Nearly 37 weeks and feeling pressure down below...

[oldermama2021]

I am a FTM so not sure if this is normal...lol...but for the past few days when I either go from sitting to standing or even when I am sitting it feels like I need to pee all the time. I am nearly scared that I am going to like wet myself...but I don't..thankfully. It just feels like pressure down below and I am just wondering if this is normal at this stage?
Thank you for your help.

The head is probably engaging.

Thank you @DinosaurDiana. At my last appointment the midwife said that the baby's head was down...so maybe that is what is causing the pressure/feeling. It is a weird sensation....

Its normal at any stage in the third trimester. I'm 29 weeks. Baby is transverse at the moment. But tbf it could just be my pgp, but feeling very 'heavy' down there!!

You’ll feel many more weird sensations before baby is out !
Best of luck 🤞🏻

@physicskate and @DinosaurDiana - thank you....yes there is definitely a very heavy feeling down there! I would think there is going to be a lot of strange feelings.....🤦‍♀️

Yep very normal and very uncomfortable!

Totally normal...just baby getting themselves in position for big day

Thank you all....at least I know I am not imagining it and it is normal. I sometimes have to keep checking that I am not wet!
