So - in the last two days the frequent braxtons have stopped, and baby has progressively dropped more and more. I can now bend down to reach the floor again (yay!), get a full night's sleep (7-8hrs) without going to the toilet, and baby seems more anchored, the kicks are lower down (so my ribs are getting a rest!) and when I roll over I don't feel like I'm being punched in the guts. My hips seem more stable too, and no longer hurt if I accidentally take a step sideways. I do indeed feel 'lighter' so I'm guessing the head is engaging. BUT - I was told that would put pressure on my bladder and make me need to wee frequently - I'm finding the opposite! Am I odd? Is he just settling lower and not engaging if I don't need to wee all the time?
