    Question Could it be bubs engaging?

    This pregnancy seems to be soo much different to when i was pregnant with my son. This bubs hurts when he kicks and has been spending a whole lot more time down there( Logan never engaged up until labour), i can feel pressure and he twitches down there like he could be snugling in.

    Anyway, this morning i have been feeling less kicks and more pressure then i got what felt like a shot of bad period pain, lasted for about a min, then went then came back for the same time. I know what BH feel like and this wasnt anything like them, much more painfull.

    Just wondeing if i should be worried? Anyone else had this?


    TIA

    Hello,
    I've had painful braxton hicks and thought it could have been the start of labour turns out it was nothing and I was told that seconds pregnancies are a lot more painful then the first and you experience pains that you wouldn't have in the first pregnancy.
    If you are still concerned I wouldn't hesitate to contact your mid wife better to be safe then sorry.
    Goodluck Kel

    Yeah i remember the midwife saying that with second pregnancys you get more pain. Guess this is what she ment.

    Thanks for your reply

    Hi Shorty
    For some women BH contractions can be painful enough to stop you in your tracks. My guess would be that you are having these painful BH contractions

    Thanks Alan,
    i did start drinking one cup of R.L.T a week ago, maybe this is just my body taking it in. Hopefully it means im in for a shorter labor lol (one can only hope its less than 15hours).
