Bump/baby dropped?

Had a few people comment on how my bump looks very low. I've been finding it harder to walk over the last few days, and today I feel like baby is right down in my pelvis. It's actually been quite painful to walk today.
Anyway, does this mean anything - like labour coming soon? I'm 31 weeks, 2nd baby

My babies go low sometimes then flip back up. Only 28 weeks. I think it's fine.

Same happened to me at about 32 weeks, am 34+3 now and nothing else has happened, I wouldn't worry!
Even midwife commented on it, but wasn't concerned

Means nothing. My first was v low and fully engaged at 31 weeks and stayed there for 8 weeks.

With your second they're likely to pop back out again.

Thank god! I am at risk of premature birth, so just got a little worried. I can't remember DS "dropping".
Here's hoping I learn to manage the pain I'm in, sometimes it feels like my pelvis is ready to snap!

Same happened to me and today I woke up and he’s back right up. Currently just shy of 30 weeks

I've carried low throughout my pregnancy I use a support belt if I'm going to be walking about a lot or doing a lot of chores or if just feeling more pain in pelvis then normal.

I returned the first one I bought, 3 pieces was just a pita to deal with and it kept bunching up in the back, but I really like the second one I have now.
