  • Your body is changing every day and it's making room for the baby to develop. u could be one that's carrying this baby in your back more. The elder women used to say it was a boy if u carried it like that or low.... nothing will be comfortable to u til the baby gets here... try sleeping with a pillow placed between your legs while u r on your sides. that will help keep the pressure eased some. the bones will be even and not one higher than the other. balanced weight....

    Source(s): Life. I carried a big baby like u are describing above... she weighed 9lbs5oz. when she was born.... the pressure stopped after the birth.... good luck...

    Sounds like labor might be close. No need to go and get checked out until contractions are about a minute long and five minutes apart. Try and stay active, walking around, maybe have someone take you shopping. It will help keep labor going. Just don't over do it. And I would make sure my bags were packed and my ride to the hospital was on stand-by! Good luck!
