Pressure/discomfort
I'm 31 weeks tomorrow (first pregnancy) and for the last week I've been getting a really strong feeling of pressure just above my pubic bone at the bottom of my belly. It's not painful but definitely not comfortable either. Baby was head down at my last OB visit nearly 3 weeks ago and I assume she's the same now - no real changes to pattern of kicks etc.
Any idea what I'm feeling? Is it just baby's head pushing down? Anything I should be worried about?

Bub could perhaps be starting to engage (think that's the word I'm looking for - too tired to form a proper sentence).
Hope it's not too much of a discomfort. If it doesn't feel right, it's always nice to be checked out. Is your next appt next week?

Pressure/discomfort
Could be bubs settling into the pelvis to play the waiting game! All my bubs were head down and as low as they could be without being engaged from around 32weeks. Then they just stayed there and I felt heavier and started to waddle as the pregnancy neared the end!
But if you are unsure of anything always pays to get it checked out or you will go crazy with worry!

Thanks. That's what I figured it is, I just wasn't sure if it's way too early. My whole belly looks quite low so it makes sense.
My next OB appointment is on Tuesday so I'll double check then.
