This is my third pregnancy and in my previous two I don’t think I ever noticed baby engaging. With DS1 I had a midwife appointment at 36 weeks, baby wasn’t engaged at all and I went into labour the next day.
With DS I didn’t feel anything significant later in the pregnancy I just read in my notes they his head was engaged and that was that. I remember having a sweep at 38 weeks and the midwife said she could feel his head so easily with how low it was but I don’t think I felt much different, unless it was very gradual.
I’m 34 weeks today, and when out on a walk I had so many pains down below. Lots of lightening crotch and feeling a lot of pressure. I’m not worried as such my only slight concern is that DS1 was born at 36 weeks and I wouldn’t like another baby being born preterm as he had quite a few problems despite being so close to full term.
I’m assuming this is all normal though and my new adopted waddle will be my walk for the foreseeable?
