FTM, baby head down at 32 weeks, now 33+1 & bump has dropped…

[CTMcG]

Hi all,

33+1 today and last night I had immense pressure down low in my vagina area and today on and off pressure in bump. I think baby has ‘dropped’ totally down, bump is so different…. Is there a high chance baby will come before due date or can babies get in the position ready, 7 weeks before due date?

Immense pressure in *bum, not bump!

Your body definitely sounds like it's getting ready but I recall my first feeling like he was about to fall out for weeks before he came. I wouldn't assume anything.

Thanks for your response! I suppose I may get the hospital bags packed JUST incase lol

Yes totally normal for first pregnancy for baby to engage a few weeks before due date, in subsequent pregnancy’s they usually engage later, or even when labour begins!

Completely normal. First babies engage early and it means nothing in terms of labour.

My first was fully engaged from 31wks and stayed there.

@Preg19 ah thats good to know, essentially all is happening as suppose to so far :)

@ShowOfHands thanks for replying! Ah thats good to know!!
