April 2026 Babies UK 🇬🇧

Does anyone else here feel like their baby is in their ribs 24/7? I'm 35 + 5 weeks and she went from feeling really low to practically in my ribs. I've tried a few stretches and heat packs but it's just really uncomfortable.

I’m 34w1d with my second baby. Today at my midwife appointment she said baby is 2/5 engaged, I’ve packed my hospital bags but unsure when to start building baby’s crib. Installing car seat ect. When is everyone else doing these things?

Hi, I’m currently 34+3 wks and have been having bad pelvic girdle pain and tightenings, cramping pains for the past month (triage says it’s from PGP). I had my 34wks midwife appointment today and was told the baby is really low down. I’m barely able to walk around as it’s so uncomfortable and can only waddle. It seems a bit too early to have the baby engaged in the pelvis, has anyone had this and done anything that helped? I’m in so much pain from it, no position is comfortable anymore. TIA!

Pregnant with my second currently 37 + 2 and unsure if currently in labour as seems too good to be true😂 forgot to time some of the contractions but they are a minute long, went for a bath still had contractions, currently sitting on birthing ball, stomach goes hard, uncomfortable and painful and I can feel it down below and in my pelvis. don’t wanna call up incase it’s not labour as I can’t really remember what it felt like with my first🙈 any advice greatly appreciated .

I’m 37 weeks today and have got some lightning pains in my back and some dull aches cramps really low on my stomach/ groin. Also had a really bad night sleep last night due to being uncomfortable. Could this be the start of something.
