I'm not the only one, yahoo!

I started getting 'that sensation' around 34 weeks. At my 36 week checkup babe's head was 2/5 above brim (I assume engaged means the same thing?) But he hadn't tucked his chin down toward his chest, so his forehead was coming into contact with my pelvic and nether regions first, instead of his crown. My Ob did say that this could be slightly more painful than if he had his chin to chest, like a good boy!

I am finding now that these pains are worse at night, when I try to lay down and *apparrently* sleep! And as other people have described, it feels like babe is trying to kick their way out, or that someone is applying pressure in the top of the vagina from the inside (I suppose this is EXACTLY what's happening hey!)

I reckon it's probably completely normal, seeing as how so many of us are whinging about it! We can't all be wrong, right? By the way, any thoughts from anyone about how to stop it? Besides giving birth? And especially at night when it's time to get horizontal and sleep, I'd appreciate some ideas!
