I get so frustrated by people telling me I'm "still carrying high" and "its going to be a bit longer". So I started telling them that her head is right down as low as it can go, to shut people up!
Just wondering how accurate it was...
I have started having pains down there but nothing that I'd describe as an electric shock!
Don't really know. Don't worry about people saying you are carrying high. My bub didn't drop visibly until the day I went into labour. I'd had my OB appt on the Friday and was not fully engaged & had the bub on the Monday afternoon at 38/4. You just never know when it might happen.
Grinding the cervix is major ouchies!!!
Not too much longer. Don't stress about the difference, if the head is down it is likely to stay down and bub will come when she is ready.
Good luck with impending labour and birth and the arrival of your sweet baby girl.
Also - WRT the ultrasound, your OB should be able to tell you where he thinks baby is positioned. Using an u/s to determine position, to me sounds very uneducated. Hun, you know your body, you tell us what you think! My boy didn't 'engage' until the day I went into labour...
Sorry but this made me laugh. I remember walking through a shopping centre and experiencing the same shock, I almost fell to the ground letting out a ohhhhh. One man walking past yelled, OMG her waters have broken, very funny, I think we were both as embarrassed as each other..... Oh memories of being pregnant, thanks for the reminder...
I've definitely started getting the electric shock feelings!! Meluchja, don't apologise, the same thing has almost happened to me - but not quite
Cookie - the Obs had already determined she was head down before I went to the scan... I said to my DH last night that she feels like she's ready to come out. Not tomorrow, but I think its only going to be a few more weeks.
Who knows? I am a first time mum after all - I could be way off
I've been getting those elecric shock type pains as well but mostly only when I get up to walk somewhere. It feels like a really sharp stabbing type pain right about where the cervix should be. It stops me in my tracks normally - very ouchy.
I feel as though my bub has moved down in my pelvis too. I can feel him moving down low now where as I couldn't before.
