real bad pressure down below

[Ju_bubbs]

Any ladies had this and still gone weeks and weeks before labour!?

It stated last week with a sudden big shooting pain right down in my pelvis, and I got the same pain for the rest of the day every time LO moved. An for the last week I've had an incredible amount of pessure down there, especially when LO moves.. I'm just hoping this doesn't mean labour is right round the corner!?

could be baby trying to engage! x

Thats what worries me!! Eveywhere I read says taht with 2nd or more pregnancies, baby doesn't engage til right before labour!

I have this too - midwife says the baby has started to engage now which is why my pelvis is feeling the pressure! She did say that some babies stay engaged for a long time so try not to worry. xx

Im expecting my 3rd & neither of my Boys 'engaged'

But this LO has dropped down for some time now & I think is engaging, as I have alot of pressure & pains down low....Hips also hurt alot

Good luck, im sure all will be fine & LO will keep cooking for a while yet
