My pelvis got like that about a week before. My m/w reminded me that the baby was so deeply engaged she was putting great pressure on my cervix, helping to get everything ready.
42 weeks is still completely average.Your body has plenty of time to get ready and this way your baby will be in great shape when s/he makes her/his grand entrance. S/he'll probably be more ready for life on the outside. Better at feeding, better size, etc.
Your body knows what it's doing, hun. Have faith in that. It's doing it's very best to cook and get ready to birth your baby.
Total sympathy for the rough nights though. I hope you can get plenty of rest during the day to make up for it.
And poo to those people and their comments. I nearly bit my Mum's head off when she kept saying things like "You've got to arrive before I have to leave on the weekend" (she got here NY day). She stopped.I posted a giant FB status to the effect that EDDs are estimated and baby would come on her birthday. It's not the same as two weeks over, but I wanted to stop any possible enquiries before they were made!
