What Causes Back Pain And Increased Intake Of Food During 32 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

I am 32 weeks 2 days pregnany. The past couple of weeks i have felt different and i feel like my baby has dropped. I feel like he has dropped because of lower back pain, I can eat larger meals, I can breathe, and more urination. Im not sure if I have lost my mucous plug yet but i haven t had any discharge today and I have sharp pains running through my vaginal area. Is no discharge normal? What does that mean when there is no discharge? Why do i have sharp pains and what does it mean?

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
It is natural that the baby drops and its head gets fixed sometime around 32 to 34 weeks of pregnancy.
During this time, few of them might experience back ache and slight vaginal discharge.
For back ache what you are experiencing, you need to take only symptomatic treatment by applying analgesic gel locally and take warm fomentation. In case the pain is not tolerable, then, you can take tablet Paracetamol.
Eat healthy food. Drink good quantity of fluids. Get your check-ups done at the right time as advised by your doctor. Relax and don't worry much.
Wish you all the best for a healthy outcome.
