The more they engage, the more pressure it is on your pelvis, so he's probably engaging further. When Emily started engaging, the pressure was so intense I thought she was going to fall out! And I had about 4 weeks of that. Have you got a manual labour job, or a desk job? Do what you can to relax at work, or take Panadol. If it doesn't ease up after Panadol, then a call to your midwife certainly wouldn't hurt.
i do data entry so im sitting most of the time, ill take some panadole and see how it turns out, hopefully thats just what he is doing, thank you for giving me some advice jodi, its the first time for me so i never felt these things before
I remember in my last week or so at work (I worked til 37 weeks) I was constantly having to wee. I also had the feeling that I needed to either fart or do a poo - but when I got to the loo didn't actually need to. Does this sound like what's happening to you? If so then it's probably just the normal preparation as you head towards birth. I don't remember getting any pain with it though.
The tenseness & pain you are describing are most likely to be caused by BH but if it gets worse you might like to go home and take it easy. If the pain gets regular you might want to have a chat with the midwife.
well i think this means ur legs could fall off round about..... NOW!
lol..
i have no idea but..... im thinking its bub letting u know that its nearly time to come out soon!!! woohooo!! being nearly 36 weeks is great! not too early!
I am currently experiencing all that at the moment. According to my ob (who I saw yesterday), bubs is just getting ready for his or her big arrival. It is very uncomfortable and I am hoping that something is finally happening!!
