    Question Feels like its going to fall out!

    I'm having a lot of pressure down low and something up inside feels like its going to fall out or is hanging out.

    I've had a feel and cannot tell what it is.

    Any ideas??

    Cystocele? Rectocele? Prolapse of some kind?

    He may have possibly engaged would that put pressure and make it feel like my vagina is going to fall out?

    The feeling is still there when im sitting which is what im doing.

    Yep it can feel like that. Is there anything unusual in your vagina? Or is it just pressure?

    Apart from the outside being extremely swollen, i had a feel inside and it feels somewhat normal i guess, nothing seems to be hanging out which is what the feeling is.

    I was standing up and felt a lot of pressure particularly in my bum and then my vagina had a lot of pressure then this feeling of it 'falling out' happened so i raced to the toilet but couldn't feel anything!

    Yep that's engagement. Happy days! Unfortunately for second time mums the head can engage and disengage many times before the onset of labour so it's about waiting!

    Yes, it sounds like bub is engaged to me too. Feels like you are sitting on a basketball. And don't even think about crossing your legs because you'll find it's practically impossible, lol. I'll cross my fingers that if your bub isn't going to come soon, that they decide to disengage for a while to make you more comfortable.

    Oh, have you also noticed that the top of your bump has sunk? I find that once bub has engaged the top of my bump stops being so round and high and tends to slope downward a little more at the top. I had decent sized kiddies and I don't exactly have a large frame, so my bump always looked huge though, lol

    Hes definitely in and out in and out as the pressure is insane when i stand up for a certain amount of time. My belly has definitely sloped downwards, i dropped a few days ago and its looking very odd shaped!

    Having a few mild but intense contractions so hopefully not long!

    DS never fully engaged until after AROM. I stood up at one stage during labour and was blown away by how weird it felt. I thought he was going to fall out. He didn't come for another few hours, though.

    Fingers crossed Little Man comes soon!
