normal?

[alish]

am i being a bit paranoid?

everyone is saying my belly has dropped and i will be delivering my baby in less than 10 weeks
ive had frequent bowel movements (well 3 times a day) now for the past week
yesterday & today ive been getting pains - not too frequent

please tell me its not labour coming on?

[RhiChiChi]

Bubs may have just moved to a more comfie position & it may look like he/she has 'dropped'. Bubs is also still growing, so you will feel pains as everything continues to stretch. Don't panic, you'll know when you are in labour

Sounds normal hun... try not to worry about it, people will always say something!

and given you're 30weeks, chances are you could be delivering bub in under 10weeks

[mom2be]

I think you're just being paranoid But hope all is well with you and your baby Yay! we have the same weeks. Im also 30 weeks

[~Stoked~]

With DS, my belly 'dropped' at 24 weeks. He was engaged 3/5ths over the brim. I was also getting regular BHs from 14 weeks. He wasn't born until 42 weeks. Alot of these signs don't mean much at all.

Wow your 30 weeks already. I would just take anything people tell you with a grain of salt. I was told so many things both pregnancies and if I had a dollar for each one I would be well not rich, but I would go on a little shopping spree

ok girls another question!! lol

yesterday morning i got up and felt all the pressure between my legs, im walking like a cowboy and babys movements are decreased - still just as strong but not as often as they were - she used to move all day now i only feel her once every hour or so..
im the same today

has she engaged??

[UntoldAngel]

Sounds like she has... she could pop back out though so don't be too worried

[black_rose]

Sounds like she has engaged, ds did the same at 34 weeks and stayed there until 39+5 weeks.

[zap]

Alish feeling the same here! I feel like with one good push bubba would be out!

[alish]

thanks girls

zap i cant believe how close we are !!

xx

[_JeSs_]

i agree with kazzo and ~stoked~! DS was engaged early as and i got told theres no way i would go over, 41 weeks and 4 days and he finally came out after they broke my waters lol... also got told he would only be 7-8 pounds and he was 9 pound 1!! not listening to anyone this time! deff sounds like shes engaged now though we are getting so close

[Artechim]

I would say she has engaged now. Mine did as well a few days ago and now I am getting tightenings across the bottom of my bump and if I crouch down it feels like everything is going to fall out of my fanny.

Not overly comfortable. In fact, I think I can say I am officially over it already!

[alish]

lol fanny!!! i love that word!

yay thanks everyone, im so excited
