i was due today, my hips are killing me. is this normal?

I am in pain when I walk. I can't ignore it but it isn't like horrible pain, just a bad pain. Today is my due date and I am hoping for a VBAC. When I am sitting I feel fine. I get up and I need a moment to start moving. While I am moving there's like pain that is even lower then my stomach, like my joints I guess. I am sure it is normal, I just wanted to double check. I have felt achey and crampy for the past few weeks now but last few days have been feeling good up until now :-/

    Sounds like your baby is sitting low in your pelvic area. I'm with you there at 39 weeks and I know it hurts pretty bad. Sadly we're stuck like this until the big day.

    Try to rest if you can (you said VBAC so I'm guessing you have one child already to take care of) and when you stand give you and your baby a moment to shift into position to walk.

    I have to do that almost every night because my daughter settles so low.

    Give it time girl you're almost there!
