What the cocking Nora is going on in my nooni?

[JamInMyWellies]

I am 39wks tom, baby no.3.

I am getting horrible shooting stabby pains in my vagina sort of upwards really hurts my bladder and makes me feel like I will pee myself. Or that the baby is going to fall out.

What fresh hell is this?

Dont remember this in previous pregnancies.

Oh god, this is happening to me too and just came on to search the symptoms. 38+1, need to make it til Tuesday for childcare and panicking a bit. Never had this with dc1

oh and i know baby is so low cos i can feel the.movement in my bum and right in my cervix. I think i lost some plug yesterday as something plopped into the look. (sorry Tmi) Have you had any other signs?

loo

Had some back pain a few days ago.

I can feel his hands sort of under my hip bones and my belly is hanging at my knees!

So glad it's not just me.

yes! my belly is hanging lower than large mat tops. Not a pretty sight Good luck. Hopefully someone experienced will come along and tell us what it is.

I asked my DSIS who is a midwife her response was "Erm
Maybe the head is engaging" .

Need to know this answer!! Couldnt describe the pain the other day but you have perfectly. 37 weeks.

hmm if it's just engaging head then why we not felt it before?

I had this with ds2, my midwife told me it is just the position of the baby once they get down low (although ds2 was never completely engaged until I went into labour). I do remember it being agony and having to sit down very carefully! Your description of it feeling like the bay is going to fall out describes it well. I remember telling the midwife it felt like ds2 was trying to push his way out.

I hoped it was a sign of birth being iminent, but the bugger was 9 days late.

Oh tutu dont say that, was hoping it meant he night turn up on time or a few days early.
