Baby dropping at 29+3

Hi this is probs nothing but I’m 29+4 today and I just keep getting a weird feeling my baby is coming soon , I’m a FTM so I’m not sure if my body is trying to tell me something or if I’m just over thinking it but today I was sitting on my sofa and I like I really need to pee again (not unusual I know) then I go pee and I got like this strange kind of relief feeling and when I stood up I felt my baby very very low like almost by my pelvic bone and now it feels and looks low - as in you know when you suck in your tummy I can do that now and I’m flat and I just have this like hard lump at the bottom of my belly - I’m not small by any means but i tried to do this before to see my baby’s size once and I literally couldn’t suck in anything it was so hard - I’m typing this at almost 4am so apologies if it’s making no sense but I don’t know what to think, I’ve been losing my mucus plug for around 2 weeks now and I know it’s regenerating but just wondering if anyone has experienced similar? Google telling me I could be close to giving birth or not at all so who knows

Im 33 weeks and his head is low in my pelvis… and you can feel it there… but if you think your losing your mucus plug then just ring triage to be safe, explain what your experiencing and they can do a check and give you more info. Better to be safe than wish you’d rung them x

Your uterus is changing shape and becoming more pear shaped to accommodate the drop. My baby has been dropping since wk 28, I'm now 32+1.

If you are concerned trust your instincts and call triage like Hollie suggested, no such thing as being too cautious xx

This is completely normal x

I think most FTM (myself included) think/ somewhat hope they will go into labour early. Baby being head down and pelvic pressure is a good sign but honestly most people go into labour 40-42 weeks. With my first I lost my mucus plug at 27, constant intense braxton hicks from 28, head was engaged at 34 and I still made it all the way to 38, waters broke after I literally jumped around at Taylor swift concert for 4-5hours.

Advice needed please

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how to get my waters to break? My plug has gone and I feel like I could burst any moment but it’s not happening. I’ve had 3 occasions now where I’ve laboured for several hours with little to no progress and I’m fed up of it now (40 weeks now)

How would you feel?

I had 2 c-sections and my BD made the comment that the sound my flesh made when being cut by the doctor was the same sound the flesh of the pig makes when he and his uncles cut it up after slaughtering.
I said it is not very nice to compare me to a pig but he just said he was surprised that it was the same sound.

Help! Second pregnancy and I have this awful awful prickling feeling in my crotch from my pubic hair rubbing against everything or idk from what.

Does anyone else experience this it’s constant and I feel like I’m going to go crazy. No creams or baths help my dr even prescribed a strong cream but it doesn’t help either. Even sugaring doesn’t help only for a little until the hair starts to grow back. What do I do? I’m going crazy from this I can’t even sleep.
