did you feel or notice your baby drop towards the end?

i’m 37+1 and i feel like mine has but i can’t tell bc i look at my belly everyday. i’m not sure if i see a difference or not. i know he’s been head down for at least two weeks. he’s been moving a lot more the last few days, i feel more pelvic pressure, and the waddle is in full effect as well 😂

what about you?

Yes! To all of this! I am exactly 37 +1 today and my husband even noticed a visible drop!!

This is me too!! My husband said he thinks I have but I’m also like am I just trying to convince myself he has. My belly over all just feels “different” & more of a pull down than before. Definitely have that pressure too.

Mine noticeable dropped. No other symptoms but I can see a distinct difference.

so i’m not alone! now that i’ve looked at some pics from 34w to now, i think it’s lower. i also noticed i have that preggo lean back posture when i walk/waddle now

I posted a pic a few days ago, i took belly pics 2 or 3 days apart and you can tell i dropped! No reason i took them, i just did lol
But i didn't feel much different really. Waddle was worse but not much else.

A way you can tell is by applying light pressure on the top of your stomach. If baby dropped the upper part of your tummy should be soft and squishy unless baby has a body part pressed right there. I personally have felt A LOT more pressure on my back, pevis, vagina, and my upper thighs. Plus my waddling has gotten really bad lol

Plus I feel her fluttering alot lower. Like when she turns her head or is playing with her face, I can feel movement down lower then I did before

thank you! that’s definitely stuff i’ve noticed this past week. i think the soft upper tummy was the biggest giveaway

normal or infected?

5 weeks post c section , i went at the beginning of the week as my wound had opened completely different area to what’s leaking. was told it didn’t look infected. anyone know if this is normal coming off it, it’s only a little amount at a time

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

I am so done with pregnancy !

Everything i do hurt . I sit down / i stand up / i walk / i lie down. I am in pain ! I am tired ! His mouvement hurt down there like electricity chock ! My back is on fire ! If i walk more then 5 minutes i feel like i am going to die ( low ferritine) the acid reflux is crazy . I mean i can’t and don’t wanna do this no more . Only 31 weeks !
