nothing to do with engaging IMO

Sorry but pmsl at topside comment Grin

No advice but i have it all to come as i am 29 weeks atm.

Sounds like baby head could be engaged, has the MW checked for you?

In the Feb 06 antenatal thread, we referred to this phenomenon as "porno flaps"! Shock

Don't won't you do go down eventually. Smile

IME not related to engagement as both my dd's were late and never fully engaged until I was in labour.

PMSL! I had same sore heavy feeling few weeks ago (I'm 31 wks now) and phoned midwife (was panicking about incompetent cervix etc). She said to have a look and see if I could see anything that looks like varicose veins ... sure enough there were funny bulgy things. Apparenlty quite common with subsequent babies. Sure didn't have this with DD. Plus you're right, everything just looks bigger. Friends who also had the lovely vv say they go once you've given birth. Such a joy isn't it?!

heh heh, this made me chuckle - i'm 39 weeks and have the same problem - it's horrible and i live in constant fear of camels hoofage Grin

very reassuring to hear it should go after birth!

'Fanjo' always makes me howl w/maniacal laughter.

tyedye · 05/06/2006 12:23

Oh God,ive heard it all now,my ds had sex ed" at school recently,saw birth and was a bit green!I whispered"dont worry,they dont stay THAT big"much relief all roundGrin

Chloe55 · 05/06/2006 13:01

Don't waorry they will go down, almost immediately actually after birth. I think it is just from all the pressure in that area.

MummyToToby · 05/06/2006 19:48

trinityrhino · 05/06/2006 20:13

I used to just HAVE to sit down sometime right that minute cause they were sore and heavy and felt like my whole fanny was gonna fall out if I didn't sit on it lol

Can we have Enid's "my fanjo grew too" as quote of the week on the homepage ? Pretty please ?!

dubnobasswithmyheadman · 06/06/2006 13:45

Don't worry your beef curtains will shrink in due course - brings back unpleasant memories for me...

NomDePlume · 06/06/2006 13:48

I hate that phrase.

NatalieJane · 06/06/2006 13:49

Nothing to add to the thread but is it only me that keeps reading the title as Big Tits??

kbaby · 09/06/2006 21:52

I like someones roast beef line as thats exactly what they look like.

Sitting for so long is so painful and they throb.
