OMG I think he has engaged...

[sparklygothkat]

Am only 31 weeks, but am pretty sure that DS2 has engaged. Yesterday I keep getting a strange pain, which felt like he was breakdancing on my cervix and like someone was stabbing my up my fango Today I can breathe, and people have commented that my bump is very low today... scared now!!

keeping my fingers crossed for you SGK x

Oh, I remember that feeling with DS1. It happened on New Year's Eve in the middle of Brighton, and I had to stand stock still in the middle of the pavement until it settled down. Quite exciting though. (Not in a sexual way.)

good luck my dd kept dropping really low then coming back up so hoping it wont be to long a wait for you!

I don't want him yet!! I want to get to 37 weeks!! [sob] I have had 3 premature births and I want to get further this time. I have been injecting myself every day and I hoped it would help this time..

Oh dear, sorry, didn't realise that. Hope it all goes well for you and the baby.

Hi, I know how you feel, Im 36 weeks and bub is 4/5 engaged, feels like he could just pop out any second now.But i still have the pain in my ribs and breathlessness. Must be a big boy.

I "engaged" on December 1st. My mum was told to go and get her Christams shoppng done pronto. I was born on December 30th.

Hope everything is OK SGK. Take care.

I did think about standing on my head to get him out of there, but I might faint

Oooh SGK, remember theres a chance he might not be engaged!

Whens your next appt?

17th sept is when I am next at the diabetes clinic, 19th for normal clinic and scan. He has been head down since 24 weeks

I am hoping to get to 37 weeks at least too. Hope all goes well for you and you can hold on a bit longer.

Fingers crossed that he unengages SGK!!!

Can you call your clinic, describe your symptoms and see if they would see you (or at least give you an advise?) 17th seems a bit far away when you're feeling this different and nervous... My clinic always says: "Call us right away, call if in doubt, don't feel like you're bothering us. This is what we're here for."

GOOD LUCK!!!

he doesn't want to come today or tomorrow. I have just brought a beautiful maternity dress for a wedding tomorrow that costs me £45!!! I will put a cork up there

TBH I don't like to phone the hospital as they like to keep me there.. I spent weeks in hospital with DD2, and I don't want to stay there..

Sparkly - I know you obviously don't want to stay there but I think you have a choice

Maybe you could call community MW and ask if she just examine you re engagment and then take it from there....

TBH I am surprised they have not recommended virtual total bedrest before now....

don;t know my Midwife's number, otherwise I would ask her to pop round, she only lives round the corner. I will see if I can get an appointment with her next week, but thats not till thursday. We don't have comminuty midwifes as such here

I think he has defo. engaged, I can feel a pressure down there, don;t worry its not the baby's head coming out lol, but no contractions so not worried atm

hang in bub you got to stay bump for 6 more weeks at least!
Sex always made dd shift then again it could start contractions
relax call the hospital and see if they have contact no for your mw iyswim

No having him during the wedding tomorrow now SGK!

am relaxing now I am only going to the wedding tomorrow, not the reception. I think it will be too much to do both

fingers crossed for you sgk
enjoy the wedding

I think he has popped back out, my bump has shifted back up.

Glad to hear it - sounds like he's fickle
Did you enjoy the wedding?
