Hola mommas! Question, at what week did you notice a drop?

I think I just noticed mine this week! What do you all think? 33 vs 34 weeks.

It looks lower to me!

I dropped around 30 weeks and baby now seems so low in my pelvis that I feel like he/she is going to drop out sometimes! I've had lots of pressure down there the last few days and feels like its head is grinding against my pubic bone... not sure if that's normal?!

 

[Wannabe Mommy]

Yup I've dropped this week too, waddle has settled in and lots of pressure in my bits when I walk.

I had my 34 week appointment yesterday and I mentioned to my doc that unlike before when I felt like I had pulled groin muscles, now it's like my pubic bone is being cracked in half. He said it's normal that the muscles are relaxing and the pelvic area is starting to spread apart to make room for the baby. It hurt so bad I was in tears the other night.

I definitely have the pregnancy swagger (waddle) going on now. LOL

try an ice pack on the area for 5 mins at a time (or until the skin goes pink). physio gave me that advice for lightning crotch. feel better soon hun xxx

I think I dropped around 33wks, 'cause photos I'm on at 34wks, my bump was definitely lower.

TeeinAZ - LOL pregnancy swagger My husband laughs when I have to "run" to the bathroom. I can only get the waddle going so fast.

 

[TeeinAZ]

HAHAH I am so out of breath walking to my car in the morning. I'm definitely getting slower and slower. HAHAH I totally have the sway going on.

no drop here, mw checked this morning, head is now down again but free of the pelvis :/

 

[Mrs.stefka]

I'm 33 weeks tomorrow and fell like, and noticed, a drop. I'm definitely sleeping more uncomfortably the last few days, so I'm sure that has something to do with it!

I'm not sure if baby has dropped yet, but I can definitely relate to what you're all saying!....

I'm waddling now, and my pubic bone is killing me too! I started seeing a chiro to help....she specializes in pregnancy. I felt my pubic bone shift one night several weeks ago when I was trying to pull our heavy covers up in bed with one foot. Apparently asymmetrical movement is not good for the pubic bone at this point, because it's already being stretched from the hormones. I'm hoping the chiro treatments will help.

Is anyone feeling kind of lazy and impatient? I still have things I want to get done before baby comes....a list of things, but I just don't feel like doing them. I've lost my motivation! I just want the baby to come now!

EVERYTHING you said, I feel. My co-worker was saying how this is similar to my first trimester, I said OMG no, it's worse. LOL I feel way more b!tchy

 

[noodles13]

I am so impatient that it upsets me hahaha i keep crying because ive got 7 weeks left and oh keep saying you were upset when you had 11 weeks left why are you still upset now?? Haha I can't answer that of course

 

[Mummafrog]

There with you ladies waddling! Her head is still free I'm assuming but she has felt low for ages, I never feel uncomfortable under my ribs or breathless, it's all pelvic pain and achey lower bump etc. I'm glad she favours being head down at the moment but sometimes I think how much I'd love a break
I can feel her movements across my whole tummy now and she pushes into my hips/bladder by kicking her feet against my stomach. Pregnancy is a funny business

I'm the opposite! I've got so much to do, but I just feel too tired / achey to do it so it's taking ages! I hope bub doesn't come early as nothing is done!

35 weeks today! And we have found out we will be moving house in a couple of weeks... eeek!

 

[Dory85]

I looked at the calendar today and nearly had a heart attack. This thread was started because we weren't ready to talk about labour. Well we'd better get ready lol.
For so long I've been thinking its after the wedding and then a week of work until I start maternity leave. Now I'm married and its my last working day on Thursday!!

 

[pinkbump2011]

Hope you ladies are all well! Our May baby arrived on April 8th weighing 7lb5oz. Doctors weren't happy with the scan an then the ctg so they delivered early. Elcs was booked for 17th @ 37+6 but baby jenson come @36+4. He is perfect but currently in a children's specialist hospital as he has been having some problems. Can't wait to get him home x

 

[Buggzxxx]

Oh wow congratulations! I hope you get little Jenson home very soon x

 

[TeeinAZ]

Whew, 35 weeks today and I am feeling it. I haven't been sleeping much at all the last week, the acid reflux has returned and I have slowed down a lot.

I am really hoping that Noah makes his appearance in about 2-3 weeks instead of the full 5 weeks.
