Yes, it can be normal for a pregnant woman to feel pain or pressure near the tips of the pelvic bone when the fetus shifts position, especially in the third trimester. Here's why:
💡 Possible Reasons for Pelvic Bone Pain:
-
Fetal Pressure: When the baby moves into a certain position (especially head-down or "engaged" in late pregnancy), the head or limbs can press against the pelvic bones.
Engagement Pain: As the baby "drops" lower into the pelvis (lightening), the pressure on bones, muscles, and nerves increases.
Nerve Compression: Sometimes, a baby’s position can press on nearby nerves (e.g., the sciatic nerve), leading to sharp or radiating pain.
✅ When it's usually normal:
-
Pain is brief, position-dependent, and goes away with movement or rest.
-
It feels like a deep ache or sharp jab, especially when baby moves or kicks low.
❗When to seek medical attention:
-
Severe or constant pain.
-
Bleeding, unusual discharge, or contractions.
-
Pain with fever or burning sensation when urinating.

QUESTION 2 : is it normal that sometimes the belly hard like egg shell during the third trimester?
es, it’s very normal for your belly to feel hard like an eggshell at times during the third trimester — especially as you get closer to your due date. This is usually caused by:
✅ 1. Braxton Hicks Contractions (“Practice Contractions”)
-
What they feel like: Your belly suddenly becomes very firm or tight, then relaxes after a while.
-
Common in 3rd trimester (sometimes even from 2nd).
-
They are irregular, usually not painful, and go away with rest, hydration, or position change.
Signs it's Braxton Hicks:
Feature | Braxton Hicks |
---|---|
Duration | ~30 seconds to 2 minutes |
Pattern | Irregular, doesn’t get stronger over time |
Pain level | Mild or just uncomfortable |
Trigger | Often after activity, full bladder, dehydration |
Relief | Better with rest, water, or changing position |
❗When to Be Concerned:
You should contact your doctor or midwife if the hard belly comes with:
-
Regular, painful contractions (could be early labor).
-
Severe pain, especially if it's sudden.
-
Bleeding or fluid leaking.
-
Decreased fetal movement.
-
Fever, dizziness, or unusual symptoms.
💡 Tips to Ease Discomfort:
-
Drink plenty of water (dehydration triggers Braxton Hicks).
-
Change positions — lie down if standing, or walk if lying.
-
Take slow, deep breaths.
-
Try a warm shower to relax your belly muscles.
In summary:
A hard belly like an “eggshell” now and then is normal and often just Braxton Hicks or baby pressing out. But if it’s painful, regular, or feels off, it’s always okay to call your healthcare provider to be sure.
