Vaginal pressure, 33 weeks pregnant

[ndavies22]

Hi everyone! I'm 33 weeks pregnant (tomorrow) and for the past week or so I have been having the feeling of pressure down there, especially when I'm walking around. I know the baby has been head down for at least a few weeks now because I am having regular scans and it really feels like the baby's head is pushing down. Has anyone else had this feeling around this time? I'm starting to get paranoid that the baby will come early! Thanks ☺️

Definitely normal to a point, I remember getting that around 32 weeks last time and taking it as a cue to slow down a bit. My midwife wasn’t worried about it and said it was a good sign, but if you start having tightenings that are following a rhythm then get yourself checked :)

Thank you for replying, that makes me feel better. When did your baby come if you don't mind me asking? Thanks ☺️

He came quite early. 36+3. He was a great weight and very healthy though so I do wonder whether my dates were a bit out tbh.

I had this and both DC had to be induced out at 42 weeks

I had this last time for a few days / weeks, and then the baby must have changed position again because it got better. Born 9 days overdue.

Also, lightening crotch, that will be a little treat for you if you’ve not had it yet. I’m 32 weeks with my second baby and looking forward to all the delights of late pregnancy 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yep I've started experiencing that the past few days as well! 😩 the joys of late pregnancy!
