Feeling “Lighter” 🤣 at 36 Weeks

Hi mums 🤍

For the past two weeks I’ve been having a lot of Braxton Hicks contractions every day — anywhere from 10–20, sometimes even 30. I’ve also felt a lot of pressure in my pelvis (and my bum hole 🤣) plus some mild period-like cramps.

But over the last few days, it’s suddenly stopped. I might get one or two contractions a day, but that’s it ( not pain at all). The pressure is gone, and I actually feel… lighter? It’s hard to explain!
Is this normal? 🤣 Has anyone else experienced something similar?

I’ll be 36 weeks tomorrow. 💛

I’m quite a lot more comfortable at 37 weeks than I was at about 32! Not sure which baby number this is for you? I’m on second and midwife said it’s really common for second/third etc babies to go in and out of being engaged!
