I am a 8 months-pregnant-mother, I feel a bit stress in my lower part especially when I’m sleeping on my bed and when trying to turn, these few days I even feel a bit pain on my lower private part, especially sometimes when I just start to walk from a sit. Is this because my baby is growing bigger and it’s the pressure from baby?

Dear Ching Nee,
You are quite right in thinking that all these ache and stress on your lower abdomen and your private area is from the pressure of your growing baby. As your baby grows, the amount of weight on the ligaments and the muscles are rather strenous. The round ligaments , the broad ligaments, the pelvic floor and your back muscles are beginning to feel the pressure. Having gentle support for your lower abdomen when you are up and about will ease some of the discomfort. Daily Kegeals Exercise ( pelvic floor exercise) will also help ensure that your pelic floor muscles are strong and avoid stress incontinence.
