The past two days I’ve been experiencing a lot of pressure down below, the first time I felt it I just really thought I was desperate for a wee and that I couldn’t hold it, but it very quickly disappeared.
I then realised that its baby moving further down into my pelvis and the sensation is so strange - this is my first baby so never felt anything like this before! These feelings of pressure have been on and off for the past two days.
I’ve also had some mild, period-like cramps the past two days.
Has anyone else experienced this at 33 weeks? I’m worried it’s a bit early for him to be moving lower down into my pelvis and means he may end up coming early. A bit concerned as we’re at a wedding away all weekend which is 4 hours away! Planning on taking a hospital bag with me anyway, just in case.
Has anyone else had these sensations around this time in their pregnancy?

I’m 33+ 6 and having the same I feel like my baby is going to fall out of me I haven’t really been able to stand or walk much today or yesterday as it’s so beyond uncomfortable. I also have ligament pain that’s pretty much constant aswell and some lower back pain .

i’m 33+5 and i have been having the exact same thing regarding the pressure down below! it makes me feel like i need to pee so badly and it’s super uncomfortable at times! xx

I’m 31+2 and started to feel this. Had a growth scam the other day and she’s low and head down. It’s like carrying a bowling ball round down there 😂
Need recommendations please!! 🥰🫧

We were thinking on trying for a baby soon but I don’t want to be sick over Christmas time?!🤣 when do you reckon is the best month to conceive. Mind you it might take a while as my boyfriend is 40 and a smoker??

* I have messaged doctor waiting for response*
Laying on my side in bed this morning my toddler was playing with my husband and she then fell back and her butt fell on my belly. It didn’t hurt when she fell and baby moved a little after she fell. I haven’t had any pain except some gas pain that will go away if I lay/sit in a certain position. Being only 22 weeks with an anterior placenta there really isn’t like a normal pattern of movement she does yet. There hasn’t been any gush or liquid or any bleeding. My daughter weighs in the 30lb range. Is there anything I should worry about or get checked?

I’ve been feeling so much pressure down there but it seems to have gotten worse today. I am not comfortable sitting down, am not comfortable standup. I seriously don’t know what to do with myself. I’m 36w3d… midwife had already told me baby is very low and that I won’t make it to my due date. With how much pressure am feeling, I just want to make it to 37w but even that feels so far either way how uncomfortable I’m feeling!
Anyone else experiencing this?

I’m 5 weeks pregnant and feeling quite anxious about whether everything is okay. How do you cope with the uncertainty and find reassurance at this early stage? Any tips to help ease my mind until I can get confirmation from my doctor?
