How does it affect the rest of your pregnancy when baby drops early?

Hello,
I'm 33 weeks today with my 3rd, I had a growth scan 2 weeks ago, they say baby is on 97th percentile, and the sonographer said the baby seemed low down then. Today I feel like I can definitely feel a drop, very heavy pressure
I literally can't remember what it was like the last 2 times, apart from last time I had SPD pain which was terrible 😩 does the pressure ease or stay the same til the end? I am having a planned C Section at 39 weeks

My baby also engaged early, around about the same time as you. I have loads of pressure but no pelvic girdle pain or anything like that thankfully. Some days I notice it more than others, it can be a bit uncomfortable at night. I can’t walk too far otherwise I do get pelvic pain but by too far I mean I did a 2 hour walk and that was way too much so I limit my walks to under an hour now.

The worst thing for me is the amount of times I’ve been having to go to the toilet because of where baby is. I also found it really difficult in my last few weeks of work to sit in my chair but it’s much better now I’m on mat leave. On the plus side, I started dilating maybe around 37 weeks as I was 1-2cm last week and got a sweep at 38+4.
