For the past 3 days ive had a really bad bruised feeling down there, like my pubic bone has been badly kicked/punched to death. It hurts to walk,turn over in bed and bend down. Anyone else got it this bad? Im guessing its normal at this stage as shes nearly 4/5ths engaged now, but i never thought it would be this bad!
SPD, Your lucky its struck this late hun! Just make sure you rest lots and keep your knees together when turning over in bed, getting out of car etc....its agony I know ps. 4/5ths means that 4 out of the 5 5ths of the babies head is still above the pelvis or at least thats what my mw said to me! You still have lots to go before shes completely engaged. I think its 0/5's fully engaged.
oh is that what it is? Yeah, my bad my midwife does it the other way round, she means 4/5ths of the babys head is engaged, she can only feel 1/5th of it.
