said the baby's head is low, which is why the discomfort started.

Klinduh Ekaterina It's not just for that. I stood on it when I had stomach cramps. This position felt relaxing and rested my lower back

With my third baby, walking was tough. I felt like her head was really low, pressing down. But I kept going. My back hurt, so I did yoga to make it easier, plus some exercises to help with labor. And with two other kids, I couldn't really lie down much – kindergarten, activities, cooking, cleaning. I only rested all day on the occasional days when I felt really bad. But all my kids were born at 38 weeks; I never made it to 39.

I had a flat sac with my first pregnancy, and labor stalled when I was lying down. I had contractions, but no dilation. This pregnancy is the opposite; I'm moving around as much as I can. Yes, I hold onto things and put most of my weight on my arms. Or I sit on something or the floor. But I'm exhausted by the evening too. I'm 38 weeks, and for some reason, the count seems wrong starting this week.

I don't think lying down is helpful. I walked, just slowly))). When I was expecting my older one, I used to walk to meet my husband from work. It takes a normal person about 25 minutes to get there. It took me almost an hour. When I was expecting my daughter, I took long walks with my son after kindergarten. A belly band helped a lot. I couldn't walk without it.

Not a lot, I had a lot going on, but I was resting. I felt pressure downwards starting at 25 weeks, probably due to varicose veins, and then the baby was positioned low, making it even worse. Plus, the baby was kicking so hard that I was crying from 25 weeks until 37… Hang in there.
