38 weeks and feel a bulge down below

[Polly2020]

Hi All
38 weeks no particular pain about 8 trips to the loo and very broken sleep... I feel like there is a large 'bulge' is this normal eg baby moving down or could this be d day

Could be time, how exciting! Good luck

Ohhh do you think..... Of all days today would be the only one I would hope not haha.... Typical first time since 28 weeks that I see anyone other then my dc and DM I have plans to finally see my 5 closet friends in the garden 🙈

Could just be the baby moving down, I'm 37 weeks and had this for a couple of weeks, up around 7/8 times a night. Cried the other nights 🤣🤣

Pregnancy is so hard on our body's x

It could be, it could be a false alarm. However, making plans for doing something else may just have persuaded your body that today's the day...

The first person who knew about me being in hospital and my DS having been born was a woman at tesco customer service, because I had to cancel my grocery delivery

I hope everything goes well for you, whether it's today or another day that your baby decides to arrive.

This happened to my friend last year, we'd arranged a lovely outdoor picnic as restrictions had lifted. She was due in a week or two, we had a lovely time and were there around 6 hours or so and she said she'd had a bit of a backache. The next morning her partner messaged us saying she'd given birth overnight, turns out the backache was labour and she was just enjoying seeing us too much to make a fuss!

Your friends might just be a lovely distraction if you do to into labour!

@VNttc awww that's lovely I'm currently attempting to roll out of bed as it's so difficult to sit up to do it

It'll just be the babies head engaging probably, you didn't say if this was your first or not but if it is they can engage weeks before labour

@sarahc336 hi its my third but last baby was 13 years ago 🙈 iv been engaged for weeks... I just get anxious that I ll end up giving birth at home on my own I read far too many mums net threads haha x

Oh ok 😂 Well with my second her head was so low at the end I swear I could feel it with my thighs 😂 they do sit low at the end don't they. I guess if you really are worried just phone the triage team they'll help you out I'm sure 😃 xx

Good luck OP!

Hi all
Seems its just baby's head just learning a new technique of sitting 😂 which is like a balancing act on my bum and back
