Feeling a lot of pressure/ baby dropping.

So my due date is tomorrow 🙈 Just wanted to check if anyone else felt a lot of pressure/ baby dropping/ maybe even belly getting tight.
I’m not in pain or anything just feeling it and baby is moving a lot more than usual.

Is this normal, this is my fist baby 👶

Trying to feel pretty today and bring out my confidence

Contractions with closed cervix

I’ve been up at triage overnight since yesterday morning for movements. On the ctg and what I can feel is tightening/contractions and they’re in the high 50s/60s on the toco readings. The doctor checked my cervix because of this but it’s closed still, but I can still see them happening on the toco machine. They’ve also seen I have excess fluid around baby. I’m going home soon but it just worries me a little. Any information or advice would be great

Crazy contractions last night

Is this early/false labour - last night I had regular cramps which progressed into huge pressures. Started every 10 mins down to eventually every 2 mins. Was about to wake up my husband & get going but baby then did a huge somersaulting flip & they started to calm down. They went from every 2 mins, back to every 5, every 10 then eventually stopped.

Was baby just pushing on something to bring on braxton hicks or was that a false labour thing?

Just wanted to share

Today my daughter put her finger up and said ‘one second’ and went to pick up another toy 😂😂 I was in shock as this is the first time she’s done this just a big reminder of how quickly they grow up 🥹

Perineal massage

Hi ladies! I'm 35+3 and started doing perineal massage on Sunday (my husband is doing it for me). For those of you who have had children, did you do it and felt it benefited you?
