Hi...im 34 weeks tomorrow..and have some pain/pressure in my pubic region ....is this likely to be pelvis moving for birth..or baby dropping? Head has been down for 3 weeks now..but not engaged....Just curious really if anyone else is feeling similar? xx

I find it feels like the baby has got a "wing" of my pelvis in each hand and is pushing them apart. It's not painful as such, but a very odd sensation, and not particularly comfortable

hi beller, yes I have this too - like the head is just too heavy for my pubic bone to cope with. I have recently had a swollen fanjo when walking too - almost as if the weight of the baby is pushing that out too! I'm 36+4 so you might have that to look forward to too!
