Hi there,

Thanks for your email. This sounds like a very uncomfortable time for you. Have you spoken with your doctor about this?

It's hard to comment on this specifically as even though we know your baby's head is down and you can expect to feel some pressure at that time. This pressure can increase as the babies head engages - women often describe this as feelings of "pressure or a bruised feeling"

As for feeling stinging or raw at 33 weeks I reccomend you contact your doctor who knows your full pregnancy history and how the baby is positioned and they will be able to advise you.

I wish you all the best for the arrival of your baby.

Warm Regards,

Tania
