    feeling full and heavy..

    just wondering if this means anything and if so what could it mean? this morning i woke up feeling a little crampy (no more than i have been having over the last few weeks, just having braxtons overnight) but we DTD and after that i have been feeling really full and heavy in my lower belly and actually in my vaginal area (TMI-sorry), even a little in the butt region. it is really uncomfortable to walk around cause of this feeling. do you think there is something wrong? or just a normal part of being in the later part of pregnancy. i dont remember feeling this first time round.

    Has bub 'dropped' overnight? Sounds abit like what that feels like... maybe? have you got more room between belly and boobs, and easier to breathe???

    Sounds like the baby might have dropped and be partly engaged. I don't think it's happened to me yet but a friend of mine described it as "trying to walk around with a bowling ball between your legs" -

    The baby might have moved back up and out of your pelvis again? They can move up and down a bit I think, esp in the weeks before birth. Might have been a practice run
