Ok, excuse the ignorance but what is it that causes the infamous "John Wayne" walk in the final stages of pregnancy? Is it weight/pressure low down or pain/discomfort?
The reason I ask is that I'm 39+4 and desperate for the baby to make an appearance. Last weeks Drs appointment said the head wasn't even engaged yet Since then I've been getting sharp up the foof shooting pains from time to time (sorry if TMI!). This seemed to get worse on my walk to the shops today which resulted in a John Wayne stylee walk.
I'm fantasising it's the head getting into position so I can meet my baby - do you think it is? Thoughts appreciated, thanks.
