Will I feel it when bubs head engages?

With #2 i didn't but with #1 i felt it. i was walking around the shops and suddenly felt like the baby was about to fall out. I just had this huge amount of pressure down there and it felt like i had a bowling ball stuck between my legs. I also had a lot of pelvic pain for the rest of the pregnancy too. #2 i did notice i was 'waddling' more when the midwife said bub had engaged but that was about it. Can't remember if i had any pain then.

I didn't feel it engage as such, but once she dropped I did have some shooting pain in my groin and some numbness down my leg - that was in the couple of days before she was born.

I never noticed a thing with my kids. No pelvic pain or anything - I'd been peeing constantly since I got the bfp so I didn't notice any change in that department either

My hubby noticed it though - especially with DD he was telling me for a good week that I'd dropped and a few people at work noticed it as well but I didn't take any notice because I couldn't feel anything different.

Some women will have all sorts of pelvic aches and pains though - hips, pubic bone, tail bone etc. Sometimes you might notice you can breathe a bit better as your lungs get a bit more room too.

Bubs has been engaged for the last couple of weeks and i've been getting sharp, stabbing pains in my pubic area - it can be quite uncomfortable.
