I m 31 weeks plus 4 days, I ve been having bad pressure in my lower abdominal area for the last few day, I had a midwife appointment yesterday and she said the babies head was low down. Today the pressure has increased and when I walk I feel I need to go to the toilet, I went earlier and when I wiped twice there were pin pricks of blood on the tissue.
Any vaginal bleeding at 31 weeks is a cause for concern. The fact that you are feeling this much pressure plus vaginal spotting tells me you need to be evaluated for preterm labor. Likely, you are not in preterm labor, but I cannot guarantee you that you aren't without doing a cervical exam and monitoring you for a while. Please go to the hospital for evaluation. When you go, they will likely do a pelvic exam with a cervical check and put you on the monitor for a while to make sure you aren't contracting. They may run a couple tests, and you may get an ultrasound to make sure baby has enough fluid. If you are in preterm labor and end up delivering, 31 week babies tend to do well, especially with the Ficus available today. Good luck!!
