Sensations at 38 weeks

Mums who were pregnant before ... I’m 38 weeks, and last few days I have episodes of major pressure and uncomfortable pain down my pelvis. I know my baby is breech though it can’t be the head engaging. Also I don’t feel anything what I could call a contraction .. and afternoon these episodes I feel exhausted and sometimes have discharge coming with this pressure . Any ideas what is happening ?

Could the baby have moved?

Ideally phone the triage unit up at wherever your giving birth or being seen and get a check done.

Good luck mama.

Def phone your midwife or maternity unit.
This could be it SmileSmile

sounds like baby has moved and head is moving downwards, hence the pressure.

good luck!!

I can tell he is still breech, that’s for sure

Sometimes baby’s bum can start to engage it could be that? I would mention it at next midwife appt or phone triage if it gets really uncomfortable.
