@havanamama you seem to be missing off the list!? I'm so sorry I missed you 😱

I figured I'd tag everyone this time so noone gets lost 😊 I'm really sorry if I missed you!

@Amy1303 Aww he is gorgeous.
Im also due 27th March, Seeing how well you both are , is lovely, my baby is also predicted at 4lb at mo.

My first child was born at 27weeks- 19yrs ago, we came home '2 days before her due date' but they were v.much happy when babies hit 5lb and could feed easily- Maybe this is the same still?

Congratulations to the ladies that have had gorgeous babies! Jealous yet so unprepared for little one yet.
I had the worst night sleep to date, couldn’t shut off worried about what’s left to do and if baby was ok😩 I have a gut feeling she’s turned breech

@Amy1303 my last baby was born at 34 weeks he was 5lb he spent 4 days in nicu and then he came off the machines x

Thanks ladies. I always thought dropping would be uncomfortable. I've always seen comments about feeling like you have a bowling ball between your legs and having to waddle but it doesn't feel anything like that at the moment

@Rainbowbaby23 good luck with your GTT!

@firstlittleone oh no! How come you think she's gone breech? Did you feel any massive movements?

@Amy1303 congratulations!!

@TeddyBeans Mu bump did a very similar thing when it dropped and then the next time midwife felt my bump, she said baby had engaged 2/5ths.
I feel like it keeps getting lower and lower, so will see on Monday if baby has engaged further.

I get the lightning crotch and can breathe more freely, and sometimes feel the bowling bell feeling. However, haven't lost the plug or any leakages.

@TeddyBeans you can definitely see the difference. I found with my previous pregnancy's I was more uncomfortable when baby's head was bobbing about and not engaged because it pressed on things. However one engaged it was much more comfortable.

@havanamama little lady's gone from 4/5ths back to free over the last 4-5 midwife appointments. I have another one on Monday so will see what they say. When I got up and it felt smaller my initial feeling was shit my waters have gone and I didn't even realise! But nope, nothing!

@GreenIsle oh good to hear you've experienced similar! If this carries on for 2 more weeks then I'll be a happy lady. The pressure on my bladder has been immense the last few weeks

Aw @Amy1303 what a beauty 😍 what have you named him? X

4/5ths is just beginning to engaged in the pelvis, so maybe now she is deeper engaged ?

@havanamama possibly 😁 will see what the midwife has to say and report back

Maybe gone back to back? My bump practically disappears when bubbas back and bum aren’t sticking out 😂 my midwife isn’t measuring my bump anymore as it’s V small and I’m having regular growth scans for ironically big baby, and she said bump size isn’t accurate 😂🥴 so I’ve stopped stressing now about my bump. They are little acrobatic Houdinis in there x

I never engaged until I was 10cm and about to start pushing with my first 😂 always carry babies super high. Heart burn horrendous atm and so uncomfortable just over two weeks to go tho till section but this last stint feels like a long stretch doesn’t it x

@Blondewave I did wonder this! There hasn't been much difference in her movements so can't say for sure. Bump measurements are ridiculous - I'm a larger lady, my bump consists of fat as well as baby, of course it's going to measure big 🤦‍♀️

@Amy1303 our due dates were so close, it really puts things into perspective. You must be feeling so loved up with your beautiful baby boy 🥰

I've just spent 2 hours hoovering and mopping my whole downstairs, taking all the cushions off the sofa and given them all a hoover, plump and zoflora spray 😂 absolutely killed myself! Must be nesting 🤣

@TeddyBeans - I felt the bowling ball feel yesterday, I was so uncomfy, huge pressure below, eased at night and feels a bit same again today!

@Dreamingof3 - All of your list is on mine today aswell as 101 other things, Ive lacked so much motivation the last 4 weeks that Ive only done the basics, Surfaces bleached, hoovered and mopped - the laundry here is a never ending laundrette and seems never ending this week!

@Cats23 of course 10 minutes later it looks like nothings been done thanks to the kids 🤣

My partner has actually gone mad nesting the past week lol. He's cleaned out all the kitchen cupboards, built the baby wardrobe, tidied all her clothes and stuff away lol feel like it should be me but I am quite happy lazing on the couch 😂😂😂

Lucky you 😂 got my partner to do some painting earlier. However still not built cot, not packed a bag and we only moved into new house few weeks ago so got loads of boxes still to unpack...my c section is scheduled and booked for just over two weeks time and he’s asleep right now when I thought we were sorting house 🥴 x

Don't know if it's a sign but literally this afternoon I'm constantly going to the toilet 🙃 TMI I know but jheeez, I've never been so frequently in one day! 😅

I'm in nesting mode but my husband isn't, so I keep writing him more to do lists 😂🥲

It's crazy how overwhelming it gets when there's things you want to get done, but physically can't yourself.

I've had a difficult day yesterday, received some very bad news, so today just having me time and relaxing, as I don't want to being on labour before I actually hit 37 weeks

I don't know how to describe it, but has anyone felt like their whole vagina, everything between legs hurts. similarly to how period feels?

I have this pain laying down
