Hey ladies,
I am currently 35.5 weeks and have started to get this rythmic pusing feeling in my lower left abdomen/pelvic area. It sometimes feels like it reaches mt rectal area too. The pulsing last for about 30 mintues at a time. It almost feels like a heartbeat. Has anyone else experienced this?

ops, I meant to say "rythmic pulsing feeling"

i get those feelings too.. are they painful? Because they are Braxton hicks..

The pulsing are not painful, but this morning i did get pain in my pelvic area, but it lasted for only a minute. Now my stomach feel rock hard all the time.

That feeling is your baby having hiccups most likely. My lo's head rested pretty much on my pelvis and the hiccups would pulsate everything "down there" lol. Her hiccups became more and more frequent the further along I got too.

I have also had a pulsing feeling in my lower pelvis. Started about 34-35 weeks (I am now almost 38wk). My doctor said it is most likely hiccups as well. I thought at first it was my heart beat, but it is slower than mine. I am glad that someone else is also experiencing this!
