Went to see evil, horrible consultant lady on Tuesday to get my CS date booked. She wrote on my notes 3/5 which I know is to do with how far down the head is but don't know which wat the numbers go..ie does it start at 1/5 and go to 5/5 or the other way around and what does it mean in simple idiot terms??!! Grin

Also feeling really uncomfortable lately - I've got SPD but this is a different kind of uncomfortable - it's like the baby pushes down as hard as it can and I'm a bit scared to walk anywhere as that makes it worse! I don't remember this from dd and ds (although most of it has been mentally blocked out!!) Is it just a normal 'feeling' at this stage?

I had a similar feeling at 38wks. The baby kept dropping into the pelvis and it felt as though she was about to fall right out!

Nothing happened though. I went into hospital to be induced at 39+3wks and dd eventually arrived the following day.
