Has anyone else felt a lot of tightening I feel like she's been constantly moving about today and when I've been walking today I got like sharp pains down there I think she might be just pressing on my bladder as the midwife confirmed her head is just above ready to be engaged. I just feel a lot more is going on at this stage than I did with my other 2!

I’m the same too! 35 weeks, head is in the pelvis, my cervix feels like it hurts and constantly weeing. Lots of tightening and cramps etc

@Laura yeah sounds very similar, 5 weeks to go or maybe sooner 😬

I experienced something super weird today at 34weeks! I went for a walk and the pressure was insane. The need to pee became unbearable. Then I looked down, and she moved down. I touched and she was definitely low. My bump looked completely different, smaller for sure! I thought she might have dropped but this evening she came back up lol
My second pregnancy and I totally feel you, this pregnancy is definitely something else.
Did baby drop?

@Ley wow that does sound strange I had the insane pressure when I went for a walk and constantly needing to pee but I didn't see that she'd moved down and as if she's come back up lol. Yeah it's very different this pregnancy never had braxton hicks with my other two, just feels so different but I don't think she's dropped yet I don't think my other 2 did though tbh as they struggled to come out!

Yes there are cramps and frequent urgency to wee

You might want to inform a doctor of that if your bump looks smaller, at 32 weeks my sister went to a normal doctor's appointment and just happened to mention to the doctor that her bump looked a little smaller and it turned out she was leaking amnionic fluid and that's why her bump looked smaller. I am certainly not saying that is what is happening to you but I'm just saying that it is possible because it happened to my sister so you might want to get checked out. And no she did not notice that she was leaking like down there or anything. She just thought it was like normal discharge cuz she was having very heavy discharge towards the end.

thank you! Im seeing the midwife on Tuesday so I will mention it but she had moved back up and my bump looks higher again X
